Recommended Posts

Google translation :

"The negotiations continue for the NHL teams that are looking for a new coach and our colleague François Gagnon learned that Jacques Martin would be considered a candidate to succeed Kirk Muller at the helm of the Carolina Hurricanes .

Last season, Martin was as an assistant to Dan Bylsma in Pittsburgh. The most recent experience of Martin as head coach in the NHL was completed in 2011-12 with the Canadiens.

As regards the position with the Florida Panthers, Marc Crawford would also be among the potential candidates in addition to Gerard Gallant, assistant to Michel Therrien.

Crawford did not run in the NHL since the 2010-11 season with the Dallas Stars."

Add Ron Wilson to the list as well.

Good keep them away from Desjardinds and Stevens, as I think they are the two best candidates for us.

I don't think many other teams will even be looking at Desjardins. He's off the radar and is only on our radar because of our new GM. Not saying he's a bad coach because he's not and I'd like to have him here but I just don't think he's high on other teams lists.

Interesting that it now seems that older and experienced coaches are being interviewed for openings. A couple of years ago it would have been hard to imagine Ron Wilson or Jacques Martin ever getting another shot.

I think what's happened in Montreal, Boston and LA has shown that old school coaches aren't necessarily as washed up as people once thought.

To my last tweet, Willie Desjardins will be an excellent NHL head coach one day. His teams thrive on puck possession & discipline.

  1. @DanWeissPBP I've heard nothing but dynamite things about that man the past month. That's exciting news

  2. @PaigeLewisFL You watch any Texas game his teams are exceptionally structured and tough to play against.

The more I hear about Willie, the more I like what I hear.

I'm starting to like what I hear too. I just hope he doesn't turn into Eakins 2.0.
