Gonna be real kick to your nuts when Drury hires his top choice...

If they hire him and don't even give Roy a meeting, I'm gonna be pissed off

No I'm just being a Richard. I think (Hope) the group is right, that because they wait so long that they want Roy. But I also don't trust Chris Drury's unearned arrogance since he's been a Ranger. So there is that.

Is everyone writing off Jay Leach since he'd be a first time head coach/would have been hired already if he was the guy they liked?

If Kris Knoblauch can't get job after paying his dues here, I'd say there is 0% Leach gets the job. Also I question his decision making after he divorced Kathryn Tappen.

Yea Drury hand picked Knoblauch to be the Hartford coach. If he isn’t getting the job it shows Upper management doesn’t want a first time coach. Otherwise I think he would have been hired already due to his success in the organization

I need to see reports that the rangers are meeting with Roy before I have any hope he is the guy

Still think we will just randomly find out Lavy got hired at some point soon. Hopefully not though

If I understand it correctly, trying to have a conversation with Roy before the end of the CHL season would be some sort of illegal poaching situation.

I believe you, but that's a pretty stupid. I could see if he was still under contract with the Avs.

I disagree. You have to remember the symbiotic relationship between the NHL and the CHL. About 45% of the draftees still come from up here, so they can't just let the NHL strip out coaches (or otherwise AHL-eligible players) without there being a real danger of watering down the Canadian Junior leagues, which would eventually water down the NHL product.
...IMHO.

I do, and I'm fine with the CHL player transfer agreement. Guys like Crosby, Mcdavid and Bedard are big money makers for their teams. Coaches are a different story.

Who helps those players develop into money makers? Giving coaches free reign to jump ship to the bigs mid-season won't help anyone long term.

I had that when I was a baby and I turned out like this so good luck.


(In all seriousness I'm sure everything will be OK.)

Almost everyone in that echelon is a hack. Prove me wrong.

I want our baby to be a minion for Halloween and I told my wife we could make him jaundice so he could accomplish it through method acting.

This is going to be a good decision and I believe he’ll be hired. He’s coached teenagers for like 7 years now, he literally just won their big trophy, and we have oodles of kids for him to coach into success.

I think we should all be excited if they get Roy

Congrats on the baby pickle!!
