It's Gerard Gallant and it's not even close. Florida really messed up with Vegas. Not only did Florida give VGK Jonathan Marchessault and Reilly Smith for free but they also gave them one of the best coaches in the game in Gallant! Gallant should never have been fired by the Panthers. Florida could have been in the playoffs this year, honestly, had they not lost there minds two years ago.

 

That said, Bednar deserves a ton of credit too for the turnaround in Colorado. He looked like a dead man walking coming in this season but has managed to turn things around amazingly.

 

I'm sure in a year or two Travis Green will be one of the nominees once the Canucks are finally back in the playoffs.

Possibly but nothing they did is worse than Tallon trading a cumulative 135 points (Smith and Marchessault) to protect Petrovic. Florida just needs to clean house, what a disaster..

Tallon did that because ownership was too cheap to pay Smith.  They're not Melnyk, but they aren't good either.

If so he should have gotten better value back. Tallon has always been a disaster, when they had the money he shot himself in the foot with that Bolland contract. Then he traded Crouse (terrible pick considering who was left on board) just to get rid of Bolland.

I could be wrong but hadn't the Sens made money in the not too distant past (ie., arena attendance).  The Panthers I don't think are in the same financial situation.  Soon as the Sens started to lose money, the problems began didn't they?

Tallon made a bit of a mess with that RFA fiasco when he was the GM of the Black Hawks.  Chicago was VERY lucky they were able to get out of that possible HUGE mistake.

vegas management group has been outstanding

mcphee is the top gm

gallant is the best coach

 

Gallant, yes. McPhee, not sold. Trade deadline was quite poor and more of a real indictor of the work he will do in a normal GM situation vs a situation where he had most teams bent over.

Move the house to Quebec City is the best solution!

lol. so true. Florida was doing real well and then those analytics weenies came along and they fell on their faces.

 

Gallant wins. No one in the past has done what he has done this year. Sure he was given a good roster to work with but it's hard to get the most out of the players and getting them to work together.

 

Under Gallant, many players have had a career year or a revival year of some sort.
