Jarmo maybe. I think JD is here for the rest of his careerVincent may be the guy, but the optics would look risky , almost lazy .. they stayed within with Lars after Torts.. doing the same with Vincent … of course if this next coach doesn’t pan out , Jarmo will be canned , maybe Jd…
Probably. But how much longer is that? He's 70 now.Jarmo maybe. I think JD is here for the rest of his career
I'm all for Brunette when you see how Florida played last year and how the Devils have changed since he came there as an assistant this year. I have no idea why Florida didn't keep him and his whole golf cart DUI thing this year is a bad look but shouldn't be a disqualifier.
He seems great at working with young players. NJ was filled with them and we aren't that far behind depending on who we get in the coming draft. He'll certainly be a guy considered for several jobs. I'd love to see the Devils win the cup this year before he leaves. Unlikely but they can be a contender.
Larson never had a chance. I still think they should have ate the last year of Tort's deal and maybe they would have hired someone different. It is a shame that the injuries this year did him in. Wonder how different it would have been had everyone stayed healthy.
As far as Legace goes, thought he was a good coach, it showed as Korpisalo had a solid year coming off injury and a couple of tough seasons. Elvis needs to straighten out his head, and maybe check his ego a bit, and figure out how to be a decent goalie. In my opinion this was more separating them over what happened to Kivlenieks than the job he was doing.
What happened under Torts isn't important. He respected him as a head coach.The relationship between Korpisalo, Legace and Kivlenieks, and his play recently, is always conveniently left out regarding Elvis’ play this past year.
Korpisalo played with him going back to 2017-18, and I’m guessing while not being “best friends”, also spent a significant amount of time with him the last handful of years.
Legace didn’t make Elvis a worse goalie and it was impossible to make him a “better” goalie.
Larsen was always set up to fail, with a team full of players who can’t play the right way, and 1 of his highest paid “superstar” players openly disrespecting him on the bench a year prior.
Eh, with his role I think he can do it for another 5-6 years if he wants to.Probably. But how much longer is that? He's 70 now.
Gross.Jarmo maybe. I think JD is here for the rest of his career
Yup those Gudbranson words were damning at the time.I don't think Jarmo will be fired after THIS season.
To Lars. Maybe this is the real reason, remember the game against Buffalo (loss 9:4) and Gudbranson words.
That Florida team won the President's Trophy. It sounds like you are describing the CBJ except we finished in 31st.That Florida roster played zero defense.
Lot of 6-5 games and lot of huge comebacks.
Also that Florida roster was insanely deep, they had a ppg player on their 3rd line
No. I think firing Legace is an attempt to clear away the past and jump start Elvis's career.Watching Jarmo.. it’s pretty clear that Guds interview after the Buffalo game in Dec was telling . Culture and work ethic seem to be why we replaced Larsen . Key things that stood out , Brad, and Manny were let go.. they like Vincent, and McCarthy .. he talked about both goalies and their preparation.. seemed to insinuate that left a lot to be desired … Do they buy Elvis out ?
