Like many others, this move does not excite me at all.
But it is what it is and we have to give it a chance. The thing with Hynes is- had we hired him right out of his AHL stint, we would probably be fired up about it. He was highly successful in the AHL. Even more so than Karl Taylor, who many of us would have been happy with.
And there have been many examples of coaches who struggle in their first NHL job and go on to have great success
So we may as well give it a chance. As mentioned above, who would have ever though Craig Berube would do what he has done?
You just never know..
