What makes you think he would want to come to a 29th place team? Somebody's gotta coach Ovie when we throw the Miller/Burrows/Hansen money at him to come here... 11 minutes ago, soshified said: im joking around lmao me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcakes Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Well, Luca Sbisa was on Team Europe..........kidding It's outta the box, maybe even off of the grid but the more I think about it, Kruger is probably a decent candidate. He won Silver with Team Europe in the World Cup last year so he has something after 3 years mostly out of hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did a good enough job with Team Europe, and has a ton of international experience, but not a whole lot of real success. He sucked with the Oilers tho. IMO, I say nope. Are u serious ? Here. I will post this again..... krueger was the best pre mcdavid coach the oliers had with the current core. He is an awesome coach. Look at the wins and losses around 2012 2013 to compare. He was almost at .500. If u add the points pace to 82 games , they would have finished with 87. Pretty friggin good considering the following years were in the 60's. Doesn't take a genius to connect the dots. He had them finish the highest in their division in almost a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is happening. The thing is Krueger's actually a decent coach. Almost took that Edmonton team a few years ago to the playoffs and coached Team Europe to the Finals that they probably had no business being in. He'd probably be #3 on my list after Crawford and Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Friedman is a lot more reliable than someone like Dreger. Interesting and completely out of the box option. I think we should go with a guy that has experience rather than another rookie. It is entirely possible that this is just making sure you have some back up plans in place, in case Green gets an offer he wants more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fivethej Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Have the Canucks even started interviewing candidates yet? Heard absolutely nothing. Meanwhile, other teams are hiring replacements while there doesn't seem to be any urgency or hurry from Canucks despite them wanting to have someone in place before the draft. I still expect Travis or Crawford to be hired as new Coach which is another huge mistake and step back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder who they'd pick up for a D coach? Also, Paul Maurice seems to think quite highly of him: Maurice was named an assistant coach on Krueger's staff for Team Europe at the event, which will be held Sept. 17-Oct. 1 at Air Canada Centre in Toronto. "Very excited to work with Ralph," Maurice said from Dallas, where the Jets play at the Dallas Stars on Thursday. "He's a real interesting guy. He's been around hockey for an awfully long time but done a tremendous amount of work in leadership and building organizations and motivating them. So it'll be a great opportunity. A bunch of players I've never worked with before and a great challenge." Maurice and Krueger got to know each other when Krueger, who was coaching Switzerland's national team, did European scouting and player recruitment work for the Hurricanes while Maurice was Hurricanes coach. "We weren't at the business end of the draft table and we'd spend 10 hours talking hockey and hit it off," Maurice said. "I liked the way his Edmonton Oilers [Krueger coached the Oilers in 2012-13] played with what he had there. I thought he did a fantastic job in Edmonton, and his teams were always competitive in international competition with a whole lot less to offer. https://www.nhl.com/news/maurice-krueger-reunite-on-team-europe-staff/c-787641 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on how interested we are, if Krueger is at or near the top of the list Aquilini is gonna throw a ton of money at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
