he's the only coach that'll talk to the phat little guy . lolHe's Phil Kessel's favourite coach, so I don't think he's nearly the ass-kicker as a coach that he was as a player.
@ 50% retained? Let's dooooo it lolDoes this mean Phil comes back
Can he lace them up? Probably be more physical than them
I'd like this. Really want Boudreau, but I don't think we get Boudreau unless Keefe gets himself canned. Tocchet would definitely be a good hire. Malhotra is still very green, as is Keefe really.
We finally have tocchet and Shanahan o wait it's a dream they don't play any more.Can he lace them up? Probably be more physical than them
If he can't get a HC job, what better than taking an AC job with your hometown team? And taking an AC coaching job behind a guy with minimal HC experience at that. Seems like a good way to stay employed. Take a job in your hometown where you could easily be in the running to take the guy above you's job. Not sure why it seems far fetchedWhy would Dubas hire Tocchet, and more importantly why would Tocchet be interested in playing second fiddle to Keefe? Friedman needs to get a haircut, he might have a brain tumour growing in that rat’s nest?
True that, but the next coach will be hired by the next GM, so why associate yourself with a train wreck about to unfold? Not exactly the stuff you’d want on your resume.If he can't get a HC job, what better than taking an AC job with your hometown team?

Well that simply comes down to how bad you want work/want your foot in the door. If and when there is a next GM, Tocchet might be employed elsewhere, or not be what that GM is looking for. Make hay while the sun shines. Possibly a once in a lifetime opportunity to be on the coaching staff of your hometown team, and can make more as an assistant here than a head coach in a lot of other places if they want you enoughTrue that, but the next coach will be hired by the next GM, so why associate yourself with a train wreck about to unfold?

And will most likely suck for the next coach.Dubas could always move Keefe into the head office, and hire a new coach. I'd rather a player shakeup than a coaching one though. Same guys who sucked for Babcock sucked for Keefe.
