    Rough go for Hynes. I didnt think he was a good coach but at least the preds were competitive the past 2 seasons.

    Good for Brunette, he deserve a HC job

    A bit random, but I have Saros as a keeper in my one league. Is Brunette's coaching style one that will benefit a goalie usually?

    I think we get to see if Brunette is a coach that pivots his style to the players he has, or if he has his system and just runs with it regardless of his players.

    New Jersey didn't give up a lot (He was the assistant there) but Florida when he was a head coach gave up a lot. He was part of the Wild for yrs so, it very well could be a guy who legitimately coaches (like Trotz) and doesn't hammer a system (Babcock).

    I hope you are right. That he coaches what he has. I think this could have been an interesting hire for Toronto with their roster... but I doubt Toronto would have hired him after his mishap in the playoffs with Florida last year.

    I think this is a clear upgrade. Hynes was really bad in Jersey, and I think the talent level in Nashville masked how bad a coach he was.

    We will see, however.

    Just read that Brunette will be the 4th coach in Preds history. Wow. I had no idea. 4th coach since 1998. Some guys have had some serious longevity there. Mainly Trotz I guess.

    Trotz who was the first head coach in Franchise history, and 2nd GM, hired the teams first goal scorer as their 4th head coach.

    Some very random numbers there lol.

    Equivalents that are still possible:
    Dave Hakstol hiring Ryan Donato as the fourth coach of Seattle.
    Associate Editor for DobberHockey (Wednesdays). Click that Ramblings button on the the menu bar!
    (No I don't have a hockey problem...)
