JV77 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 User Actions Follow Minnesota WildVerified account@mnwild #mnwild has agreed to terms with Bruce Boudreau as the team's new head coach: http://ow.ly/5Wtf3000RMV Gotta give it to Bruce, he doesn't stay unemployed long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Actually surprised that Calgary didn't attempt to get him, or that he didn't hold out for Calgary. While the Wild have some good pieces, Parise and Suter's contracts, not to mention Vanek's are going to be a weight around their neck for quite a while.

Parise is meh imo. I don't think Minnesota has a good team though, so wonder why bruce wanted to be apart of it so fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzle Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Boudreau is a good season coach, but his teams seem to disappear in the playoffs, generally speaking. Why is Minnesota making this move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is Minnesota making this move? Well Minnesota hasn't been bad in the playoffs. They've either met or exceeded expectations each year. If he can make them a better regular season team, maybe they'll finish as a higher seed and get to face easier opponents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRick Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 So if Minnesota wants to Guarantee to lose game 7's, then they have the right coach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuckin_futz Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 So now we need Calgary to hire Dave Cameron from Ottawa and Ottawa to hire Bob Hartley from Calgary and they can leave Travis Green the frack alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neversummer Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 It seems that coaches have a 'hot' window, once that window passes, they stay unemployed (as a head coach) for a LONG while. Ron Wilson, Carlyle, Crawford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Anaheim? I think it's been reported that they are the team that would have interest in Travis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played for the Ducks, and I believe he has some other ties to that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Jay 22 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Hmm....out of all the teams BB could have chosen, I don't think the Wild are a good fit for him...at all. He's getting a team that is the complete opposite of his Washington and Anaheim teams. Minnesota has no players even remotely close to talented in the offensive zone as Getzlaf/Perry/Ovi/Backstrom. What's worse is Minny has their own cap problems, and a terrible prospect pool. He's going to have to ride that prevent trap defense strategy hard now if he wants to have success at Minny, because with the exception of Tuch and Erikson-Ek, his best players for the entire time he's in Minny are already on the team, and they ain't going anywhere because of their NTC/NMC clauses.

Fanuck Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Boudreau paid the price because Perry quit playing after the regular season ended. Anaheim's core has peaked imo. Will be interesting to see what he does with a team without any superstars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That core has hardly peaked. They are 30 and 31. They may be leaving their prime soon, but you make it sound like they are the Sedins. Anaheim will be perfectly fine.
