Todd Nelson to be Griffins new coach

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Woo hoo! My boy Nelly (insert obligatory rapper image) will be awesome at his job. He has already spent years in Grand Rapids, although it was with Ottawa's farm team. He's the first ever pick of the Griffins, so he's come full circle. So happy to hear this. Great guy, smart hockey player, Way to go Todd!

Thought it was gonna be Derek Lalonde, but nothing wrong with having strong coaching depth in all three leagues. Nelson is a PP genius, and got some alright results with a crappy Oilers team. He's been a stud in the AHL before, so I expect him to do a great job with the kids.

Interesting, why didn't he go back to Edm's farm team.

He played for the Griffins in the 90s. So I'm guessing since he was going to "regress" to the AHL coaching ranks regardless, he decided to go with nostalgia? That and the fact that coaching within the Wings organization these days is like climbing onto a loaded catapult. You're going to end up somewhere else, travelling in an upward direction, quickly.

You mean the oilers?
