Speculation: The coaching search continues

[Cosmix]

So... That implied probability for Berube makes me think easy money...

Candidate	Odds	Implied probability
John Gruden	+105	48.78%
Craig Berube	+175	376.36%
Dean Evason	+650	13.33%
Jay Woodcroft	+1000	9.09%
Gerard Gallant	+1500	6.25%
Todd McLellan	+2400	4.00%
Claude Julien	+5500	1.79%
Chris Kelly	+6000	1.64%

I think Berube will be in demand and might prefer another team.

I mean, perhaps, but 376% chance he lands here is hard to argue with...

 

[Cosmix]

What if Berube wanted to wait and see what other jobs there were? He did his interview with the Sens and the job was his but he wanted to wait. As the Sens, would you move on to the next guy or risk waiting on Berube and maybe missing out on him and other people? Does this sort of thing even happen?

It does. I suspect that the "best" available coaches have been contacted by other teams who are contemplating a coaching change but cannot make it because they are in the playoffs.

If an available coach refuses to sign now and wants to wait, I would be suspicious of his motives and sign someone else who I like.

SEATTLE going for Brind'Amour


Dave Hakstol a fit for Sens?

Hearing Travis Green maybe a prime candidate....

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I heard he doesnt want to do it anymore.

I think he'd be a decent option

Looks like i have bad info haha. Granted these two rumors came from different sources. Id prefer Julien personally.

At age 64, he might be more interested in taking it easy in a consulting role. Does he still live in Ottawa?

Brother you best be kidding this time

I was surprised when I saw that the other day... I hope we give him a shot. If they want to continue what Jacques started he's the guy imo

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

I wouldn't hate Green. He had some great players in Vancouver but the bottom half of his lineup was atrocious. Looks even worse in hindsight than it did at the time.

Sorry but hope not, his leaf stench is still lingering...

Wonder if it has to do with the flat cap. So hard to change your roster, not so hard to fire the coach (and no cap on coach spending)

Good point

It’s actually hilairious how much less patient other teams are with their coaches than we were with DJ.

Honest question: did Dorion even have the $$ funds available to change the coaching staff ?

Weren't the Sens & The Melnyk Estate borrowers from the NHL EMERGENCY FUND - just to sign Giroux & "prop up" the Team & ready it 'For Sale ' ??

ewwwwwwww please no

 

[Loach]

ewwwwwwww please no

I forget were I saw it, somebody said "Travis Green looks like Mark Ruffalo on a butter I V." Now when anybody brings up Travis Green I chuckle.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Green definitely wouldn't be my first choice.

Wasn't gifted a stacked roster in Vancouver but they underperformed pretty significantly during his tenure.

 

[Crosside]

I read somewhere today that a team gonna give 7m year for a coach. I predict Rod to Seattle with his friend Francis

IMO, If the Sens want an experienced coach like Bethune, they’ll have to pay a premium. Toronto might need a new coach and we might have to outbid them.

Does Staios' salary limit the options for a new coach?

What is Staios' salary? Anybody know?
