c00kies Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 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. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrammaInTheTub Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 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. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

It will be an epic hire, the same as Keefe, same as Babcock, same as any old thing that club does. Edited May 1 by Rekker 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 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. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted May 2 Author Share Posted May 2 Carolina should stop playing with fire and just pay the man, they'd be hard pressed to find a coach of his caliber. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reg Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wai_lai416 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps that could be a potential landing spot if Brind' Amour is on the market. 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. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

DrJockitch Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Toronto is going to have a position open. Who will become the highest paid coach in the league, Berube or Brnd’amour? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
