The Kings are now beginning the reshuffling of the deck on the Titanic. You are correct he was on Mike Gillis’s list after AV got fired. FA wanted Torts and so we went with him instead and the rest is history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I find the hiring of Marco Sturm to be very interesting. What he did with Germany at the Olympics was exceptional. Him and WD may make a good team, if Marco handles the X's and O's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimito Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 happy for WD. Deserves another shot. Green is good, but last yr he also showed what poor depth and injuries can do. Coaching can only go so far. We all him and green to them to thank for drafting high, and JB and co for getting BB, EP, Hughes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I'm interested to see what Willie can do with the Kings. Despite their struggles, they still have a lot more talent than what WD had to work with here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekker Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Willie seems like a good guy and I wish him luck. I didn't like a lot of his decisions when he was here. I bet he would be a great assistant but I seem to remember him getting outmatched by other head coaches while here. Surprised at this decision by the Kings.

Not a NHL coach in any sense of the word....Tom Renney was like that too... Yip. Both better off as assistants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, good for him, my hate for the Kings is a little bit less now. It’s just interim for now, so don’t hold too much weight on it sticking just yet.

ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I always felt WD was more fit to be a coach on a older veteran type team then a rebuild team, he just never wanted to have the patience to let kids make mistakes and learn, so imo this is a good opportunity for WD, LA is more older team so maybe his system will work better now. Although the goalie situation sucks for him lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
