Fitz slow playing the coaching market like the goalie market

Fitz Van Winkle?

 

[Goptor]

k

So They're determining which coach gets the 3rd level basement office?

 

[BurntToast]

Sooooo, they aren’t deep in the process at all..

They are still deciding on a coach..

 

[Emperoreddy]

I'll say Keefe is the guy by Wednesday.

Still going to ask the question tomorrow.

I hope it's Woodcroft. Keefe has a bad playoff reputation. A great regular season coach but has been unable to prove anything. Lindy Ruff accomplished just as much as him in the playoffs with us. I would rather a man who has won multiple rounds.

he actually proved a ton to me these past playoffs. Toronto was much better than Boston was in that series. He got that decrepit D corps to play really structured hockey after the first few games.

The only reason Boston won that series was because of the goaltending. If the goalies were swapped, Toronto wins probably in 5 or 6.

You are wrong. @Cheddabombs is our guy everyday. Ask tomorrow and the answer is still the same.

Idk how reliable

 

[Forge]

Idk how reliable

Seems weird to have a verbal agreement but still not know if he wants to coach lol

Maybe he said he wants to but he has to talk it over with his wife after the fishbowl in Toronto?

 

[Mgd31]

Who the hell is that guy?

 

[Emperoreddy]

Looks like a twitter boob to me

 

[MadDevil]

Shame if it's not Woodcroft...



Just imagine the Genucel commercials.

 

[BurntToast]

Umm, the Devils’ still need an associate coach?

Who’s to say it’s not Keefe and Woodcroft? The only other team linked to Woodcroft was the Sharks and that’s because of their connection. I haven’t see any rumors that he actually interviewed.

Would fall in the line of the devils M.O. as of late, hiring an ex nhl head coach as an assistant so they can use it as a stepping stone back into coaching.

Woodcroft would prob do wonders for the PP

No assistants have been fired yet have they ?

Twitter boobs? Back in my day, we had the Spice channel!

Seems legit.

No one has been fired but we are technically down two coaches with Ruff being fired and Green moving on

 

[Devilsgrl35]

Seems legit.

That's why it's taking so long. He's traveling old school by sailing from Canada to New Jersey. Makes sense now.

 

[Guadana]

They may lose Pesce and Skjei and both would be a tough loss.

I think they will save at least one. If they don't it will be tough. May be even Slavin will want to taste the market after. If we are trying to dark it more.

 

[Guadana]

Good thing Travis Green isn't still available and other team (with a bunch of IDIOTS working for/owning them) hired him before anyone (save for Lindy lol) else filled their vacancies.

I can imagine sweating right now if he were still hanging around, while we still sat here with a head coaching vacancy. At least he can't be a backup plan for us if we can't land a guy we really want.

Fitz should hurry. There us s little chance sens will fire Green before the season even started.

 

[Killing Joke]

Seems legit.

Matt is just having fun mocking Weekes lol. I'm in a discord with him. Alex who was shared above as well is too. Someone in there also heard Keefe before Alex said anything. So, there has to be some fire with that smoke.

I don't think any of the assistants have been officially fired yet.

Here's a question that I have. Has Buffalo hired any assistants? Because Ruff didn't rule out poaching someone from the Devils coaching roster. I'm thinking Chris Taylor is the obvious. He's almost definitely gone.

With Green now gone to Ottawa, we still have McGill, Sarge and Taylor (and Rogalski who doesn't seem to be going anywhere). Taylor seems like a lock to be gone, whether it's Lindy poaching him away for his staff in Buffalo or us just cutting ties and replacing him with an assistant picked by the new incoming head coaching.

McGill is a maybe. I think Sarge stays.
