Chuck Fletcher

 

[jetsforever]

Scheif

 

[Mandar]

For the Rangers it will definitely be the Bread Man….

 

[CupInSIX]

Reilly Smith

 

[The Marquis]

Kraken special teams coaching

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Canucks: Jim Elmer Benning.
Until further notice.

Chuck Fletcher

Flyers fans will be able to use this as an excuse, legitimately, for at least 5-6 seasons probably, starting this year. Buckle up boys, gonna be a long road back.

I'm talking about the Wild, who have Parise and Suter's cap hits through 2029. At least after 2025, it goes from 15 million in wasted money to less than 2. Can't blame any Flyers fans who feel the same way though. Hey, he seems like a nice guy.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

Based on our luck with UFA signings, Soucey/Cole could well turn into the next Poolman/Stillman and Blueger/Suter could well turn into the next Lazar/Dickinson.

Or, Hronek could turn out to be an injury-riddled failure.

The field is wide open!

 

[Kamus]

Nurse…. Due to the contract the GM gave him.

Note: I think nurse is a good dman

 

[Choralone]

Todd MacLellan and Rob Blake

 

[crazyfisherman]

Kadri then markstrom probably. I dont think ive ever disliked a flame as much as kadri, that shitty effort he gave down the strtch of a playoff run was actually disgusting.

 

[Ezekial]

Will hard to take Chiarot's spot as whipping boy in chief.

 

[Melrose Munch]

Mike Babcock.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Will hard to take Chiarot's spot as whipping boy in chief.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. With all the new signings though there could be a surprise candidate.

 

[Seanaconda]

Oilers ? Hmmm from history it could be any offensively gifted player that is slightly weak on defense we will regret running out of town.

 

[Givememoneyback]

Given where fans were slotting him into the lineup after he signed with the Panthers, I'll nominate Rodriguez.

Ekblad is always an option, but he'll be out for a while.

 

[Oddbob]

On the Wings forum, it will always be spacegoat, not scapegoat.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

My team will suck, but I think it's been either Vlasic or Couture for the last several years. Couture probably because he's the Captain.

 

[DaveG]

The refs

For the Twitter part of the fanbase probably TDA even if he goes +30 with 50+ points again

 

[Satoru Gojo]

DJ Smith

 

[Ezekial]

Yeah that's what I was thinking. With all the new signings though there could be a surprise candidate.

Almost mentioned Compher.

 

[Oddbob]

Will hard to take Chiarot's spot as whipping boy in chief.

They will have to bring their E- game to trump him!

Canucks: Jim Elmer Benning.
Until further notice.

Yeah. I think Benning is pretty locked in as the Canucks permanent scapegoat for a long time to come.


In terms of specific players...Probably still Myers, Boeser is a likely candidate, the new UFA signings could all end up there, as could Hronek because of the price paid for him. I think Pius Suter is probably safe for the most part, because he's got that nice JFresh card or whatever, so even if he sucks...a lot of fans will probably turn a blind eye to it and put them blame on someone else.

 

[Dynamite Time]

Benn and Seguin of course along with Marchment and Suter depending on play, injuries, etc.
