I mean if Joel Quenneville's or Mike Babcock's name are circulating, nothing is off limits. The NHL has kept the whole Valeri Nichuskin thing quiet. Just par for the course with the NHL.

Dont' see Quenville or Babcock either. Babcock just seems to be a bit of a tyrant, and Quenville seems to be toxic as well. He might of just got a bad wrap, but if he knew anything and didn't help Beach....he should be out for good, as well.

IK..if you say so. Havent really looked too much into it. Kind of a crazy story

Anyone see Brunette DWI video.?...not the best look. That alone will keep him from getting a look
- rrentz

I know Jim Montgomery had trouble with booze too didn’t he? I know society never forgives anymore tho. If Brunette wasn’t employed I’d say it’s probably not a likely hire. But it doesn’t seem to have been a negative topic. I had no idea until you said it and I googled.

I'm over-generalizing a bit...but he effectively just swept it under the rug because the Hawks were in the middle of a playoff run and he didn't want to deal with it

Q has been dismissed as a possibility anyway

Society did forgive Montgomery. He had a problem. Took responsibility for it and got help. Andrew Brunette tried to big Richard his way out of DUI. Brunette also wasn't punished as he still has job.

Brunette literally has a job as we speak. No one cared about his dwi

Problem is if you dig deep enough everyone has a skeleton in the closet somewhere.

Who do you want? You got your wish so I’d expect an answer from you

That’s what I mean. Maybe it isn’t a big deal. Guys get drunk and act stupid sometimes lol

We should hire someone who can beat the devils imo get an inside guy

Ok, that doesn't many sense. But again, Brunette has a job. He has not been vilified or canceled. So what's the problem? Montgomery's situation was also unique, because he recognized on his own that he had a problem. Montgomery was given another chance, and show'd he's a decent to good coach. That's just the facts.

I think he just wants to know who you want as coach

Point is no one should be hired based on previous errors in judgment so before you know it you hire an usher who sells hotdogs as HC

At this point, just give me the funniest option. It's whatever. I have no control over it.

Correct

You too…You both wanted him gone who is the answer now? Knoblauch?

The draft lottery is tomorrow.

Ducks are 1, Jackets are 2, Hawks are 3 to win it.

I have a feeling either the Hawks, Canadiens or Red Wings win the Bedard sweeps. I expect all these teams to move up. I dont expect the Ducks and especially not the Jackets to get Bedard.

Dont forget us at 4th overall!

I think the coach is secondary to adding some speedy players. We could get Scotty Bowman in the redwings heyday but it won’t matter much if we’re too slow

Knoblauch seems like a great option

It theyre insistent on recycling an nhl coach, which I hate, I’d say bruuuuuce

Gimme the bond villain of Guy Boucher. Not because I think he's good, but I want to see him stare a hole through Larry Brooks.

Yea I’m kind of with you. I could live with Knoblauch because it’s not a retread. Although, Laviolette I think is still a viable guy. Him or Boudreau would be the lesser of the evils that way

Imagine it’s Keenan

One other name who i think will be an under the radar hire is Jay Leach. Love what he is doing in Seattle as an assistant coach.
