Mr.wiskers Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I understand what you?re saying but interviewing someone and actually hiring someone is two different things. If this is Gortons show I don?t think he?s gonna hire someone who gonna get him fired i.e. someone who doesn?t have coaching experience. That?s my gut instinct. I?m thinking it?ll be Dan Bylsma. But if it?s me making the decision I would go with JJ Daignault or Sheldon Keefe.

Puck Head Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I mean someone who has coached before. Do you really think Gorton and company is gonna hang their hat, put their careers/jobs on the line by hiring a coach with zero coaching experience. BTW: with all those draft picks. Would you guys offer sheet William Nylander?it may cost a 1st, 2nd & 3rd Rd pick to get him. Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk IMO Nylander is worth the picks. It?s rare to have a player that young and that productive. That being said, offer sheets are rare for a reason (unwritten code), and we?d have to over pay to to steal him from the Leafs Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Gorton should be the next one to go. So, he won a cup. Why isn't he still there if he is so brilliant? AV should have been kept not Gorton. Let's see how he does with 10 picks in the June draft (more if he trades 36, 13 and 20. He was a loser from day one.Lamoriello won Cups with Devils...Shero won them with Pittsburgh...they're no longer with those teams. They must be shit GMs, too.

Ozzy Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Well, My prayers have finally been answered. I've beaten the absolute piss out of this guy and his staff for years now and I'm not going to trample the man now that he's gone. Gonna take the high road here and wish him the best wherever he lands. I'm glad to see the organization sees it this way, and these kids are going to have a fresh start with a new philosophy. It's a happy day for me, and that's all I needed to say. I can now look forward to next season with quite a bit of hope and once more ROOT for the team I absolutely missed rooting for this year....and the last few years. I have no clue who'll they'll get, but I trust Gorton to do the right thing. He's been pretty good so far with the trades we made in my eyes and I think we'll be very good in the draft. Today I love the Rangers again, and I'm wearing my logo hat in the office for the first time in 3 years!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew a Penalty Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I'd imagine he'd wait for all of the seasons to be over first to start interviewing candidates. There's no rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Yup. Especially AHL playoffs, and even NHL playoffs. This may not happen until June. Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Or even later. That depends on what Gorton has planned for the draft and whether he wants a coach with any sort of input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torontonyr Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 The real question is: how long until people start suggesting Messier for the job? :bravery: He's ineligible according to Gorts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long live the King Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Arniel has been let go. Ruff is being considered for the head coach. Soo.. there's one official candidate.

torontonyr Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 That's not what he [Gorton] said. He is going to meet with Ruff before he announces to the media that Ruff has been let go. My understanding was to see if he's considering the position or if it's a fit. Perhaps I'm incorrect but I didn't read it as "it's a formality but I don't want to announce it until it's formal". https://twitter.com/NYRangers/status/983360608266604544?s=19 So, in my mind, if you're seeing if someone is a fit to replace your coach - you're considering them and they're at very least a potential candidate. At that point we're splitting hairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonGecko Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I think Gorton is going to go hard for Sheldon Keefe. It's only going to be a question of if the Leafs give him up or lock him down and if some other team swoops in. Will be interesting to see who gets fired this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 The Leafs have no reason to step in his way. If NHL teams are knocking, and they would be right to, they'd be total assholes to prevent his interviewing knowing he has years of Babcock to wait out for any shot at the Leafs' coaching gig.

ThirtyONE Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Bill Peters or O'Keefe or a name that I've brought up before but haven't seen anywhere else is Eakins -- I think he got an unfair shake in Edmonton. Those are the names that excite me the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
