John Shannon:April 9th 2018 will be known as Black Friday in the NHL

[viper0220]

I was listening to the Fan 960(in Calgary) and they had John Shannon on and were talking about management issues and coaches that may be fired, and this is what John Shannon said:

- April 9th 2018 will be known as Black Friday in the NHL because 8-10 coaches maybe fired.

- There will be a domino effect, where one coach is fired and teams want a shot at that coach. And John Shannon said that coach maybe Joel Quenneville.

- There is a power struggle in Chicago between Joel Quenneville and Stan Bowman, it is hard to know who has the hammer but not both of them will be there, one of Joel Quenneville or Stan Bowman will be let go. Joel Quenneville does not see eye to eye with Stan Bowman, Joel Quenneville was not happy about Saad for Panarin.

- Darryl Sutter has offers from 2 teams, Darryl Sutter wants to coach. John Shannon knows the 2 teams but he refused to say which ones they were.

- There maybe 1 or 2 surprise firing that will come out of field left, he said not say much here.

- Ken Holland will have the chance to decide for himself if he wants to stay in Detroit, according to John John Shannon, he has heard 3 stories over the last 3 weeks and they are 1.) Ken Holland will resign in Detroit. 2.) Ken Holland will not be resigned in Detroit. 3) Ken Holland will become the GM of the new Seattle team. John Shannon mentions that he expects Ken Holland will be in Detroit, by trading Tomas Tatar for picks, it sends a message that Ken Holland will be in Detroit.

- Edmonton will make a change at the GM position or in the coaching position.

Please note that is not from me but from John Shannon, I missed some of the interview but when I got in my car to go to work,I turned on the radio to Fan 960 and this was on.

Any guesses to the 8-10 coaches that will be fired?

Please Please Please go to Seattle,Kenny.

Bowman should be gone from Chicago. He's made some really bad moves the last few years. Can't comment on quenville. Don't watch Chicago enough to dissect the minutiea of his coaching. But I gotta think bowman has to be on the hotter of the two seats.

 

[Arpeggio]

As an Oiler fan I think McLellan is clearly gone once the year is up.

 

[Frosty415]

I don't think the Oilers would fire Chia, probably just McLellan

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Quenneville, McLellan, Gulutzan, Housley, Weight, Yeo, Green, Boucher, Trotz?

 

[Bjorn Le]

8-10 is a lot. Too many I think.

Edmonton, Montreal, Chicago, Buffalo, Rangers, Islanders, Carolina? No idea outside the first few.

 

[JT Kreider]

If freaking Quenneville gets fired but not AV I'm going to be furious with Gorton

 

[viper0220]

As an Oiler fan I think McLellan is clearly gone once the year is up.

Why McLeean and not Chia? John Shannon did mention one of them will be let go.

 

[viper0220]

Quenneville, McLellan, Gulutzan, Housley, Weight, Yeo, Green, Boucher, Trotz?

If the Caps don't go far, I think Tortz is gone. I agree with your suggestions.

 

[tom leafers]

Quenneville, McLellan, Gulutzan, Housley, Weight, Yeo, Green, Boucher, Trotz?

Maby AV from the rangers as well

I think JustaFinnishGuy nails it in post 5.

 

[Arpeggio]

Why McLeean and not Chia? John Shannon did mention one of them will be let go.

Put simply, I think you can make the argument that the special teams have completely sunk the Oilers this year, and that probably earns Chiarelli one more coach.

I mean I wouldn't be shocked if they dropped both either, but I think generally when a team underperforms its the coach first, then GM.

I think AV is gone, the Rangers are rebuilding and AV is not the coach for a rebuild.

 

[Syckle78]

Quenneville, McLellan, Gulutzan, Housley, Weight, Yeo, Green, Boucher, Trotz?

Blashill is almost definitely gone. Can't really see him coming back. Team blows and strife in the locker room..

 

[Wolfpuck]

I think Peters will be gone. Whoever the new GM is will likely want to bring in his own guy. Besides, Peters hasn't done enough this season to warrant keeping his job, especially if the Canes are making big changes.

 

[JT Kreider]

I think AV is gone, the Rangers are rebuilding and AV is not the coach for a rebuild.

The Miller fiasco makes it seem like AV still has influence on present and future roster decisions.

As soon as JT was traded all that nonsense leaked about how uncoachable he was.


AV might have won out on that one.

 

[Spazkat]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Carlyle is among them. I doubt it would actually happen.... but that's pretty darn high on my wishlist.

 

[Chainshot]

Yeah, Carolina seems like a no-brainer for the list since the new GM will likely be installing a coach of their choosing.

I hope Buffalo is one, but I have this terrible feeling Botterill will be old school enough to give Housley, who's been overmatched for most of this season, at least a couple of months next season, even if that will likely mean the year will be sunk before he's removed.

 

[Paperbagofglory]

Please welcome Doug Weight, the new head coach of the Edmonton Oilers.

 

[Suntouchable13]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Carlyle is among them. I doubt it would actually happen.... but that's pretty darn high on my wishlist.

Please, tell me why? As a Leafs fan who loathed Carlyle just before he was fired, I would love to hear how bad he actually is.

I think Shannon is conflating the two trades. It was the Hammer trade that Q walked out after hearing about.
Niklas Hjalmarsson tries to move on after regrettable trade from Blackhawks

It could be but John Shannon said it was Saad for Panarin. I think he might have mixed it up.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The two teams I could see considering Darryl Sutter as head coach... Edmonton and Chicago.

 

[Jumptheshark]

This might be the first year a coach does not get fired during the season in a very long time

that is why it will be black friday or the walk of shame day

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Makes sense. It was very predictable no one was fired this season, but at the same time, that’s going to kick back sooner rather than later.
