Trettioåtta Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 This is a complete list of all coaches and Gms for other teams and whether or not the team made the playoffs. I am too tired to analyse it now, but my first thought is hope CHiago fail in the playoffs, fire Quenville and pick him up. At some point i will also make a note of when 'stars' arrived at those clubs, to see if that made a difference. I apologise for the messiness of it - i tried to convey a lot of detail Sheet3.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I'd like to see some stats on number of coaching changes and number of gm changes vs number of playoff appearances. Hypothesis being that teams that change coaches/GMs with more frequency are likely to have made less playoff appearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If changing a GM or coach with frequency results in less playoff appearances, which one matter more? New Jersey almost supports the notion that coach doesn't even matter. Or, that having the right coach for a team each year is easier than having a coach try and adapt his plan to his team each year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that NJ is going to be an outlier, but not by much. To better get an understanding, maybe look not just at playoff appearances, but also at how far the teams went with their respective coaches/gms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detroit, Nashville, NYR, and San Jose also support that trend. Buffalo looks to be a situation that is begging for change in one of those positions. The question is, which one might have the greater positive impact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PURE SPECULATION) Maybe Pegula wants to figure out which one leaving would have the greater positive impact, like you said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there has to be someone here with more free time on their hands than me. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dEnnis the Menace Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Updated with playoff depth It shows that Carolina is one weird team. I'm gonna have to look over it more closely when I'm not at work, but that looks pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
