Is there a source for this Bill Peters talk? It's frankly a little scary when you look at his head coaching track record at NHL level, 4 years of failure. Seems like the Peter Principle in action...

Rumours of him opting out this coming Friday.

Caps are coming back and winning this series which might be enough for Trotz to save his job.. AV is best available coach although I do have concerns with his coaching style. If CBJ lose, can we bring the lunatic in for a couple of years?

He has an out clause in his contract, and the new Canes owner confirmed that they are awaiting his (Peters') decision.

Worst kept secret in hockey.

The only really disappointing part is that Icogneto said he was going to be fired on a Monday and he was fired on a Tuesday.

What a world we live in.

Didn't they move him upstairs to be the eye in the sky when they fired Bob?

Well, media reports and the fact that his teams have never finished higher than 6th in the division despite having some nice fancy stats. There's that little nugget.

I don't see the point of making up my mind about something before it has happened.
Oh I know and I want Treliving to hire the right guy this time that is all. Im hoping for an experienced HC this time around.

Tree from Phoenix.
Hires Maloney.
Trades for Stone.
Trades for Smith.

Are we not to assume Tippett is the most logical hire here?

Absolutely mind blowing that there are GG defenders out there still (listening to 960)...

Wow, did they see the last 82, and in particular that last month?

Apparently Maloney and Tippett were at odds in Phoenix. So prolly not.
