That should make him a fan favourite on its own. Barnaby was a POS and was insufferable.

lol @ the people who dont think this is a good hire. It's fine to have a personal opinion but that doesnt mean its an informed one. Most people saying that, probably never heard of him in the first place.
Richardson is a great hire. Good pedigree and varied experience. Will be great with the younger players from having coached the AHL extremely well and will have the respect from the veterans from having coached NHL teams and Team Canada.Teaming with Ducharme, will bring the best out of our players.
An assistant coach,coaches the system the head coach decides to play. So if Julien wants to play a zone coverage, Luke will do his best to coach that. Just because a team doesnt do well defensively,it doesnt automatically mean the ass. coach sucks. It's all about what small details that coach can bring in the chosen system. Daignault probably became "stale" so to be speak, and didnt have any fresh ideas. Also, hearing the same voice year in and year out, can be a stagnating problem in itself.
I for one, really am happy with the coaches put in place for this season, both in the AHL and NHL.

Not sure I agree. JJD was our defensive coach and benifited from MT coaching strategy where it was a defense first in front of one of the best NHL goalies. Dump pucks out or get it out at whatever costs. I like that we moved on from JJD. Was it his fault last year and will Richardson be better? Not sure but a change was needed. We need someone who fits under what Julien is trying to do and I suspect this is Julien's hire. Change in this area is a good thing. New guy with a fresh start.

The idea of a coach is suppose to develop the player into something he is not is silly.

My problem with JJD was it appeared to be way to passive. I like the Muller types. When they speak, you listen. Not sure if Richardson is that type but he has to be more vocal vs JJD.. right or wrong?
Anybody know if Richardson can speak French? Not like this matters right?

ahh. MB's ego type of guy! I say this is what MB sees when he looks into a mirror.
Yet you'd think coaches are entirely responsible for whether or not a player makes it, if you read posts here.

One town, one team, three NHLers i guess this was photoshopped then

You gotta be kidding, right? They grew up together, they played minor hockey together in Montreal. Do you want to change your story yet? Go ask your 'friend', because you obviously do not know him at all. Marc Bergevin and Jean-Jacques Daigneault played together in the late 1970s for the Ville-Émard Hurricanes.
God I love busting the liars here, lol. What else you got?

The whole development or lack their off has taken new levels. Some think we should of developed McCarron into a top 2 center by now and that is Sly's fault. It's always someone's fault and almost never on the player.

The Islanders were horrific defensively. I know their defense and goaltending aren't good, but they shouldn't be allowing THAT many goals.

Good pedigree. Would have prefered Kitchen but he's fine. Can't wait to see those guys trying to make miracles with what they have.

Yeah but if they lose, they better lose with the right attitude. That's how you win
When your team is last for GA...I think it's safe to say that your issues extend beyond the assistant coach in charge of running the Dmen.

It's likely a larger systemic issue...rather than the ability of the assistant coach responsible for deciding which Dmen goes out on the ice.

great coaches get the most out of their players and adapt to their talent, and put them in a position to succeed. At that point, it's on the player, but if a coach uses a guy wrong and a player doesn't know their role on the team (eller), then that's an issue.
I didn't say the coach doesn't have a role to play...he does.
I just don't think it's to the extent most think.

Since clearly you have...perhaps you can give me a quick synopsis of what you're talking about and how it applies to what I wrote?
I have to "read up" on developmental psychology because I don't believe coaches make or break players....
Let's use a case study, you can explain it to me using real examples...
PK Subban played 1yr under Guy Boucher with the Hamilton Bulldogs...had an amazing year under Boucher, graduated to the NHL and has pretty much been a superstar Dman since.
Using what I presume are principles from developmental psychology you think would do wonders for me...
I'm lead to believe that Guy Boucher was responsible for PK Subban's metamorphosis into a superstar Dman, right?
Ok....
So how come he hasn't been able to re-create that in Ottawa with anyone else?
