If he was coming in as an assistant that would be cool but no as HC. If this team is rebuilding then Granato is the guy. If they are somehow pulling this thing back on the tracks to try and compete by keeping everyone then there are a lot of vet coaches out there to hire. 1 Quote
Thorner Posted May 18, 2021 Report Posted May 18, 2021 And the first guy they reach out to, no surprise Quote
PerreaultForever Posted May 18, 2021 Report Posted May 18, 2021 If the other options are college and unproven in the NHL coaches I'd rather keep Granato. Rangers, on the other hand, are looking at all the veteran coaches people here like, with Gallant as the frontrunner apparently. https://thehockeywriters.com/rangers-quinn-gallant-leetch/ 2 Quote

DarthEbriate Posted May 19, 2021 Report Posted May 19, 2021 I have a sweet spot for Brind'Amour... who hasn't officially re-signed yet, but will any moment... and I would've loved Grier on the Sabres staff. Really, Granato is fine if we're going the full youth movement route, but frankly, I want some proven experience as a head coach. Just get someone who hires a top staff, keeps Bales or an appropriate goalie-whisperer, and then inspires the team to attack. Quote

I think it’s pretty much a lock Maurice gets fired if they lose the series. I don’t have interest. I’m still surprised there hasn’t been any talk of Malhotra getting attention as a HC this offseason.

I hope he is gone. PLD and Ehlers might not play and Copper was in a non-contact jersey and didn't play the last game of the season. I hope that if PLD and Ehlers (I don't expect him to play at least the first 2 games) don't play, it doesn't give Maurice an excuse and Chevy keeps him. He is set to make 3m next two seasons with the 2nd one being a club option. If he's fired, I expect him to be swooped up by Seattle. He's a good coach for teams with young up and coming players but not sold on him once a team has "come of age". Quote

msw2112 Posted May 19, 2021 Report Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) I agree with the post above - if they are not going to go with a proven NHL veteran coach, they should stick with Granato. He's at least shown something at the NHL level this year. He's coached at all levels, including the NHL, seems to have the respect of the players, and seems to know his X's and O's. Players seem to be developing and playing hard under him, which didn't occur under other coaches. I also like the way he made adjustments. Rather than rigidly sticking to one system, he altered his game plans based on what the other teams did against the Sabres. It's also pretty remarkable the success he had against a very difficult schedule with no Eichel, no NHL-caliber goalie and a lot of inexperienced guys. You have to wonder how he'd do with a full training camp and a complete roster, including NHL-caliber goalies and either Eichel or the players they'd get in exchange for him.
