Blue Heaven Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Dammit, why did TOR have to let Lou go? I really wanted to see JT leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddynyc Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Does Lou now sign Sheldon Keefe as the new coach ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Falco Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Dammit, why did TOR have to let Lou go? I really wanted to see JT leave. What makes you think he's not? He was apparently a big fan of Weight as a coach.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 And the Isles never had a good offense except for Barzal and Tavares. Weight was more a defensive coach and didn't take the team far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sod16 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 The politics of the coaching choice and how it dovetails with JT are interesting. Do they give Tavares a veto on the coach only to have him walk anyway? Is there some kind of de facto package deal where JT gets a coach he likes and signs? There is a saying that all politicians lives end in failure, and I think the same might be said of GMs. Lou is a great hockey guy, but one who is due to fail.

Vodka Drunkenski Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Wonder if this is why Rangers jumped on Quinn instead of waiting for Keefe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddious Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Smartest decision this franchise has made in a while. Can?t believe Snow kept his job for 12 years. Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Lou's gonna go hard after a goalie. He's got back-to-back 1sts to get it done. Not sure who's available. I don't see any Freddy Andersson situations around the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Lots of conflicting data. On one hand, some media insist Lamoriello doesn't make this move without running it past Tavares. And others are saying Tavares was wedded to Weight.Nobody knows shit except Tavares himself.And between now and July 1st that could change several times before then.

Pete Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I'd rather have had Weight than Quinn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giacomin Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I fear Lou brings Hunter in after the draft, but gets consulted prior. They'll draft the best guys remaining at 11 and 12 and sign Bernier and find a good backup. May take a while to fix that D though. Lou raping Toronto of Keefe would kinda suck.

Gravesy Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Why the fuck would Trotz be interested? lol Well, he might feel that the Caps showed no loyalty to him and he obviously knows that the only way he was getting a new contract was to win the cup. He would almost certainly not have been offered a new deal had they gone down to the Jackets/Pens and quite likely even in the ECF. The Caps obviously sat on the fence on the new deal so maybe he tells them to fuck off with the cup in his hands. Or maybe not. My first thought was that Lamoriello would go after Keefe. But there are a few names out there you could imagine he'd look at. Stevens, Bylsma and Tippet comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the idea that he'd leave a Cup winner (assuming) and then go to a rebuilder seems ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravesy Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 It does. Depends how he feels about the Caps fucking him around on the new contract. To be fair I’m not even sure that’s what’s happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giacomin Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Right now Trotsky is feeling pretty good and pretty Russian. like an Oligarch even. :devil: His team loves him, the city and if he wins 1 more, so will mgmt. He'll be naming his price. His contract negotiation should be fun times for him, if the Caps can close the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they did. I think they just said something along the lines of "we'll evaluate after the playoffs." I guess a coach could take that as being messed around with, but it's not like pinning a next contract to playoff success is that much of a reach.

AliveIn94 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 And the Isles never had a good offense except for Barzal and Tavares. Weight was more a defensive coach and didn't take the team far.Andrew Ladd had close to forty goals too. Other than that, yeah.
