I'm glad he we didn't, I've got fond memories of that time too but some things are best left in the past. Different time, different team, it wouldn't be the same. We don't have the hall of fame caliber twins anymore, having Boudreau around to try and coax offense out of the entire team is the better choice imo. I like AV, I respect AV, but I didn't want a rookie or a retread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I wonder if they knew that AV was getting fired and that Philly would go after Boudreau....maybe it forced their hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumb move by them. They have to eat 3 years of salary. It was a 25 million dollar 5 year deal. Makes the Canucks look level headed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he gets an NHL job offer it will be as an assistant I'd suspect. AHL head coach maybe Av though will be back sooner but I'd think next year as barring something new in the NHL I think with the cancuks , Canadians and flyers changing coaches now the next round of firings will be at the end of this regular season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great goalie performance also helped contribute to AV getting a Jack Adams trophy. You take the good with the bad. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletcher tried to improve the D-corps in the off-season. Ryan Ellis is a legit top pairing D but he is unfortunately injured and only played 4 games. The analytics community has been skeptical about Ristolainen though. Gostisbehere had been on the trade block for a while and he too was an offensive D. Philippe Myers is now a healthy scratch in Nashville as they work with him on the details of his game. Edited December 6, 2021 by mll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a good player, but getting old and has also never really been known for his defensive play. When you change over half the d-corp (also brought in Nick Seeler who admittedly I know nothing about) there's bound to be some chemistry issues as well.
