Doug Marrone.

 

Oh, wait. Wrong franchise,… and we already had him and he didn't smile enough.

 

 

 

(he actually did his part to help the Bills today and we wet ourselves)

I like this choice. Does Nashville play a possession game?

 

Top half of league in possession. In Nashville he is in charge of the defensemen (led all d-corps in scoring last year) and power play (10th last year; 11th so far this year). Nashville also gave up the fewest shots in the league last year. He was also head coach of the gold medal winning USA world junior team in 2013.

Why the BU guy? Has he done anything without Jack?

 

Erie coach worries me simply because of the massive amount of talent they always seem to have.

 

I like the SJ thought, anything more on him or how SJ plays? I don't really watch them

 

London Knights always have a good program. Who's their HC?

 

How has nobody poached an AC from Chicago? In general hockey teams don't seem to take other teams ACs. Are they useless?

Boughner, a former NHL defenseman, is coming off a strong first season as an NHL assistant. He coached Windsor of the Ontario Hockey League for eight seasons (2006-10, 2011-15), winning the Memorial Cup in 2009 and 2010, and was named OHL Coach of the Year in 2008 and 2009.

 

Boughner worked with the Sharks defensemen and was in charge of the penalty kill. The San Jose PK improved from 78.5 percent in 2014-15 to 80.5 percent last season. The Sharks also improved in overall team defense by allowing 2.52 goals per game, down from 2.76 in 2014-15.

 

 

Knoblauch would have similar talent in Buffalo and the core

wouldn't change every couple of years.( Hopefully)

 

Quinn has Asst Coach experience, and BU has remained a Top 10 College Team and Dave Hastkol has made the transition with the Flyers from College.

 

Ruff and Housley would be fine choices as well

Can you even imagine Lindy riding back in on a white horse?

 

The mere thought of it makes me excited and sad and all sorts of other things. I'd put the odds slightly below zero, however.

I preferably want an assistant with a proven track record ready to take on a bigger challenge. From what I've heard, and considering his Buffalo roots, Housley is my early personal frontrunner.

Oh, I didn't even know, that makes my first comment come off in bad taste, blah

 

Meh.  No biggie.

I can imagine it.  I don't think it would be a bad thing.  Maybe a better option is out there.

Just wondering why. I really wanted him to take the place of Lindy years ago, to many jeers around here. He only ended up leading them to the SC finals.

 

Not only that, but he coached them in the finals and they won it ...  :ph34r:

I meant to say he ended up in Philly and took them to the finals.

Don't think he'll last the season in Dallas.

I want someone who thinks offense first...

 

This, and IN. I don't want another retread. Let's see what the young up and comers can provide. Housley idea is intriguing though. Edited by DirtDart

I don't think it's that far-fetched. It would be right up Terry's alley. Especially if my crazy theory is correct about Lindy not getting fired but leaving on his own terms to avoid the coming tank.
