How long do John Hynes and Bruce Boudreau have?

[generalshepherd141]

The Devils and Wild have both gotten off to horrendous starts. Both coaches figure to be on the hot seat. How long is the leash for Hynes and then Boudreau? I say Boudreau has maybe a week or two to turn things around. Hynes I heard got an extension (somehow) last year, so he would figure to get a little more wiggle room.

[Minnesota]

Boudreau has outlasted 2 GMs, the most recent of which completely eviscerated the roster while simultaneously making an already old team older.

I don’t blame him for the team’s slow start. Anyone with eyes could see the Wild were going to be terrible before the season even started.

 

[Hynh]

Boudreau is in the last year of his contract so he probably finishes the year to save cash

 

[OVO16]

NJ had higher expectations coming into the season I think with their huge off-season splashes.

I think Hynes has about 2-3 games left to turn it around tbh

69 minutes

My first response was who is john Hynes?

Is there a lower profile head coach in the NHL?

If Boudreau goes first then Hynes likely goes 5 minutes afterwards.

Not sure Hynes can outlast Bruce at this point.

 

[CartographerNo611]

BB should be fine, Zucker is the only forward worth a damn. Others are just slow.

Hynes needs to go.

Fully agree as they are an aging team offensively challenged group of forwards, and without their big 4 on the back end they would be an automatic lottery type of team, like bottom 3 in the league.

Heck even with that big 4 they still might be a bottom 3 team in the league.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

If Bruce gets fired Hynes will be fired immediately so the Devils can grab Bruce.

 

[Blender]

Hopefully not long for Hynes.

 

[mtnet]

Jettison Hynes and crew, he's at the front of the line

I purpose a WIFE SWAP

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

New Jersey special teams are trash so, the entire coaching staff needs to change. Not just Hynes.

 

[snipes]

Boudreau would actually be good stylistic match for NJD.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

If Shero shows the same sort of idiotic stubborn loyalty to Hynes that he showed to Bylsma in Pittsburgh when it was clear Bylsma should have been fired, then I'm not sure Hynes won't be around for at least another 2 seasons. Not unless ownership basically overrules Shero and insists on Hynes being fired or Shero's gone.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Why did Hynes get a multi year extension anyway...devils were terrible last year.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

The reason for Minnesota to fire Boudreau is so that they can tank properly. If Minnesota decides it wants to Tank, then Boudreau has to go & be replaced by Randy Carlyle who will guarentee them a top5 pick.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Boudreau would actually be good stylistic match for NJD.

Yep. He worked with well with Sami Vatanen so thats one Devil who will welcome Boudreau right away.
Palmieri hopefully has forgiven Boudreau for how he misused him in Anaheim.

 

[Devilsfan992]

I would gladly take Boudreau as a Devils fan.

 

[Kevs Security]

Bruce Boudreau is one of the all time greats and even today, he ranks #7 in my list of best coaches currently in the NHL. Guerin will eventually bring in his own coach, but for now Bruce is by far the best option for this bad Wild team.

 

[TheTwelfth]

Ownership must step in soon and force Shero’s hand. No way they can resign Hall if this ship keeps sinking like this.

 

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

WE HAVE A TRADE TO ANNOUNCE!

Call the Wild. I'll drive Hynes to the airport personally.

 

[57special]

Boudreau is still very well liked in MN. Firing him would be unpopular, and put huge pressure on the new management. With the players that they have, they aren't going anywhere. Might as well ride out BB's contract, and, depending on how things go, look to re-signing him.

I'm not sure that he would re-sign, with the shit he has had to go through.
