Well great. Except they haven't been great.

Well what exactly even makes a “good” coach? Everyone has their own idea as what a good coach is, even the GM. Everyone in here is screaming for an “elite” coach, but what even makes an elite coach? Their salary expectations? A Stanley Cup? Their win-loss record? How does a not so good coach eventually become an elite coach in the first place?
Also, I’m not really here to judge whether Treliving’s coaching choices are good or bad either because quite simply put, how the hell would I know? I’m not a general manager, I’m not a coach, I don’t work in this business. I couldn’t tell you for sure if Geoff Ward is a good coach or not. But what I can say is Treliving thinks he’s a good coach and armed with a new 2 year deal, it doesn’t appear financially likely that Ward will be fired and a big ticket coach will be on his way to finally fulfill CP’s wet dream of getting that elusive “elite” coach.
