NHL Coaching Carousel 2016

Call it what you want, he was the coach responsible for winning hockey games, a crap load of them. His special teams were the best, his shots against were the best. He gets results ans I wanted to see him here. The playoffs are a different animal, anything can happen, I'd have taken my chance

Serious question. I still don't see the hype about Yeo.  He favours grinders with Icetime from reading Minnesota blogs. We will be outshot every game again.

No we won't. He preaches defence first. Wild fans absolutely loved Yeo. But i couldn't care less what fans think about a position they don't have a clue about.

Minnesota had over 40 wins each of past three seasons and that roster is crap as far as offence goes. They also had Dung goaltending before dubnyk came along.

Yeo has been successful everywhere he has gone. He had a cup as an assistant and has made the playoffs in three out of four years as a head coach.

Boudreau was rotting in the minors at Yeo's age.

Again they aren't his special teams.

Come on. He's the head coach of the team, it all goes through him.

What kind of system does Yeo play? 100 points once and 40+ wins twice is pretty impressive.

He picks the players but the system is designed by assistants.

Maclean was a big reason for their special team success this year.

You don't think a head coach just lets their assistants completely design and execute a system, surely? I think a head coach plays a lot more of a role than perhaps you're giving credit for. He's basically the director for a movie, he has assistants working for him, but he's right in there working with them to get the best results. And the results certainly don't lie IMO.

MacLean had a cup as an assistant too. Like that means anything.

Hartsburg was defence first too. That doesn't mean anything either.

This team has won one lucky playoff series since 2007 but BB lack of deep postseason success is a bad thing? We can't even make the playoffs!

Yeo is just another MacLean, Cameron, Clouston. As long as they fit Eugenes budget they're a candidate.

Maybe we can afford Dallas Eakins.

That's bs. Yeo has already proven he's much more than any of those. He has four years head coaching experience and had winning seasons in each of them.

Yeo reached the ahl final as head coach just like Boudreau.

Yeo is nothing like those guys you mentioned. He's a great coach. Just because he was fired doesn't mean he's bad, you haven't done the research to see why minny didn't do well this her under him. If firing a coach makes him bad then Boudreau is bad too.

It makes total sense to not want to go four years to Boudreau when you have a similar candidate or two. Boudreau is not as good as people are letting on. It's a Cussing coach, not a player. It makes little difference.

Even if you don't want Yeo don't be silly and compare him to coaches with zero experience.

Playoffs?! PLAYOFFS?!?!?!!!!!

Diddle, I think the coach makes a ton of difference.

What kind of system does he run? Defensive?

Facts coming out that we offered same salary but one less year in term...3 vs 4 years? Really that was the difference? I'm so disappointed and concerned in our management group if we couldn't close it because of one extra year. Diddle what era does melnyk think we live in? 3 vs 4 years....3 vs 4 years.....you Cussing kidding me?

I hope it's Yeo now, though Hartley is intriguing to me. No way sutter will come here so ppl need to forget that idea.

Mind boggling.

The biggest edge Boudreau would have had is the big ticket, therefore making him less disposable. This team will respond for one season and then want to take the easy road in Year 2 and a cheap coach will be easy to fire.

Makes sense when the coach is 61 years old and not a playoff performer

Defence first but also about out chancing the opponent apparently
