OT: Kevin Dineen Reunited With Kris Versteeg

[LUUUUUIS]

@JoshRimerHockey·
The Chicago Blackhawks have hired Kevin Dineen as Assistant coach.

I wonder if KD will get a little doghouse he can put next to Quenneville's doghouse for Versteeg to stay in.

Good for him, great guy, build up the resume. Still the only coach to bring us to the playoffs this century.

Dineen still has ways to go to become a succeesful HC in the NHL, coaching next to Q is probably a good start.

Good for him. He deserves it. Just was time for him to go when he was here.

I'm glad to hear this. I never disliked Dineen, but things just weren't working out in his situation here. I can't think of a better organization and head coach for him to work with than in Chicago.

 

[Great8Cam]

Great Guy and he deserves a chance to keep coaching in the NHL.

LOL and they've still got Kitchen they are the Vancouver for our ex coaches. Well except they win.

Might increase our possibilities to trade with them, even if its just as an assistant coach am I sure they would ask him if Tallon approached Hawks for a trade.

I doubt they want any of our roster garbage.

Are you talking about the same team that took Kris Versteeg and Rostislav Olesz?

They took Kris Versteeg at a diminished rate. We had Versteeg as a first liner and it was garbage. They had Versteeg as a third liner and it wasn't so bad.

And they hardly took Olesz. More like they buried him.

My point though is that the addition of Kevin Dineen will not influence Chicago in making a poor decision. Dineen is an ******* anyways. My money says he hated most of his players lol.

what does that tell you?

good for him, though it will be a long time (if ever) before he gets another chance to run a team.

I think he will. Dineen is a good coach, he just lost the locker room here. His style didn't work well with what we had, but I'm still grateful for the playoffs he helped us get to.

I see him taking a route similar to our current head coach Gerard Gallant. Dineen will probably be an assistant for a few years, make himself a name and then another young, up-and-coming team will likely pick him up to be there main guy.
