oh and two players who basically live in the dirty areas (corners/behind the net) and are always accountable publicly in the media and with fans are soft and will be made to cry by a coach they pushed to hire

Those are
their dirty areas. They certainly aren't
the dirty areas. Torts' would no doubt cringe at the Sedins' diminutive playoff style.
Now, if the Sedins talked to Torts and said, "you know John, we don't want to be known for what we've done in the playoffs in recent memory. Frankly, we want to step it up, and if that means shooting lanes, in front of the net, not backing down from physical challenges by dwarfs, then so be it, whatever it takes. We think you are the man to get us to play playoff hockey and we know you are not going to be easy on us." Then maybe this is a good hire.
It also hinges on Torterella switching up his systems that he used in New York and finding something that is, you know, effective.
Those are two pretty big ifs, and it is a questionable hire because of that. So yes, that is pretty much the thread so far.
