Speculation: Who takes over? (New Coaching Search Thread)

[Hello Johnny]

I'd venture to guess there are more people that feel the way I do, than side with you.

I guess there goes my goal of running an NHL team :/

Well, there WAS a thing called COVID which cut significantly into the profit margin and attendance

Pretty strange we were the only team affected so much we couldn't afford to fire a coach.

So which is it? First you said you'd take Larsen, then you you'd take the unknown and not Larsen.

Larsen is the unknown, in terms of NHL head coaching track record, as compared to Tocchet.

I think Torts being on an exporting contract may have played into it. Just my thoughts.

So basically we’re Gallant’s backup plan. And Larsen is ours

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

How on earth is Larsen the front runner and Gallant the backup plan?

If Larsen is the guy they want just sh*t and get off the pot already. It's not like he has other options right now or other teams wanting him. What could possibly be the holdup?

I think it's the other way around. We're waiting on Gallant who's (probably) not going to come here. Once he goes somewhere else, we're hiring Larsen.

Callback to when Guy Boucher was definitely, totally, 100% going to be the new coach.
