[Report] Brind'Amour's future in Carolina up in the air

[Coconuts]

If he hits the market he'll undoubtedly break Babcock's pay record.

 

 

 

[Guest]

I think he'd be a blank cheque signing for some teams.

 

I think if Carolina doesn't make it to the ECF, then maybe you don't re-sign him, but a great coach is an unbelievable asset for a team that wants to contend for the Cup.

[King Heffy]

Every coach has a shelf life, but Carolina would be nuts to let him go.  Whichever team he chooses will be very lucky to have him.

[GrammaInTheTub]

I’m curious if the extension offer is collared where he gets X if they make the playoffs or win a round, Y if further and Z if he wins a cup. Let’s not forget they let Trotz walk in Washington after he won them a cup because they couldn’t agree on dollars.

[Gurn]

Hey- Buffalo here is potentially another candidate for your head coaching job., maybe even John cooper comes available as well.

What- you already signed a head coach, without waiting to see who would be available?

 

Dummies.

Seattle? or Toronto after they lose out to the Bruins?

I was thinking Toronto as well. Keefe is most likely gone and they've got the wallet to go for the best available. He would do great with them which would suck.

Good lord, if the Leafs hire BrindaMour may as well shut Sportsnet off for a week. It will be an epic hire, the same as Keefe, same as Babcock, same as any old thing that club does.

 Rod would get a seizure if he had to deal with Toronto's roster.

 

I think this just someone trying to rattle chains and get clicks.

Rod the Bods clipboard has more muscle than Marner and Matthews combined. Lol 

[King Heffy]

I think New Jersey would make the most sense.  Talented group that took a step back last year due to poor coaching and goaltending.  Could also see LA if they get bounced by the Soilers yet again.

Carolina should stop playing with fire and just pay the man, they'd be hard pressed to find a coach of his caliber.

Must be a personality clash, it's certainly not for a hockey reason.

I believe Rod Brind' Amour has had a working relationship with Ron Francis (Seattle GM)? Perhaps that could be a potential landing spot if Brind' Amour is on the market.

carolina is prolly waiting to see if rod can get the team over the hump.. i mean they have been a contenders for how many years now?? and they have 0 final appearance to show for it.

Seattle is definitely a good fit for Rod if Carolina doesn't re-sign him. He not only has he had a previous working relationship with Ron Francis (Brind'Amour was an assistant coach when Francis was Director of Hockey Operations) but they also played together on the Hurricanes where Rod wore an A while Francis was Captain.

This is the second year they've been considered contender's, and last year not a front runner.    Their window is now for sure.   Conference finals last year.   Not sure what you're getting at,  Rod's one of the best in the league and for sure a big reason why they are where they are (it's not a wowzers roster).    Last year Florida got lucky, that was the most tilted series i've watched since us against Vegas, Bobrovsky stole it for them.

Plus he's a BC boy.   I'm sure he'd be happy to work with his old running mate too.

FTFY.   The idea that players are "in much better shape now"  is ... not true.

[DrJockitch]

Toronto is going to have a position open. Who will become the highest paid coach in the league, Berube or Brnd’amour?

[IBatch]

Will say this, if he was on the market and we needed a coach, i'd sure hope Vancouver did everything in their power to get him.   One of the best.
