What's that supposed to mean?

Lots of good coaches are getting signed elsewhere. Why?
Are we getting Sheldon Keefe?
I don't know why they want let him go if they want let him go, but there are few issues with his game. Still need piece for them. May be he asked for more than he should have like 7×7 or more.Nikishin I agree but I’m not sure about the other defense prospects. We will see. They also don’t seem to be doing themselves any favors if they let Necas go.
Brindamoor signed with hurricanes, we couldn't make anything with that. Other coaches are not very good. Or ex Devils.Lots of good coaches are getting signed elsewhere. Why?

there have been 4 signed and there are 5 openings as of my posting.who, exactly?
there have been 3 signed so far and two are Ruff and Green
Berube, Ruff, and Green are the only 3 I can think of.there have been 4 signed and there are 5 openings as of my posting.
It was reported by multiple outlets that we were interested in Green and Fitz himself said he'd be a strong candidate. We obviously just couldn't beat out Ottawa's offer or Green just saw Ottawa as the better option/team!Berube, Ruff, and Green are the only 3 I can think of.
Brindy doesn’t count because he was never not under contract with Carolina.
2 of 3 obviously don’t count because the Devils didn’t want them. Berube only matters if you think that was the Devils top choice. Even if Berube was, do you think he’s vastly better than other choices still out there?
Either way, I think lots of good coaches signing elsewhere is stretching it when there is only 1 signing that the Devils may have cared about.
Who would be left? Todd McLellan lol.Just name Woodcroft already. I'm starting to get a little nervous. God forbid we miss out on him, & Keefe. If so then Fitz messed up big time. How many other names are out there that we would actually want? We would be dumpster diving at this point. Who would be left?
Since he took over, Edmonton meaningfully levelled up into a near 60% xG team, and he did that while he still had Tyson Barrie in his top-four and went to the WCF.Why Woodcroft? Seemed he was cut quickly in Edmonton wonder if anyone knows why outside of goalie play as Knoblouch seemed to get team to play better or was that just Skinner?
IMO he is one of the top coaches on the market. He significantly improved the baseline of the Oilers. Seems very illogical to blame him for Skinner and Campbell being crap for six weeks.Yeah I don’t get the woodcroft enthusiasm. I mean if he gets hired I’ll be open to seeing what he can do, but I don’t feel confident one way or the other.
100%. Rod is massively overrated by the public. He runs largely outdated and inefficient systems that don't translate to being a real cup contender, and are exposed every postseason.Wow, a 5 year contract for Rod. After that lackluster playoff performance.
I highly doubt that will age well for the Canes organization. Reminds me of the contract that Sullivan got for himself earlier.
He's already been with the club for a long time and I'm pretty sure his expiration date / tune-out date is approaching with the current core.
Well he is kinda the face of the organization.At least with Sullivan he led the Pens to back-to-back Cups albeit a long time ago to deserve being there for so long.
What did Rod the Bod do to deserve an extension?
They should think outside the box. Throw an offer at Jurgen Klopp.
That's a little dramatic. He literally just got let go. Not sure how you can use it as a knock against someone to just want a moment to breath.
They don't have a coach and are trying to figure out the best one for the team, they are desperate. As they should be.
I would reckon that Keefe and Woodcroft would also be waiting on NJD because lets face it. Its the best job available
I dont see us missing out
You are right, he shouldn't need months. And if we get to the point that it has been "months" I will understand why people are annoyed by it. But we have a little bit of time before that, like months worth of it.He shouldn't need months to decide if he wants to coach again or not. Is he 12 years old? They are probably giving him until end of the WC to decide (my guess).
And Woodcroft is doing stuff atm anyways.

Southampton FC did that with Ralph Krueger. Cursed outcome.
Bill Belichik is still out there
This is such a weird way to look at things.Of the jobs available
San Jose
Pros: Low expectations, lots of young talent starting to come in
Cons: Going to be a development focused role, not going to be making the playoffs for a few years (VV Blackwood is your goalie tandem lol)
Seattle
Pros: Probably low expectations again, some young talent,
Cons: Kind of weird built team, lots of late 20's early 30's guys (McCann and Dunn are your 2 best players), probably a bubble team
Winnipeg
Pros: Inherit a pretty talented roster with an elite goalie
Cons: Said talented roster has won a single series in the last 6 years and has a history of underperforming
Neutral: Definitely a win now, Location: Both Keefe and Woodcroft are Canadian but then again Winnipeg is pretty far out there
New Jersey:
Pros: By far the most talent / star power, all early-mid 20's except Dougie, best playoff chances, could really make a name for yourself
Cons: Highest expectations? Uncertainty at goalie
If you're confident in your coaching abilities I feel like NJ is the no brainer option. I bet both Keefe and Woodcroft feel like they have something to prove after this year's disappointments
