Bandwagoner.Seriously, He's my idol. I became an Habs when we grabbed Jocelyn Thibault and still a fan of both team. I quit the team when he leaves. Now that Bergevin and habs management is just awful and it will be the same for years to come because they consider them like cup contender, which is surely not the case. So because Sakic's mangement is exactly what could lead the team to another dynastie, Im back with you guys.
Give me some love!

Since the Panthers/Gallant was mentioned, I thought I'd chime in as a Panthers fan.
I think Gallant is a great head coach. But if you read in between the lines on his firing in Florida and Vegas, it seems pretty clear to me that he might have issues with how he cooperates with upper management. At the time he was fired in Florida, all of the team's management was going crazy for analytics. And Gallant seemed to be very resistant to implementing the changes that the analytics suggested. That seems to be the primary reason he was fired and Rowe was implemented as a figurehead who would do what the analytics team said.
Again, I think he's a great coach. I don't know your team well enough to understand the intricacies of your team management. But if they have any above average interest in analytics, or you have management that likes to have a lot of control over the coach... there's a good chance that bringing in Gallant will create a lot of friction. He wore out his welcome very quickly in Vegas for what I would assume to be similar reasons. Ask yourself why he got fired in Vegas so shortly after taking their team all the way to the Cup final in their first season. That should buy you a boatload of goodwill with the upper management, right? He is a great, but stubborn coach who doesn't like to be told what to do.
Yeah I remember you and others (me included) being called a Sakic homer quite a few times.
Amazing. Kept every 1st round pick in doing this.We ended the playoff run a year ago with a roster looking something like this.
Landeskog - Mack - Rantanen
Kerfoot - Soderberg - Wilson
Compher - Jost - Nieto
Andrighetto - Bourque - Calvert
Barrie - EJ
Zadorov - Makar
Cole - Girard
Look at what Joe Sakic has done in two off- seasons.
Landeskog - MacK - Rantanen
Saad - Kadri - Burakovsky
Nichushkin - Compher - Donskoi
Calvert - Bellemare - LOC
Toews - Makar
Girard - Johnson
Graves - Timmins/Cole
And not only are we not in salary cap trouble, we victimized a couple teams who were desperate for cap relief along the way.We ended the playoff run a year ago with a roster looking something like this.
Landeskog - Mack - Rantanen
Kerfoot - Soderberg - Wilson
Compher - Jost - Nieto
Andrighetto - Bourque - Calvert
