If they fire Ruff in-season, after letting Brunette walk...
I'd be pissed off, to put it mildly.
It ain't happening.
We should have told Brunette he was the next head coach here effective 2024-2025 and gave Lindy one more year.
We may have done that and he said “Nah bro, Nashville wants me to be head coach NOW! See ya!”.
Green would be the worst head coach we’ve had since Herb Brooks or possibly Constantine. Even worse than Brent Sutter and he really sucked.
Notice I left out MacLean, because he’s not just the worst head coach the Devils have ever had. He’s the worst coach in the history of hockey.
Travis Green is terrible. I don’t know why there were so many boners for this guy when the Canucks almost let him walk in 2021. Talk of Seattle hiring him as their first head coach.
Of course he only lasted about a month or so into that deal.
