He's been passed over by more teams than those that have/wanted to interview him.

I wish him well. But my god is he an over rated coach.

We find common ground occasionally. Hes a little like me in that hes hardened to his opinions.

I never doubted he had a source. I always doubted how much information his source really gave him. He seemed to always not be around for the big stuff that happened. Was able to tip us off on the smaller things, or stuff that had already been rumored for a while and even then, only one time had exact details.

Yeah I hear what your saying, always appreciated his insider info that he did have though he obviously knew someone in the organization.

Teams put feelers out before official interviews. They have an idea of what he's about and what kind of autonomy he is looking before before they even make a decision to interview the guy. It could be because they think he's a lost cause. Again, he's getting paid, and getting paid well. He holds all the cards.

Lindy is an old school coach. He never was a "nurture" coach. He jumped straight to coaching in the NHL as an assistant. Never really had true development tasks. Things are different now than when he played. Its obvious his voice has been tuned out for the better part of the past 6 years.

I find it hard to believe his insider was one of the assistant coaches. Don't get me wrong I started buying into his info after he proved himself right several times but I don't get how an assistant coach would be so keyed into that kind of info.

Never adapted or fixed things either. With the exception of a few of the 16 years..

Had a below average PP
Horrible goalie management
Had annual long stretches where his teams played like they didn't care
Whined to the media
Rarely stuck up for his players
Buried guys in the AHL while dressing guys like Mair,Ellis, Taylor, Peters etc

He IMO rarely had teams that overachieved

I know this organization is more messed up than I thought, and I thought it was pretty messed up.

Too early to talk about draft, coach hirings, compliance buyouts and free agency.
