No brainer,but nontheless GJ this guys has done a great job turning our kids, into men ready to play in the NHL

Good news!

Now Brady to go! (and the other Mann?)

We've really got to "Mann-up"!

 

[Yak]

The Mann brothers both need to be part of the long-term plan of the organization. I would be miffed if he was thrown into coach role as rookie coach. I would rather he went into director of player development position.A much safer role and have him around longer then coaches or GM's potentially.

I could see a lot of teams trying to steal the other Mann away

Who does this if they want to be a coach? That doesn’t really make Sense

 

[SensHulk]

Pure speculation on my part, but I get the feeling DJ will be feeling the pressure to start strong or else Capuano/Mann will replace him before the season is gets too old.

good signing either way. I’m a fan of Troy Mann

Someone who wants a good paying longer term job with experience towards running a NHL team

Troy Mann has been coaching for years. He’s not going to suddenly not be a coach IMO

Depends if Dorion said I am moving over to president in three years we want your brother to GM and you to be his assistant GM do you think he would say no to moving away from coaching to management training? I think he might find that interesting and a good path to take.
Let’s face it his contract was up and not one team in the NHL wanted him for part of their coaching staff.

Wait what? Why on earth is that even being considered? Honestly, I can't think of a coach that suddenly opted to change streams and stop coaching aside from head coaches that become GMs (not common these days but back in the day guys like Murray, Martin, Quinn and Sutter did).

Are there any recent examples of a coach switching over to a position like Director of player development? Is this a thing that I've just missed because it's typically done by lower profile guys or something...

Yes I don’t think he would take that, and why would the sens offer that to him? He has no experience in that kind of position.

and yeah I do think people are overvaluing his nhl prospects for sure

Because the Mann’s seem to be good hockey people with a fair bit of respect and seem to not mind working for the sens. Finding them good positions and good jobs is probably in the best interest of both parties

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Good stuff.

 

[Sensinitis]

Dope!

 

[SpezDispenser]

Fantastic!

We dont ever agree on much ,but this absolutely seems like a great idea

 

[aragorn]

I think he is destined to be an AC in the NHL by the end of this contract, hopefully here.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Excellent news, there's been worry on the board about his future in the past few days. He's been great for the org.

 

[Samboni]

Good news indeed.
