What happened? Last season 22 pts in 28 games and a call up. This year 18 pts in 50 games and -17. Can someone who watched GR explain this?

Randy Carlyle invented old time hockey.

https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-releases-final-2022-draft-rankings/c-333710734 NHL central final rankings. Some are quite surprising. Nazar has fallen to 21. While Cutter Gauthier has risen to 3! Kasper is also higher than Lekkermaki at 5. Slafkovsky the #1 international skater.

I'd take a few seasons of BBQ Bruce. He's 67. How many more years does he have anyway?

We have to spend roughly $18-20 million to get above the cap floor. Braden Holtby $4 Alexander Edler $4 Nikita Zadorov $4.5 Vincent Trocheck $7 Andrew Copp $7 Total = $26.5 million Only 6-8 million above the floor (10-12 when Fabbri returns) and we have a whole new team. Vrana - Larkin - Raymond Fabbri - Copp - Bertuzzi Rasmussen - Trocheck - Berggren Erne - Suter - Sundqvist Scratched: Zadina + Smith Zadorov - Seider Edvinsson - Hronek Edler - Lindstrom Scratched: Oesterle Nedeljkovic Holtby

We have to spend roughly $18 million this year JUST TO REACH THE CAP FLOOR. We need a 2C, a backup goalie, and multiple LHD. It's hard to think we can't not go after a big name with the money we have to spend.

Only guys he worked with. Not played for.

I wanted to list EVERY coach. Plus I think it's funny.

Or because covid is a big HO. AX.

Every coach Yzerman has ever worked with, except those he just fired: Mike Babcock - 59 - HC Univ of Saskatchewan Paul MacLean - 64 - Senior Advisor Toronto Maple Leafs Todd McLellan - 54 - HC Los Angeles Kings Andy Murray - 71 - Unemployed Gerard Gallant - 58 - HC New York Rangers Mike Johnston - 65 - GM/HC Portland Winterhawks WHL Ken Hitchcock - 70 - Consultant St Louis Blues Pat Burns - Dead Craig MacTavish - 63 - HC Lausanne Switzerland Brad McCrimmon - Dead Jacques Lemaire - 76 - Special Assignment Coach New York Islanders Lindy Ruff - 62 - HC New Jersey Devils Guy Boucher - 50 - Unemployed Wayne Flemming - Dead Dan Lacroix - 53 - HC Moncton Wildcats QMJHL Martin Raymond - 54 - AGM Gatineau Olympiques QMJHL Jon Cooper - 54 - HC Tampa Bay Lightning Doug Shedden - 61 - HC ERC Ingolstadt DEL Dave Tippett - 60 - Unemployed Barry Trotz - 59 - HC New York Islanders Rick Bowness - 67 - HC Dallas Stars George Gwozdecky - 68 - HC Valor Christian High School Claude Julien - 62 - Unemployed Steve Thomas - 58 - Unemployed Brad Lauer - 55 - HC Edmonton Oil Kings WHL Todd Richards - 55 - AC Nashville Predators Jeff Halpern - 46 - AC Tampa Bay Lightning Derek Lalonde - 49 - AC Tampa Bay Lightning Greg Ireland - 56 - HC Bolzano Italy Mike Stothers - 60 - AC Anaheim Ducks Curt Fraser - 64 - Unemployed Trent Yawney - 56 - AC Los Angeles Kings Rob Zettler - 54 - AC Tampa Bay Lightning Benoit Groulx - 54 - HC Syracuse Crunch AHL Mark Holick - 53 - AC Kamloops Blazers WHL Alex Tanguay - 42 - AC Detroit Red Wings Dan Bylsma - 51 - AC Charlotte Checkers AHL Adam Nightingale - 42 - HC Michigan State University I highlighted those that are realistic options. Some are more realistic than others. I'd put them in two groups: Have a chance: Babcock Tippett Julien Halpern Lalonde Groulx Long shot: Everyone else

Got that CNN money to afford out of state tuition I see

He's worked with a lot of coaches. The full list of guys, that aren't retired or already have NHL HC gigs, is like 30 names long.

I see your point, but I don't think he meant it that way. "I'm not hiring someone I don't know, but also not hiring someone who knows me."

Cause foreigners suck at reading Business idea:

>Boston. Cold. Full of snobby intellectuals who think they all go to Harvard. >ASU. Party school. Have to drink liquor bc beer gets warm too fast. Women walk around in bikinis all year round. Mastro would be g-ay if he didn't transfer.

Sure but I kinda got the impression he was just covering his tracks there. >I like ppl I know and have worked with, but of course I'll do my due diligence and consider everyone. Who knows though maybe I'm wrong. I thought at want he also said something along the lines of "I've already said too much".

Remember when the media ran with the Lane Lambert angle and that became a thing in the minds of fans? Well they really seem to be running with John Tortorella now. Where there's smoke there might be fire... If Torts is a thing I could see him coming here for max 2-3 years. Just to bust balls and instill discipline. Set the tone of the team going forward. In the meantime we keep rebuilding. Then Steve moves on to a 3rd coach. Ugly ppl shouldn't be on TV

Niederbach transferring to Rogle. Mastrosimone transferring to Arizona State. I assume for both this is to get more ice time.

Should be announced between the finals and the draft I presume.

It was a solid side chat today - cracked some whips on those blash apologists

change your name

I think google account which is youtube. i dont think they allow anons anymore

Raymond got his first taste of real money and the star athlete life and now he wants the summer off to party. AA/Hudler 2.0.

Seravalli reporting that Winnipeg is gonna fire all its coaches too.

Yzerman will hold a presser today at 4PM Eastern. Make sure you hop on the youtube livestream so you can troll fans with @F.Michael and I in the sidechat.
