Jaymister 71 Report post Posted January 12, 2013 Is this a full-time or part-time gig for him? He's not going on all the road trips, so it looks like a part time gig. Certainly wont hurt having him to mentor some of the young players they have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
55fan 5,133 Report post Posted January 12, 2013 Surprised he didn't wait until the middle of the year to decide. j/k I do have to give him some respect. Good player and all, despite being a Duck and Devil. Will it translate into good coaching? Who knows. Some guys do well, others not so much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ya that's true a lot of good players can't relate to less skilled players and have a hard time figuring out how to coach them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best example would be the great one superb player but just couldn't teach others how to play the game. Which I still can't understand but having a guy like Niedermayer running your D has to be a big plus. That guy was easily 2 behind the perfect human at least it will work wonders for Fowler.
