Sudbury Wolves 2020 Offseason Thread (Part 2)

WOW

 

[I Loveallsports]

Curious to see who they go with. Might be Moxam. No idea how he would be as a lead guy or if he wants the job. Big responsibility.

 

[cub]

I'm thinking with the uncertainty of the upcoming season, Maybe see Moxam and Stortini start the season, maybe as interim coaches. Little short notice to find a coach asap I think. Mackenzie I think still with the coaching staff in Florida.

 

[Habs0101]

Maybe Derek McKenzie now?

Sidel and Mrs S

This was rumoured at the end of last season

With COVID I didn't think it'd happen

We may not see Chase back either

2020 the gift that keeps giving

this is not good news.

Yes I recall someone in here commenting last year that Stillman would not be back as coach and Chase would be traded. I hope Chase isn’t traded because I think he will develop into a premiere player. A couple of things I find interesting is that Zulich confirmed his departure and not the GM. I find that really weird. And how this will
Impact players wanting to report here if the Wolves don’t hire a good quality coach that will be able to develop all the players. Play four lines and run good practices.
Anyone have a list of available coaches that may look at the job.

Yes I believe I mentioned it. It’d been rumoured there was conflicts within management and interests between the two parties. Chase could still come back yet though, we will see

Don’t see why Sudbury would trade chase. If he wasn’t happy the only thing I’d worry about is him staying in Denmark where he’s lighting it up

That's what seems more likely right now I'd agree.

I don't think they'd want to trade Chase right now at all

 

[billoink]

Chase would be smart to stay and play in a league that will fast track him in the draft and better his chances of making the move down the road to the show. To return to a no body contact league and God knows what other restrictions would be foolish.

The no body contact was dismissed like 3 hours after it was said. That is and was never going to happen

Well, there goes a big reason young players would come north. Having an NHL player coaching is certainly a big deal for young player and their families.

 

[Generalsupdates]

Murray has signed with Surahanmars IF of the HockeyEttan in Sweden if the ohl doesn’t play this year

 

[Wolfman Jack]

One name being kicked around in hockey circles is Scott McCrory as possible interest in the vacant coaching position. I’m sure more names will come to surface in the coming weeks especially if there is a season come Feb.1

Do you think the Wolves would be interested in bringing in 67's Assistant coach Norm Milley as head coach?

Can't see that happening. A little to "green" for my liking.

I’m sure there will be no lack of candidates to apply. Norm Milley would be a good candidate as he has OHL experience behind the bench. His leadership skills and composure not to mention one of the best offensive juggernauts ever as a player with the Sudbury Wolves would be high on the list. What worries me is that local connections always seems to come to surface with this organization. When I hear the McCrory name connections are all over the place. Would be a shame if they don’t look past that when making this decision. Hope to hear other names in the coming days. The Wolves cannot afford to lose out on a quality coaching candidate with pro experience that will relate and develop the talented members of this team. Especially our newly drafted players. I think we had a tremendous draft and have the making of some exciting future stars. All depends on the guidance and mentorship behind the bench. Need to hit a home run with the successful coaching candidate.

I'm sure he would be on the list of candidates. He has been assistant coach under pretty good head coach Andre Tourigny, he was one my favourite Wolf. I'm sure Papineau is getting alot phone calls.

 

[I Loveallsports]

I feel they will go after a person who has pro experience and currently in a role or similar to which Stillman had, prior to joining the wolves.

 

[billoink]

There are presently 3 assistant coaches for the Florida Panthers, could one be on the short list for Sudbury???

I don't know Scott McCory as a coach, if he's like his brother Barry, I say hard pass. lol.
