    So you'd rather have a lame duck coach in the last year of his contract behind the bench?  That would send a great message to the team.

    I guess let me turn this around on you and ask what's the harm in having a "lame duck" behind the bench to start this year?  It would seem that your issue is the message it sends to the team.  IMO, management has already given the team a huge vote of confidence by signing players to extensions (some might even say prematurely signing), so I don't really see him not being signed to start the season as sending a bad message. 

    I see nothing wrong with extending him early/mid season if things are trending the right way.  To me, it just seems early. I think he is likely to be the guy, but you're signing a coach that has presided over pretty bad results to date.  I see what the rest of you see with the progression of the players like Tage and Dahlin, but if there isn't progression like is expected this year in the standings, tides might turn pretty quickly.  If they finish at the bottom of the Atlantic this year (which I don't think is going to happen, but it is possible), are you as glad that you sent a "great message" to the team by resigning early?

    For the geriatrics (me included) on the forum:

    Show out is defined as to attend or be visible. An example of to show out is to attend a specific party when you have several options, you show out for the party. An example of to show out is for a sports player to do something that gets a lot of attention, such as a very high score, he does a show out.

     

    My most sincere apologies, sir.  I did not intend to confuse!  😆

    edit:  I will say that context could've helped in this case, haha.  "it would be nice to see him have a standout day"

    Tough to jump off the screen when you're playing 1 league higher than you should and most everybody else you're on the ice with is in the same boat.

    They don't field a team like that with the intention to NOT compete.  They were looking for guys to step up and shine.  It didn't happen this go around, but there are more preseason games left 🤷‍♂️ 

    I agree though, it can be hard to judge these guys without some more NHL level talent mixed in
