Possible it's as a press box/video coach, or maybe replacing MacLean who was likely on a short-term contract.

Good !

How many playoff goals for Marner does this mean?

In the article Sheldon says Manny, Dean and Spencer will all be on the bench.

Maybe this move allows them to re-assign some of Malhotra's responsibilities but still keep him around for things he does do well.

What does Manny do well with? Standing with his hands in his pockets? Tough gig

Hopefully no more drop back passes to no one on our blueline to "throw off the defense" when we're skating up on the PP

Caps fans aren't happy with this which I guess is a positive. However Canucks fans said Gillman and Malhotra were good and we know how thats worked out so time will tell.

Seems we are running a 3 assistant bench then.

I wonder if Carbery takes over the PP

He must do something well if they didn't ax him. I'm giving him somewhat the benefit of the doubt.

Tremendous hire the second guy that i wanted from this article The top rising candidates for NHL coach, GM jobs

clearly these moves are an acknowledgement that their development model has not worked. another failure for Dufas.

Huh? When you can make a good move like this you do it, not sure how you can flip this one back on him

This bench lacks experience still

Keefe has made some extremely questionable decisions over our last 2 playoff appearances and needs somebody to help him keep calm when the pressure goes on


This doesn't solve that problem

It's crazy how many newbies get jobs in this organization. I'm honestly thinking of applying for a role.

Newbies are less likely to object to what they find once they get here so they are given priority in hiring.
They don't want to hire an experienced NHL guy who might rock the boat.

an assistant coach isn't there to simply overrule the head coach when he makes a decision that the fans deem as questionable, so you will probably never get your wish

To be fair Marner probably produces more with better coaching. He’s a playoff choker but coaches need to find better matchups

Go for it.

Leafs hire experience
HF: he's a dinosaur that's out of touch

Leafs hire young
HF: he doesn't have experience

Your an idiot if you think putting Tavares Matthews and Marner on one line while Nylander plays center for the 1st time in how many years? In an elimination game isn't questionable

Or not splitting up Matthews and Marner as they do absolutely nothing over an entire 7 game playoff round

I realize your a cheerleader for this lot but you should try a little critical thinking then get back to me
