So... Assistant Coaches?

[TrueBlueGED]

maybe we will draft an assistant with the 5th rounder. #assetmanagement

Can said assistant do a pull up?

[LGR4GM]

Can said assistant do a pull up?

If not he must be awful.

[woods-racer]

If not he must be awful.

I can do at least 3.

 

I'll be excellent.

 

I trained at the Ted Nolan school of coaching vocabulary. I know all the perfect coaching motivational phrases.

 

Can I have the job now Please?

[Iron Crotch]

Totally random thought, but maybe Housley can steal Lane Lambert away from the Caps?

 

(I'm sure it is highly doubtful, but just throwing it out there)

[LGR4GM]

Ward and Allen still listed as Sabres coaches so something to keep in mind.

GMBOT says he'll make it official: Andrew Allen back as goalie coach

 

Per Joe Yerdon

[Brawndo]

The Sabres have a new video coach Mathew Myers. There is great story about his time with the Predators

Davis Payne hired as associate coach per Sabres

 

Has been with the Kings the past five seasons

 

Also per Sabres

 

In addition, Andrew Allen returns as goaltending coach, and former scout Seamus Kotyk will become the team’s goaltending development coach.

 

Has experience as a HC with St Louis, complied a winning record with them as well.

 

The move is being praised on Twitter by Kris Baker and Jon Rosen on NHL.com

Payne is an interesting choice.  He worked primarily with the forwards and oversaw the  power play with the Kings.  Will Housley work the defense and let Payne run the offense?  Makes sense due to Housley's experience, but not sure how many teams' HC runs the defense.

Housley will add another assistant to work with the defense and probably PK.  He will work with both. 

Scott Stevens would be a great add.  Spurgeon, Brodin and Dumba really took off under his tutelage.  He stepped down because Minny was too far away and his family is in Westchester.

Remember from the introductory presser, our defense will be our offense too.

[Brawndo]

Payne, who worked primarily with the forwards, oversaw a power play that ranked 27th in 2013-14 (14.8%), 10th in 2014-15 (19.0%), 8th in 2015-16 (20.0%) and 15th (19.1%) in 2016-17. Cumulatively, the Kings operated with a power play that operated at an 18.1% success rate between 2013 and 2017, which tied for 19th in the league.

 

It wasn’t only the forwards and the power play that Payne oversaw, but also the comprehensive implementation of the team’s structure and detail along with Darryl Sutter and John Stevens.

Gord Dineen for Amerks Assistant Coach

Gord Dineen is a solid hire.  GM Bobblehead is true to his word about building bottom to top. 

[Tondas]

I like the Dineen hire.  Experienced with defensive expertise.  Seems to have fallen out of favor with the Marlies.

I couldn’t agree more. He’d be a great help for young/first time NHL head coach. I suspect he’ll land somewhere

Sorry to see @TBLightning fire assistant coach Rick Bowness, one of the truly good men in the game.
