Gallant is living in PEI so I don't think he would have to quarantine for 14 days. Not sure if Boudreau is in Canada either. Strange to assume all candidates are coming from the USA.

Didn’t know that about Gallant. I do think he might figure (with good reason) he’s got a great shot at Seattle.
Boudreau lives in Hershey and has pretty big ties there:

There is another possibility that occurred to me last night: Tre goes and finds a new coach, and signs him under a strict NDA. That coach moves from the US to Canada, does the Covid bubble/isolation thing and then....boom! There goes Ward and the new coach is already here.
I didn't say it was likely...just a possible course of action.

That's just a crappy way of doing business.
If they decide to replace him and there are covid delays, they will just have one of the assistants run the bench.

He can start by removing himself from the GM role.

I am so much looking forward to the CP "Boudreau" sighting thread complete with pictures of fat old guys! Maybe this is already happening!?!

Top down overhaul of this team needs to happen for any significant positive change to occur with this team.
Treliving, Ward, Giordano and the core. All need to go.

Name another player with 3 or less points that would be headline news if benched for a period. GL

It is hard for certain people to understand because there is a select group that even on days Sam Bennett plays well, or after a team win, they will put out a negative Sam Bennett post. It is almost trollish... It is annoying especially when the forum is feeling good about a win and then a certain poster will drop another Bennett comment just to get everyone going the other way.

Yeah, you’re absolutely correct.

Draft Pick
|
It worked in the PO bubble, I'm not saying 93 should replace 19, but he does produce with better linemates, his leash has always been super short

Lots of reasons maybe the organization does not want Sam commenting on it. Why does he need to fire the agent. Even coaches do dumb things and don't get fired.

I'm also gully on board with firing Ward and making some changes to the core.
Sutter, Boudreau or Gallant. Doesn't matter to me. I just need some entertaining, lunch pail hockey.

They do all the time, even the comment about Sam's face expression after he scored a goal. Very Trollish. What about Lucic's face expression, or even Wards... You know we can't be missing this stuff never mind Sam Bennett.
