Surprised people are having such a strong reaction to this apparent hire.
I have no opinion about this guy and won't pretend that I do by looking at his coaching record on hockeydb.

He doesn't have much of a track record and that little bit he does have is not very inspiring. I'm not sure how anyone could see this as anything else but a boom/bust hire as there's nothing to show that he's going to be a great head coach outside of a GM's hunch or gut feeling. It's not Mike Babcock or Bruce Boudreau where you know what you are getting. I don't hate the hire as to me it's like the Hartley hire where he wasn't the guy that I would hire but I hope for the best.
