Nolan was LaFontaineβs choice to coach a rebuilding team and still keep the work ethic high. When Pat quit, Nolan was hung to dry by Murray, the roster was gutted further by Murray - who ironically was another LaFontaine selection. The entire organization was chaos and no one was on the same page back . Donβt blame Nolan for the roster they gave him or for trying to win with it.

He made round 2 twice out of the 3 and he worked a big rebuild in NJ. They were behind Buffalo when he got there. I voted no but I think he can still coach, and probably better than DG, but why not bring him back in a FO Exec/Hockey Operations capacity? Maybe he can help with pro player acquisition, coaching staff, etc. He would add credibility to the staff.

His shot is fine and is not his problem. He has to decide to play meaner and to be stronger physically. Power just showed good strength taking the puck of our zone to end the period. One armed the puck and our skated two guys. Put him in the weight room and get some muscle on that big frame. Then get him mean and partner him up better. I am not close to giving up on a 21 year old defenseman like him. Sure, he is struggling more this year, they all are for numerous reasons.
