I love the guy but I don't think so. He's done a lot with what he had to work with but I don't think he's done Adam's quality work. Perhaps if they were 1st or 2nd in the conference...

i ask only because of the turnaround, kind of two different seasons as it were. coupled with a lot of dead wood, various injuries to key players all season long, a severely average d corps, not to mention being a rookie straight outa' college....

i'm sure he won't win, but he's done a great job overall.

serious question: does he get legitimate consideration for the adams trophy?

Galant, Trotz, Ruff, Sutter... Pick 3 of the 4 as finalists.

I'd even put Hitch and Boudreau above Hak.

All legitimate reasons, but while what we know he did is fantastic, to the rest of the world he's taken a probably non-playoff team and turned it into a possible playoff team. In the grand scheme of things that's just a "big woop" kind of thing.
