Gord Stellick: “By just saying that if it was not the first round of the Stanley Cup playoff series, you get more play on training, you know, like John Tortorella. We talked about it for two days, for example. But I think someone expected or was waiting in Peter Laviolette With New York Rangers. First, not as much on Greg Cronin in Anaheim. So, thoughts of names that suit your mind in these two very different situations? »»
NHL rumors: New York Rangers cannot run the same list
Dave Pagnotta: “I thought, and I feel that the state of mind in New York will be, bring an experienced guy to come there and help push this team. Chris KreiderThe name of reappearance and possibly discuss commercial talks later in summer, around the project. They do not have a ton of ceiling space during the Dead season, so it will take a lot of creativity by slowing down a little from this list.
But Chris DruryThis is what he will have to do, he and his staff. And B, he recognized, as regards the coach side of things, that it is open to any possibility. Head coach of the NHL's first year, a veteran who has been there for some time, he will examine all his options, as he said once, once they let Laviolette leave. I always believe, as I mentioned earlier, that they will somehow lean towards experience, unless someone blows them from the water here. But we will see a little where they end up going.
Is it a guy like Joel Quenneville Who can come back and is your type of finisher to put a team? I think I do not know if they necessarily want to rush into a decision, because I think that some of the alignment movements will dictate the type of coach they are looking for, and maybe it will be vice versa. Maybe they bring the coach, then make additional list movements that complete this system and this style. But you know, research started them.
It also started for Anaheim. Now that this one, the two guys, Laviolette and Cronin, have a year on their contracts in Anaheim. It seemed like they just wanted a bit of a different voice. Now, generally, when you do and you have an improvement of 21 points that goes back to the way they worked last season, you think, things, things are fine. It just seemed that they wanted to change things a little more.
New York change of mind: Rangers' dominoes are starting to fall
In addition to what I expected, this offseason will also be much more active. Because they have a ton of ceiling space, they will start implementing additional veterans to complete some of their young people. For Anaheim, I am really curious to see guys like David Carle will be the center of attention for many teams. He is on the Chicago radar. He is on the Philly radar. They will be, and I imagine that Anaheim will want to have a kind of conversation there.
The name of Jay Woodcroft has already appeared as a potential candidate to continue. Obviously has this NHL experience, but a younger type coach. I think it may be the direction in which Anaheim enters. Then we will see what or how things end up coming for them, I think, in the coming weeks here. »»
