And really what coach wants the Habs of next year on his resume?? Terrible offensively, porous D and a borderline average goaltender.

Hello first overall.

good point, whoever is coach next year will be a 1 year scapegoat anyways, so maybe Randy is still an option.

Ron Wilson is the man for the job. He's got plenty of experience with average goaltending, porous D and a 1 line offence.

Well played Marty...............well played indeed.

Cunny is dunny...

I wouldn't mind Vigneault.

He won't be leaving Vancouver. If he hasn't been canned it's not going to happen.

Unless the new coach wants him as an assistant.

Bergevin will take a look at the list of candidates and promptly resign.

Fixed

Not sure if you're serious, but I liked Carbonneau.

They should have let Cunneyworth keep coaching, until a proper coach like AV or Quenneville becomes available.

But next year is a wash anyways, so why put such a terrible year on a french coaches resume, let Cunney take another fall.

Not a terrible idea, especially considering that the teams sucks anyway.

Not sure of the cap implications.

I doubt it, all these coaches come with their own cronies.

The problem is that I highly doubt Bergevin's "guy" is available right now. That means you either hire a lame duck coach, or risk missing out on your guy when he becomes available. If the new coach comes out and inspires the team to a great start, how do you fire him if say someone like AV has a poor start next season.

I need a good location for this account and you guys are boring me.

strike tennisball off the list for capologists.

Nashville Pradators forwards Alexander Radulov and Andrei Kostitsyn will miss their second straight game tonight when the Predators host the Phoenix Coyotes in Game 4 of their Western Conference semifinal series.

If he wasn't so dull, he'd get more respect.

Then again, there are some very capable assistant coaches around the league, he owes it to himself to explore every avenue, not just wait for a big name to get fired.

I get it, but that capable assistant must be bilingual. That certainly shortens the list. The best candidate right now without looking at language would probably be MacT. You guys would love him too cuz he's a great quote.

I hear you, but I can't see them hiring a (frank)ing plug of a coach just because he speaks french...
