I do like the MacLean option.

For one example, the article on TSN doesn't do a good job of encapsulating why Nolan was really fired. So people, mostly unfamiliar with the situation, read something that isn't there- that he was used as a scapegoat or we fired him because the team sucked. This is reflected by the comments section, which are really misdirected this time around. More than normal. We didn't fire Nolan because the team was bad. The team was supposed to be bad. We fired Nolan because we want a better coach next year. During the press conference, Murray owned the team's poor performance, especially after the trade deadline. He's not looking for a scapegoat. He's trying to lead the charge to better personnel behind the bench.

I haven't figured this one out. My leading theory is nostalgia. Some Edmonton fans have already indicated an interest in Nolan as a coach who "can get the most out of his players."

Might as well get this one going. It's probably safe to say that Mike Babcock, whose contract status for next year is unresolved, is of interest to many Sabres fans and many NHL GMs alike. GMTM has worked with Babcock in the past. Who else is available and worth talking to?

You should have a doctor take a look at that malapropism.

There's a 45% chance McDavid goes to one of BUF, ARI, or EDM an a 55% chance he goes to one of TOR, CAR, CLB, NJD, PHI, SJS, COL, FLA, DAL, BOS, LAK. Between the first three, obviously I want the win. Otherwise, between EDM and ARI, I'd prefer EDM. Let's have EDM finally be good again- they're a good hockey market. I know they've had a lot of chances, but they've got a real chance for a truly special offense and they can move their underperformers for a good supporting cast (read: defense, goaltending). Let the Dogs get Hanifin and move to Seattle. From the rest of the pack, DAL, BOS, and LAK are immediately right out. DAL shouldn't win anything ever. BOS can off. LA is too good to deserve a higher pick. Others that can also off: TOR, CAR, PHI. I don't want TOR to finally get some leadership and then horsewhip us in the ACC for a decade. CAR can generally off, but is especially noted here because they won't show up no matter who's playing. PHI is a clowny franchise right now and I want them to wallow in it for a few years more. NJD needs a youth revolution, but making McDavid play the trap would be a horribly boring waste of his talents. Nope. This leaves CLB, SJS, COL, FLA. I'm generally ok with any of these. However FLA has approximately one fan, and he hasn't been to a game since Pavel Bure won the Richard. They might as well lock McDavid in a closet somewhere. I think since the effective death of Doug MacLean, the Blue Jackets are following Nashville's model for success. McDavid could boost that nicely. SJS is a little too good to deserve a boost like McDavid, but they're distant conference-wise from Buffalo. Thornton's time is likely up and they're in need of some youth. I'm pretty much indifferent to Colorado, who made a boneheaded move by separating Statsny and Landeskog in the name of the mighty dollar. Maybe a superstar would convince and enable that franchise to spend a little cheese. Overall probability that I don't end up pissed off: 50.5% And I think that's pretty good odds.

Second assist from J. Christ on that one.

Good post, thanks for coming. :beer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wR99iTgKedc

Alright, alright. I posted this typo quickly while at work and I have a debilitating cold, you turdburger-wearing Hanifin-wanters.

I did my part.

I'm strangely ok with this.

I'm indifferent. On one hand, he was dealt some cards. On the other hand, we owe him nothing (short of compensation for this contract and a hearty "Thank You") and there's potentially better coaching options out there. Would I like Babcock? Sure. Would I be heart broken if that doesn't/can't happen and Nolan's here next year? Nope.

Doan isn't what he used to be, but I have a hard time believing that a replacement player is better.

Discuss!

I've seen that show. It's better than a lot of reality TV.

Columbus wrecked the Leafs last night 5-0, so we got that going for us, which is nice. The Blue Jackets are 9-0-1 in their last ten, only losing a point to the President's Trophy Winner Rangers. Since the trade deadline, they are 14-2-1. They have won their last five straight at home.
