Who could be our new coach?

[surixon]

Reports he’s already being paid like a NHL coach so money isn’t a factor. Who knows if he would jump or not.

He won't wait around for that job forever. If the Leafs go on a run Babs won't be going anywhere.

He might also see our roster as more attractive going forward with more cap flexibility as well.

Wasn’t he in the running for the Sabres HC job at one point?

Not sure

I don't think Dale would be a good option to jump in here.

Quenneville wore out his welcome in Chicago. All of the Maurice criticisms would apply to him as well. Trotz would be good but I think firing a coach because another became suddenly available would be unprecedented in the NHL.

The real answer to this thread's question would be: it depends who is around if and when Maurice is fired. Right now, none of the unemployed candidates really move the needle, and the team isn't in a rebuild mode where a new coach could gain experience.

If Maurice goes midseason, it's Vincent as the new coach.

As in 'Vincent Damphousse'? Is he coaching?

Pascal Vincent

I'd try out Dale especially if buff doesn't come back then screw it its a rebuild year hope for a high draft pick and let ducky get a feel for his position. I'd rather do that then squeak in the playoffs to enjoy a first round exit.

I can't tell the difference. Can you tell the difference?

Hawerchuk is sick and can't coach

Hawerchuk is sick and can't coach

Not to mention that he is a little old to be a rookie NHL coach, and he hasn't done the apprpriate apprenticeship to become an NHL HC. And also not to mention that he has shown exactly zero interest in coaching in the NHL.

Whatever their fates may be, Paul and Bruce gave us two of the best hockey GIFs and for that I am grateful

Pascal Vincent should be on the hot seat in terms of continuing as the Moose head coach, not in consideration for a promotion to the NHL.... in my opinion.

I agree. He was on the hot seat in the first half of last year if you remember.
