tas Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 that's a helluva short leash. I could see gallant in minny ... boudreau's welcome should be just about warn out by now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems unnecessary for him to go the assistant route. He is still under contract another year. I can see Seattle being the front runner myself but I've always like Gallant and I think him and Green would make a solid coaching tandem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then put out this part of the statement "They were both instrumental to the success we have enjoyed in our first two-plus seasons " So gas two instrumental pieces of your past and current success. Weird. It is surprising. It's a veteran team though and they have been inconsistent. The Pacific has been weak and their roster was improved by adding Stone and Pacioretty yet they are not distancing themselves from the average.

If they are interested and wait - he might no longer be available. They said no further coaching changes, Bowness for the year.

rekker Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Gallant is a great coach and would take him over Green. This is reminding me of when we hired AV. We dragged our butts getting AV and missed out on Quenville. I very much liked AV but one has to wonder if 2011 goes differently with Quenville at the helm. I'm sure Green doesn't get canned for Gallant but I do feel we are missing out again on the better coach. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet Pac and Stone are leading the team in scoring. I wonder if some of the better coaching contenders will just say no to a Vegas deal and try an organization with a bit more patience?

Gallant has been fired twice now for underachieving with much better rosters than ours. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Roger Neilsons Towel Posted January 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2020 I predict Gallant will be named the coach of the Seattle Expansion Franchise. He was able to have success out of the gate with the Las Vegas Expansion Franchise and I’m guessing Seattle will hope he can do the same for them. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I don’t think Gallant will coach this year anyway the issue is 4 teams at least will be chasing him I hope we get in and if we do I am ok with Green but frankly these first few games back at home will tell if we are going to make it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a really good coach, and keep him. Move the players, who are not performing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but it’s a band-aid on a Clint Malarchuk level of bleed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
