Isn't this the guy so many Finnish posters were upset with when he was coaching the under 20 team? Can't tell much about him but he certainly did get a lot of heat on hfboards.
What makes you think he'd be joining the Blackhawks? Do they need another assistant?

Upset??? Dude is awesome coach. Finland won the gold and silver under his coaching in the world juniors.
- i don't recall any negative talk.
He haves a connection to the Hawks organization, if i'm not mistaken.

He could be a much better option in Rockford.

Rockford needs all the help they can get so if he's accomplished coaching youth then whats the downside...

So zero reason to suspect he's coming to Chicago. What a thread...
And we have 4 coaches already. We don't need another unless he's here to replace King in Rockford.

I don't know if this guy specifically is coming over to Rockford or Chicago but what I do think is interesting is this organization seems to be in the buiness of developing coaches as well as players.
You see it with Colliton but also I suspect that's what's happening with some former players who start out in player development and move up. Brookbank and now Campbell and we'll see more.
The reality is we are going to lose coaches at some point through performance or job opportunities. If there are a lot of coaching changes in the NHL you gotta think Crawford's name is in the mix after doing well in Ottawa where he just lost out on the HC gig and the positive feedback about his time in Chicago.
