avs weren't planning on roy quitting
That's their problem. No need to make it ours. If they want Arniel, the only way I let him go is if we already have someone lined up to take his spot.

Yeah that was a crappy move quitting this late in the summer. I know a lot of Avs fans are happy to see him gone but you quit after the season - not a month or two prior to training camp.

Would we get draft pick compensation? I'd trade Arniel for a 7th in a heartbeat![]()
I believe they recently removed compensation for coaches leaving and being hired elsewhere. (And I think it was only for head coach anyway?)
If I am NYR I don't let Colorado talk to Arniel. We are a month from the start of training camp. At this point they are already into the season essentially with minimal time to find a replacement. Look how long it took to announce the Beuk promotion after Ulfie left.

If you want to piss off your staff, that's the fastest way to do it. "There's a great opportunity out there for you, but we won't let you go for it."
I can't see the Rangers blocking him. They usually try to do right by their people, and he can be replaced.
If they were askign at the end of teh season, you know, during the normal time frame for hiring coaches, you absolutely let him talk to the Avs. However, this close to teh beginning of the season is a different story. Where do you draw the line for when you allow coaches to talk to other teams? Start of training camp, start of the regular season? What about the middle of the season?
Arniel is just reacting to the job market - he didn't pick when the spot became available.
Not sure if you've ever managed people before, but if you block their ability to advance their career, not only will you make them bitter but word will get around. The Rangers usually try pretty hard to make sure everyone is well aware of how well they treat their employees.
A head-coach is worth a 3rd round pick.
A coach in the NHL is quite a bit different than corporate america so that comparison doesn't work.
So as a GM you would be OK with a team firing their coach mid season and then asking to speak with your top assistant mid season?
It's not mid-season and there's plenty of time to get a replacement. The Rangers have always allowed their assistants to apply for head coaching positions, they're not going to prevent Arniel from doing so.
