NHL Rumors: Mike Sullivan Availability Changes the Head Coaching Landscape
God Stellick: “We’re just saying we talk hockey on a regular basis, however the on-ice motion has been so great. We’re giving a brief trip to all these coaching vacancies. There’s so many vacancies on the market. Now, you touched on Vancouver.”
Elliotte Friedman: “1 / 4 of the league Gordo.”
Stellick: “Yeah. So right away, where are we regarding David Carle, since you mentioned we got a form of the whole lot, plenty of situations on hold until he decides. And another dots you’re connecting, whether it’s (Peter) Laviolette otherwise you mentioned (Joel) Quenneville. Like every other dots, you’re connecting like logical matches.”
On David Carle:
Friedman: Okay, so let’s undergo them. Carle, as I reported, he said no to Chicago, and he was primary on their list. I’ve heard, I said on Monday on the pod that I imagine the word is it’s likely he goes back to Denver.
One in all the things I heard there Gordo was that in NCAA recruiting, he’s got a few players within the positions he’s got to fill, and I heard that other teams were targeting Denver and saying, you don’t wish to go there, he’s leaving. And I feel for that reason, I feel he’s aware of what individuals are attempting to do there to harm Denver’s recruiting. So I feel it’s likely he finally ends up back there, although I did hear there was one other team that not less than desired to confer with him, but until I hear in another way, I feel it’s likely he goes back to Denver.
NHL News and Injury Notes: Thursday the first
On Mike Sullivan – Latest York Rangers or Boston Bruins:
Friedman: “So once you’re the openings, I mean, Rangers and Chris Drury has liked Mike Sullivan for a very long time. They worked together on the 4 Nations this 12 months. I feel Sullivan’s two likeliest landing spots are the Rangers and Boston. I feel it will be an actual disappointment for the Rangers in the event that they didn’t get him.
And the opposite thing too is historically, the Rangers have been willing to pay greater than Boston has. Like that, that might be something where it will be, it will be, it’s not that it’s unimaginable, but for a training salary, I feel it will be a surprise if the Rangers got outbid by Boston. So I’m Sullivan there.
On Patrick Roy:
Friedman: “We still should work out that the brand new GM or President of Hockey Operations, or nevertheless they resolve to do it, they don’t get to make the selection about Patrick Roy with the Islanders.”
Pittsburgh Penguins:
Friedman: “I feel Pittsburgh, this coaching change Gordie makes it appear to me such as you higher be okay with the undeniable fact that the team isn’t going to be necessarily suitable for a pair years. That Dubas sees an extended pathway right into a rebuild, and so whoever coaches the team goes to have to grasp that.”
Buffalo Sabres:
Friedman: “We’re still waiting on Buffalo to see what happens with their front office. Terry Pegula and Kevyn Adams have been meeting, I feel, since Sunday, and we have now to get an idea of what they’re considering.”
NHL Rumors: From Boston To Calgary This Summer
Boston Bruins:
Friedman: “I mean, Boston, I feel it’s wide open. I feel they’re attempting to confer with a lot of the top-level candidates, but I also think they’ve a wider list. Like Jay Leach, I feel, can be one other one. Like that’s an interesting one for Boston. He was an assistant coach this 12 months. Do they promote from inside after this sort of a season, but Jay Leach.”
Philadelphia Flyers:
Friedman: “Philly now (Rick) Tocchet enters the fray. If it’s not Tocchet, I feel Brad Shaw has an honest shot at that job.”
Vancouver Canucks:
Friedman: “Like Vancouver, wide open.”
Anaheim Geese:
Friedman: “Anaheim, I feel they’re very serious about Joel Quenneville and a few others. I feel that considered one of the names on there that he’s definitely anyone there, considering.”
NHL Rumors: Could Patrick Roy’s Days because the Latest York Islanders Head Coach be Numbered?
Seattle Kraken:
Friedman: “I feel Seattle, I don’t have a fantastic handle on that one. Yes, I’ll be working on that over the following couple of days.”
Chicago Blackhawks:
EF: Chicago. I feel they form of needed to regroup a bit after they lost Carle and form of see what their second selections were.”
Nashville Predators – Andrew Brunette is He Protected?
Friedman: “I feel so, but glad you mentioned that because there hasn’t been official clarity. However the longer it goes, the more I feel he (Andrew Brunette) survives for an additional shot. There was definitely some worry there, but Barry Trotz hasn’t met with the media yet. But I assume I can’t say 100% because they haven’t said obviously, but they imagine that was Trotz’s goal was to return back with him for an additional 12 months.”
Other Coaches Out There:
Friedman: “So, the one thing I actually have for Gordy is that the one thing I actually have for is that there’s type of like that top tier group of fellows there, after which there’s one other tier. I feel that second tier is different. It’s type of just like the wider circle. And, there are some people there who coached before, Luke Richardson, people like that, who’ve been available on the market before. And I feel there’s some younger guys or different guys.
Steve Yzerman Has To Be More Aggressive For Detroit Red Wings To Succeed
I feel, can be the guy who would get a number of interviews. Todd Nelson, Jeff Halpern, Jeff Blashill, perhaps getting a second probability. I feel there’s, I feel, depending on the team you’ve gotten and your list, I feel plenty of these lists can be form of different.”
