If a new GM comes in lets hope Green goes with the rest of the garbage.
10 future NHLers? I have to cringe at that comment...
16 players were drafted by NHL teams
16 players went on to play professional AHL/NHL games, 1 to the KHL
10 played NHL games
You're not, he was in Sweden at the time.Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to take anything away from Anton Cederholm.
The point I am trying to make is coaching definitely can make a difference. If it makes no difference, teams wouldn't even spend bucks on coaching. The numbers show Gudbranson was like the worst D in the league. Having Stecher is the top 4 instead of Gudbranson definitely would of make a difference.
Green should be fired becaude he is a horrible coach. I am still trying to figure out where this mythe came from that he good at developing players. He is horrible at developing players.
You have no evidence or basis as to why he is terrible at developing players. If your only example is that he played Gudbranson in the top 4 for too long, I dont think its enough to have him fired. And if you use Goldobin as another example - well I happen to agree with how much ice Goldobin has seen.
What kind of evidences do you want me to provide? Aside from the big 3 of Horvat Boeser Petey. Great players will perform regardless who is the coach. There is nobody on the roster that taken their game to another level/ improve a lot with Green as a head coach. This is not evidences? If he was good at developing players.
Your response before would be player A B C D E has all improve under Green
Tell me which young player did Green developed? If you can't name a handful. That is evidences already that he is not at good at developing players.
The time that Green was the coach in Utica. Every player that he coached for at least a season down there. I believe there is only player that made it to him full time and that's Virtanen.
We need to keep only our goalie coach, who did (obviously) great work with Marky. Green, and the ready should be on the same plane out of town with Benning.
A coaching change will literally do nothing for this team. Fire Green for what? Are we even done our rebuild yet, what's the point of bringing a new coach if we're still trying to tank for top 5 picks. Player development, the only one who can't seem to get on track is Goldobin, I'd say that's on him considering Green helped Virtanen, Hutton, Biega, Stecher improve their games. Pearson, Leivo, and Schenn have fit in well with the team, Green should be credited with that as well, that's a coach's responsibility to get new guys to fit in half way through a season.
This board was going crazy whenever Willie continuously rolled 4 lines no matter the zone in which the faceoff is being taken. Now, we have a coach who knows what matching lines are and gives his skill players opportunities to score, and everybody wants to fire him?
Excellent point. I had forgotten Manny. So we keep Clark and Manny.Well, I would keep Manny as well as Clarke. Obviously I am biased, but I look at Horvat's FO% and I know a little about coach selection.
You bench a guy, in Quinn Hughes, the whole ****ing building wants to see, to do what? Finish closer to the playoff spot you’ve been eliminated from?
This goof needs to go. No charisma, never smiles, and doesn’t seem to have a clue that fans want to be entertained.

Kids don't automatically develop just by the coach opening the gate and giving them more playing time. They have learning to do. There are a few-EP40 seems to be one-who enter the league knowing what to do.
Pettersson has not scored a 5-on-5 goal since 1/20 against Detroit. That's more than 2 months (26 games).
Can Green finally end his silly Leivo-Pettersson-Boeser experiment?
Surrounding Pettersson with two poor-skating shooter with limited play making ability has totally killed Pettersson's even strength scoring.
Green's insistence on keeping this line in tact despite horrible on-ice results really shows that he is a Willie Desjardins level coach that relies on his personal bias rather than objective analysis for making coaching decisions.
So lets just dip into our great wealth of quality wingers. Who would u like to see? Eriksson? Goldobin? Virtanen?
Pettersson plays with our best winger. When Baertschi is healthy he's had alot of shifts with them. So thats our best & second best winger.
The team just isnt good. If they had Tkachuk or Ehlers im sure they would play with Pettersson, but we just dont have a good team. Travis doesnt have alot to work with.
