I've never been impressed enough with Bourdeau to think he is an elite coach.
Gallant has been unceremoniously relieved of his duties twice in surprise moves, I'm not going to make any assumptions, but that is a definite red flag. He's the guy I wanted, but I am willing to concede that Treliving has the connections to possibly know what happened in Florida and Vegas.
Laviolette isn't interested in coaching in Canada, or so I have seen several people make this claim.
So are there actually better options that Ward? I'd love for those complaining to actually explain what makes other options better than Ward
