Not just a nepotism hire – looks to be a very good coach in his own rights. Buckle up.

 

[Six Assets]

We need someone who can help develop young players, I don't know anything about Mann but hopefully he's that kind of guy.

Is he related for sure?

Is he related for sure?

Yep. Trent's brother.

 

[Tuna99]

In impressed with Trent Mann so I give this hire a nod

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Not bad. Good track record and comes from a winning environment.

Cup Final is bittersweet validation for fired Hershey coach

Good article here about Mann and how he played a role in the Caps winning the cup.

Got key guys likes Vrana, Stephenson, and Djoos ready to be pros amongst others.

Stephenson actually credited Mann for his willingness to play the younger guy and really giving them a chance to succeed.. which obviously is a great plus for us sens fans who will likely be relying on youth and prospect development for the next few years.

Hes had lots of success with Hersey making the playoffs 3 out of the 4 years which includes a finals appearance. Trotz gave Mann a lot of credit for his ability to get their AHL guys to be ready and prepared for the NHL.

Great hire

Solid signing

I like the fact we have done this ,Trent has done some great work in the clutch for us...His brother looks to be a winner as well,maybe we can fix the Belleville team and give the fans down there something to cheer about

 

[Sensinitis]

Sweet.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Dorion really emphasizing that Character angle. Still want to know about the Broken room .. and when he decided there was one.

 

[DrakeAndJosh]

If he really values development over playing ahl vets than I love this hire. Also interesting that we’d hire the B Sens coach while Randy is still suspended. Wonder if that means anything.

 

[SpezDispenser]

I love that it sounds like he'll play the young kids over the vets.

Fingers crossed that he’s given his last shoulder rub as our AGM

 

[The Lewler]

This seems good.

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

I entered this thread expecting nepotism as any hire these days seems to be.

Was not disappointed haha, so I'm glad to hear he is a highly regarded coach.

 

[BonkTastic]

This was expected, right?

I seem to recall lots of people speculating that it was a foregone conclusion that we'd bring in the other Mann brother pretty much the day Koach K got the boot in Belleville.

Ottawasun headline ideas:

Right Mann for the job.
Sens get their Mann.
Who's the Mann?

Also when he's fired:

Mann-overboard.

The hundred dollar Mann.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

If he's truly about player development, this will be a nice addition to the organization. We badly needed to move away from Kleinendorst and his love of veterans without a future.

He's also got an outside shot at being the Sens next coach so that's nice for him.

 

[Karl Prime]

Pretty happy with this hire. Belleville badly needed a coach willing to develop the young players.

Good. Now let's just get a proper AHL GM, a proper NHL GM, a proper owner, and we're all set.
