Proposal: Who do you want as the head coach?

[Habsrule]

Habs fan coming in peace. Who are the best available coaches?

Eakins---coached the Marlies
Deboer---long history with Spott
Boucher---should be coaching in the NHL
Tortorella---this would be a gong show

Who else?

Horachek is fine for the year. No need to rush a coaching decision. If they want someone else for a bit I would lean Boucher from your list.

 

[AustonMitchWilly]

Babcock at the end of the year? I wish we still had Maurice though

 

[Habsrule]

I forgot to mention Bylsma but he is more of an offensive coach. Not what the Leafs need.

 

[noto0661]

Dallas Eakins.

If not Babcock, then him.

 

[sens4life]

Paul MacLean....for the sheer entertainment value....

 

[WilliamNylander]

Todd McClellan!

 

[Bullseye]

Benoit Groulx

 

[mashedpotato]

I'll coach this team.

 

[bobber]

Dependable Wendel

Nobody until the assesment of the core has been completed.
It's no good to bring yet another person in over Horachek/Spott if the same problems now exist. First the coach was judged, now the core.

I would want Boucher or Bylsma... We need a coach that lets us play to our strengths... Offense and speed... We also really need to improve our puck movement especially on the breakouts.

 

[LeafsFIO*]

Benoit Groulx or Dale Hunter

 

[Teeder9]

I imagine Deboer will be named coach by the end of the week. If not him then Horachek for the rest of the season. Don't want Spott

 

[Masked Superstar]

Burns

 

[Masked Superstar]

2nd choice is Dale Hunter

 

[Suntouchable13]

I know who I don't want. Peter DeBoer. He will just play Clarkson more. **** that!

Oh, and no to Eakins as well. He shouldn't be considered for any head coaching job in the NHL for another few years, at least.

 

[FirewagonChange]

Dan Bylsma. He's offensive so is team. Leafs need a coach that plays to teams strength.

 

[ap3lovr]

Geoff Ward from Adler Mannheim would be my suggestion. He has experience working with Kessel when he was younger. He is a very smart hockey man and a team would be lucky to have him as their head coach. However looking at the Leafs moves this season. It might be completely off the board.

 

[I Believe]

Perfectly fine with Spott and Horachek for this year, they're probably my number one pick.

For next year, Babcock would be amazing but that's a pipe dream imo. Wouldn't mind Deboer as my 2nd choice.

 

[ConnorTO]

Ron Wilson

 

[Bernify]

Dan Bylsma. He's offensive so is team. Leafs need a coach that plays to teams strength.

This. I am tired of pretending to play defense, let's just try to win every game 7-6. It may actually work better for us in all seriousness.

Ron Wilson

Came here to post this lol!

 

[yakfish]

Babcock would be awesome but very doubtful. I would be happy with Boucher

 

[Gary Batman]

Babcock or bust (which is Eakins).
