hatedkid666 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 He will be around for the next couple of tough years and will develop the players. Then we will hire a veteran coach who knows how to win and he will get all the credit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really true. Guy Boucher took Tampa Bay out of the gutter. Jack Capuano had the same effect on NYI. Gerrard Gallant got FLA out of second last place and into the playoffs. With the exception of STL, the teams you've quoted also have a more important denominating factor: McDavid, Mathews, Kane, Doughty... superstar top 5 picks. I'm not saying Green is the guy, but there isn't "one way" to rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rattler Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 He wouldn't be my first choice to coach, but at this stage it really doesn't matter. The team needs a few more pieces. A top pick this year and perhaps Svechnikov or Dahlin next year. By then we'll know if Travis is the right guy or not. It would be nice to end up with Nico or Nolan, and then Svechnikov or Dahlin next year. Then hopefully Quenville gets fired, and we are good to go for the next 10 years.

I personally don't care about what is earned or fair. I care about who is most qualified to run this team. I don't know about you but I'm getting tired of watching our coaches get out coached on a nightly basis. Not saying Green will be, I just don't like the idea of yet another rookie coach, leading a bunch of rookies players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for this management team he probably is the best choice, but I'm kind of tired of a management team of rookies who continue to make mistakes and learn as they go. This team can't afford a learn on the fly executive staff, we aren't good enough for that. nobody can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't great either, but he's not anywhere close to the reason why this team didn't finish out of the bottom 5 Never said he was. But he made some stupid decisions and had some even stupider explanations. He did a terrible job with an already terrible roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallstreetamigo Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Just doesn't make sense to go with another rookie coach who coaches exactly the same and has the same weakness for veteran players that the last coach had. I will be shocked if we don't see exactly what we have seen the past few years. Canucks are a train wreck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Green fails it will have been Trevor's second strike out .( if this is Trevor choice) Green is probably close to good as it gets with the current group and where the team is going now.There may still be 2 more years of dipping in standings to 30 th .I doubt Vegas will let 31 go for next three or four years.

Warhippy Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 PLEASE let this mean they're hiring either Coach Smith from Kelowna or Coach Harbinson from Penticton for the Comets. I've never seen two coaches get so much from so little for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
