For whatever it’s worth of course.

Anthony SanFilipino. The only guy that mentioned Hextall’s job may be in trouble days before it happened.

“Im hearing that part of the problem with Gord Murphy was that some of the young defensemen - especially Ivan Provorov - weren’t on the same page with him. I expect to see a different Provy and Ghost moving forward now that he’s gone.”

- flyer_nutter


With his firing today I did wonder if perhaps some of our defensemen were not feeling him. It’s just odd when our best pairing and dmen take steps backwards. Idk. But they both have struggled alone (Provy,Ghost). Especially after Provy claiming he’s healthy and all. Unless he was bluffing.

No. Fletcher is a piece of poop. Stay the hell away.

The article mentions some successful seasons. Far from. He continuously trotted out a team that everyone knew would never beat the powerhouses of the West.

The way he handled the expansion draft, and many of his trades were the failures. He sucks. Let him rot in jersey.

Same Nutter, want no parts of Fletcher and will be severely disappointed and depressed in he is the new GM. I mean seasons of mediocrity in Minnesota do not get me enthused at all and not sure why he would be top of the list either. Give me Hunter and I'd be happy.

I have a feeling it's going to be Ron Francis for some reason and I'm fine with it.

The saving grace is that Rutherford was thought to be a joke before Pittsburgh too.

This is just personal opinion but I’d be down for that Buffalo guy or Hunter. Yzerman the wet dream that’s unlikely to happen.

Fletcher and Hakstol/Yeo 2018. What a time to be alive lol.

For all the negativity, there is a chance it’s Yzerman and Quenville. None of us really know.

I would take Fletcher if that meant Q, but I am not a fan of Hunter, (frank) him and all his brothers.

This team is going to come out on fire on Saturday and score 8 goals. Mark my words.

But the pens will score 9. So there’s that.










and still lose 9-8.

Isn't Vilardi injured? I don't see Rassmussen leaving Detroit if he continues to play well. Thomas meh. Hayton over Frost...I guess if you want US to win.

Not what I would do or would I? GO USA!

- Glak18

Just passing along what I hear.

I’ll be in lock step with the US all tournament

I'm all in on Bill Zito. Not even sure if there is interest from either side, but he seems like a no bs guy. He was GM for Team USA and works with CBJ. Looks like he should be working for WWE. Could scare our pansy group into playing with heart.

I too am interested in what I have heard about Zito. He sounds like an intriguing choice. Fletcher sounds like a typical old guard retread, but to be honest, outside of Yzerman or Francis, I really know nothing about nearly all of these guys.

yzerman would be perfect but its most likely a pipe dream as smart money is him taking over in DET and money most likely isn't a motivator for him.
- wingz4life


Let's not forget that Yzerman and Giroux do not get along... (Team Canada BS, a few years ago)... Yzerman would trade Giroux the first chance he got.
