Speculation: The coaching search continues

[redbrick98]

Jim Montgomery might become available if he keeps making head scratching goalie switches

 

[Qward]

Have we hired Craig Berube yet?

 

[Senovision]

I think Jim Montgomery is a coach that got some lucky breaks.
Lack of key injuries.
He inherited great veteran leaders who were already great 200 foot hockey players.
A well built hockey team with depth and built the right way
And NOT ONE....... but two outstanding goalies.

No but we probably will end up with Craig Button.......( just kidding)
I hope we get Craig Berube.

It was John Gruden who was responsible for Boston's success last year....or let's just go with that....

Decent chance Toronto fires Keefe too if they don't make a run.

Claude Julien veut revenir dans la LNH

Ce serait parfait pour les Sens.

Claude Julien would be about as close to continuing with Martin as is possible, I'm sure he'll get an interview if he's interested

Said he have now lots of energy and when watching games, he feels he have answers for what’s was wrong

I’d do it if the deal is he has no say in the Power Play, Staois gets to hire the power play coach (or he keeps Alfie to do it)

Claude is past his best before date, the steam would give him a heart attack .

I put him up in the stands with Jacques Marte and have the French Duo Consultants for Chabot and company.

I don't know man I think we need to fire anybody remotely close to the goaltending coaches again. These are the same guys who consulted on getting copy and Murray and whoever. Justin Peters was never the grade of a goaltending coach. We need to buy the Roberto Luongo and Company from Florida to come and help our team.

Andlauer have work with Stephane Waite and still available. I wonder if he gonna call him this summer

 

[SensHulk]

If they go with Claude Julien, he’s likely just a placeholder for John Gruden (we’re all just waiting for him to be available before any decision is made, right?)

I’d probably be Ok with this over the option of John Gruden taking the reins right away. Feels a lot like what they’re doing with Ryan Bowness too

 

[Tuna99]

Boston has scored 12 goals - Toronto has scored 6.

Keefe will be our next head coach.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I'm guessing Berube will wait to see what happens in Toronto first.

IMO Julien would be a good choice. Very experienced .. More defense first like Martin. If he is healthy and can give us 3 good years .. I have zero issues ;
He'd be a good fit imo.

 

[hockey20000]

todd be my first choice but happy with berube also either way

Todd McLellan gonna cost pretty penny to bring in.

According to Garroich, McLellan was making $5m USD per year with the Kings.

He also mentions that Ottawa had sat down with Evason, he has a year remaining and making $2M per year with the Wild.

Another note of worthy news is that Ottawa has or plans to meet with Berube.

Senators begin to zero in on new head coach with interviews underway

The Ottawa Senators have taken the next step in their search for a new head coach, Postmedia has learned.

What about that winning pedigree they mentioned? Guy hasn't coached an NHL team to a playoff series win

They just interviewed him, they didn't hire him yet. No guarantee Berube or Gallant will agree to come here barring a massive overpayment.

Evason's playoff record (in the NHL and AHL) is pretty horrid, but he did constantly get 100+ point seasons.

 

[Emerica]

I don’t think i can handle having a coach that is from a place called Flin Flon

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Damn, even his junior playoff record sucks. What’s up with this guy?

$$ should not be an issue with this ownership group

5 million for McLellan is still a lot. If money isn't an issue they should go with Gallant.
