Our PP ranked 9th in the NHL. It was not an issue.

imo power play was hit and miss- it may have averaged out to 9th, but it stunk for awhile.

Same with our penalty kill, except it stunk for longer.

Yeah, our powerplay has always been hit and miss, though when it's hot, it's extremely hot, which is why it still finished top third in the league.

I am thinking this was Scott's decision, and not the team moving on from him. I feel if the team was going to move on from any of our coaches this year, it would be King.

Bruce said he decided to retire.

Just throwing this out there: Given how close the team was, do we make the playoffs if we keep Benning while also bringing in Boudreau when we did?

I vote no

I liked the Canuck alumni connection. Quality guy. Wish him well. 

650 saying another Scott could be coming to take Walker’s place - Scott Stevens.  They said Boudreau and Stevens worked together in Minny.

pretty hard to have any issues with his resume.

As a player his resume is stellar. As a coach nothing really stands out.
 

He joined New Jersey the season after they made the finals and then his teams didn’t make the playoffs in his time there. Although that was with Deboer as head coach so that could be the reason.

 

In Minny with Boudreau he lasted one season after missing the playoffs. That could be a case of just a poor fit though.

 

That being said I think he should be a top target out of any coaches out there. Bowness should be target one if he’s willing to accept a associate role. If not John Stevens would be my second choice.

How about Sami Salo?  He's done a pretty damn good job in Finland as an assistant, making the final 2 years in a row.

because rape accusations were handled incredibly poorly back then (and still now, mostly).

true. I just have a hard time with throwing folks away just based on accusations. 

 

His part of it was also dropped apparently and a grand jury only went ahead for the other 3 of them: https://www.nytimes.com/1990/06/30/sports/no-charges-for-3-capitals.html

 

I would imagine this hire would be a group decision with the new GM and AGMs.
