Top coach vs top player/bad coach

[illpucks]

Two options you can either replace your current coach with the best coach in the league or any best all time coach OR

You can get the best player in the league or any 1 player currently in NHL but you lose your current best player and your current coach will be replaced by a all-time bad NHL coach.

So using leafs as example

Option 1:
Scotty Bowman instead of Babcock. Unchanged roster.

Option 2:
Lose Matthews. Get McDavid. Lose Babcock. Get Dallas Eakins.

Leafs aren't the best example and probably I should use a different team because I don't want to turn this into Matthews McDavid but it's the only one on the top of my head at the moment. And you can choose any player not just consensus best. But think of your team say it's Arizona and you can decide.

You can easily fire the coach so I’ll take the best player.

I mean it like you have to keep the bad coach.

Went with Option 1. Bowman and Karlsson? Yes please.

I mean it like you have to keep the bad coach.

That's unrealistic. You fire a bad coach. maybe it takes 2-3 years, but it happens, if the coach sucks he'll be fired. If you get Mcdavid you have him for a good 10-15 years normally.

Good player/bad coach easily.

 

[Meeqs]

Its super easy to fire a coach, only a handful have been on their team for more than 3 seasons. Top players come along once every 10 years

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Top coach.

You can have the top caoch with a bunch of good players without the top player and do extremely well, for a long time.

 

[The Nuge]

So I can have say Babcock and McDavid, or Eakins, and McDavid? The premise is a little flawed for Oiler fans

 

[Karl Eriksson]

I'll go Bowman

 

[MakeTheGoalsLarger]

Top player + joke of a coach

It worked once already with Crosby and Bylsma

 

[habsterr]

Top player bad coach

Fire the bad coach if the team fails, keep him if we win the cup.

Where does it say that?
You can have McDavid but you will lose your best player. Your coach will also be replaced by Dallas Eakins. And you can't fire him in the short term

Or you can replace your current coach with Scotty Bowman or top current coach

 

[teravaineSAROS]

Vegas did better than McDavid's Edmonton

You do realize that McDavid plays for Edmonton right? Replacing McDavid with McDavid changes nothing.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

The gap between the best and worst coach is much larger than the gap between Hedman and McDavid.

That's unrealistic. You fire a bad coach. maybe it takes 2-3 years, but it happens, if the coach sucks he'll be fired. If you get Mcdavid you have him for a good 10-15 years normally.

Good player/bad coach easily.

I’d take that option if you didn’t have to lose your current best player.
