Sharpshooter Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 LOL Sorry, just paranoid some good coaches will go by the wayside for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooksBurner Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Stop screwing around and hire him or someone. It's bad enough they still had Quinn around when Laviolette and Quenneville were available. Don't wait for the possibility of more coaches being available where there are good ones out there right now. Good point. Teams risk the same thing with free agents sometimes, especially big ticket ones. As they wait, others get signed, which makes not landing the main target hurt even more. It does feel like there's enough high quality options here to just wait though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I just feel like this is a name that gets kicked around here every year. Laviolette is fine but he failed pretty miserably this year. His teams declined in Nashville. I don't know why he's any more due to win than any of these other names. Well Kuznetsov not being a regular didn't help. The team was carried by Backstrom, Ovi and Oshie. They weren't particularly deep and ran into a Boston team that has been dominant since they brought in Hall. Just a fan of how his teams play and feel like he's run into some bad luck lately. He seems to get the best out of all types of players. Young, old, one dimensional, gritty, wimpy... It's not like he's never won a cup. I totally forgot he won in Carolina. His resume is certainly better than all available besides Torts.. LOL Why the fuck NOT Laviolette?

What other jobs available top the Rangers gig? Who's picking Seattle over NY? I think the Rangers have the ball in their court this time around. Seems like they have already beaten most teams to the punch for interviews, with Gallant and Tocchet already strolling through. Did they interview anywhere else? Maybe Edmonton is a destination that's appealing, but it may also be somewhere where nobody wants to go.. Its Edmonton.. I think everyone is actually waiting on the Rangers to make their hire.

Pete Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I just don't want them to really miss out on a good candidate. Who else is hiring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.wiskers Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Columbus, Seattle, Buffalo, Phoenix, us, Florida ( if the rumor is true that Quenniville wants out) and Carlolina ( if Brind’amour decides not to re-sign).

Oh, and probably someone who has relationship connections to the current SEA front office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Al Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Rick Tocchet interviewed for the New York Rangers vacant coaching position today. Also hearing that he will interview for the Buffalo Sabres' job on Thursday, and likely for the Columbus Blue Jackets' job at some point this week.

I'd think thev1st point is moot. What established coach is going to put up with meddling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk If Quenneville wants out, that's the guy I really would like. I think we missed out on him the first time when we hired Quinn. I would go with: 1. Quenneville 2. Brind'amour 3. Tocchet Any one of those 3 and I'll be a happy camper!

I'd go: Brind'Amour (most likely not leaving Carolina but the i's haven't been dotted yet, and t's haven't been crossed.....so they're is still a chance) Quenneville Gallant (article in the athletic swayed me) Sullivan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.wiskers Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 It’s irrelevant, but if I’m Florida I’d want compensation for Quennville, he’s got 3 yrs remaining on his contract.

Mr.wiskers Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 True, but if he does decide to sit out the remainder of his contract that he won’t be in the league for 3 yrs., that’s why I said if I’m Florida I’d want compensation.

ThirtyONE Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Why is this taking so long? What's the rush? The first round isn't even over yet. Could be a few more firings. Also they have something like 6-8 candidates. It takes a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddious Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Why is this taking so long? Gallant is coaching in the world champs. Quenville is still employed. I don’t think Babcock is going anywhere or torts for that matter.
