JQ will not be out of work for long and that speaks for itself. Don't get me wrong, I like Trent, I just like JQ more. sure but look at what he had to work with. He's got a similar team now talent wise to us, and his record is similar. I'd be worried about bringing in another new system etc. at this point, it would be a step back.

-AJ- Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Wow. Just goes to show that even one of the greatest coaches of all-time can be fired. Still, I'm not sure he deserved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmo2337 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Wow, didn't see this one coming. I have no idea why they would fire him. Is 3 cups and counting not enough? He wont be out of a job long. And his replacement will likely be a downgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV turned down the King's job. Quennville would do the same. That's a team headed to a rebuild. I could see any top team, that is struggling, going for Quennville or AV though. Are the Oilers doing badly enough yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyotasfan Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 They were having a resurgence until Kane got hurt and they had a bad western road trip. JQ is a good coach to have to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Surprised. I classify Quennville as one of the best coaches in the NHL, have always liked his approach. I don't think coaching is the issue in Chicago, they need to make a trade that no one wants to make and might cost them a little on the draft pick side to do. They need to move one of their cornerstone D and reshuffle the deck. Until they do, not much is going to change there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Dang! Imagine if both Q and AV end up competing for the Seattle job? Have to imagine Quenneville will get scooped up by a team for this season, but he could also just take a little break, collect his $6 million per, and then take that Seattle gig where he's undoubtedly have a ton of control over the on-ice product, helping to build a team from the ground up. Sportsnet guys talking about how the Bowmans wanted to fire Coach Q going back as far as before their second Cup win, but Quenneville kept winning and they couldn't make the optics work. Still looks like a crazy move, given Q's record and reputation as one of the league's greatest coaches, but apparently Chicago management has been wanting to make this move for years, and with the Hawks' struggles this season, they finally felt they could justify it.

I could definately see him kicking up his feet for the rest of the year. Then, like the pretty horned up gal at closing time, he will have his pick of options.
