If you're the smartest guy in the room you're in the wrong room. 

Tocchet even said during his interview yesterday that he's not the smartest guy in the room when he was referencing talking with the Sedins, and that he's going to learn things from them and others. I want my coach to not think he knows everything, that's a terrible leader.

People jumping on that are just looking for another reason to hate Allvin.

I have to say, hearing what Tocchet has been saying is really impressive. I think JT, Brock and Garland will get better and be back to last years level 

Yeah i got no problem with the guy, yet. I hate when people think they’re got it figured out. Honestly we won’t really know what we truly got in coaching and our players till next year since there will be a lot of adjustments and moving parts but I can definitely see some players taken bigger strides immediately

Gotta wonder about that Dach trade for the Hawks. Could come back to bite them hard.

 

Trading a 21 year old 6’4” center who’s on pace for 50 points this season.

 

We’ll see how Nazar turns out, but it could be the definition of selling low.

I see bettman took a couple hits of meth before talking. Trying to say tanking isn't a thing and why would someone do it lmfao. Didn't things change first because Buffalo tried soooo hard to get mcdavid?? Now AZ, CHI, ANA, SJ, CLB are all losing on purpose... even MTL is coming out and saying they are tanking while trying to tell MSL to lose on purpose. 

 

Then you got us and the flyers who SHOULD be on that group of tankers but we are the worst ran franchises soo... 

 

That's 1/4 of the league who are essentially tanking buddy :lol:

Yeah but having an opinion about someone is better when you base it around a few out of context quotes and third party opinions..

Ian Macintyre on 650 said when JT played centre earlier in the year, JT said he was processing too much on trying to be better defensively and that slowed him down. Team wants him to play centre and so does JT. Team needs him to be a centre, especially with Bo potentially being traded. Looks like RT will be working on this.
 

I’m seeing rest of the season to be a work in progress for the team to build on structure. There will be some fumbles and losses, which is good for our drafting position. I now see the reason for the coaching change. This is work for next year. 
 

Let’s hope RT does a great job!

Really looking forward to this game actually. I'm hearing all the right things from Tocchet and the players. We've heard all the right things before of course, but maybe it'll be different this time around. Tocchet does seem to command some respect. We'll find out soon if my optimism was misplaced!

Doesn't matter to the Hawks. Dach timeline doesn't fit with Hawks' rebuild.

 

If these years or turmoil has taught me anything is that timeline matters.

Dach is 22.

 

What is their timeline? Over 6 years? 
 

He’d still be in his prime.

They are doing scrotch earth rebuild so yes probably over 6 years amd of course they are blatantly tanking so having him doesn't help.

Tocchet also commented that Foote taught him something in practice about how the D deals with wingers exiting the zone, or something like that. They have a wealth of knowledge on what it takes to win a Cup as a Dman in the NHL. I think Gonchar and Foote will help the D core a lot. 

 

Rutherford - won 3 Cups as a GM

Allvin - won 3 Cups (scouting)

Tocchet - won 3 Cups (2 as a player, one as an A/coach)

Gonchar - won a Cup (player)

Foote - won 2 Cups (player)

 

This is a heck of a management/coaching team, and eventually they'll get the Canucks there

I think it the misinterpretation of team tanking vs players tank. 
 

No player tanks. They try to win every game. Managers tank. They purposely ice sh!t teams making it practically a miracle to get wins
