Not shocking.  But had kind of hoped they wouldn't make that move.  They've still got at least 1 other "development" coach pencilled in on Ruff's staff.

Any word on who they might be looking for to take Seth's old job?

This sucks. The honeymoon officially ends.

Adams is definitely going all-in on his belief that he's got the right kids in house, they just need a little better guidance and a couple of other pieces.  (3C, 2W, identity 4th liners)  It COULD work.

Guess Adams straight up lied to reporters about Ellis being moved elsewhere in the organization 

Well, Appert could be the next PP coach.  Pretty sure Adams merely said Ellis wouldn't be running the PP, not that he'd be getting a demotion.  (Though we can always hope REALLY REALLY hard.)

I guess Lindy is the "bad cop"?

Appert has a good history with a lot of these guys. Don't see him as the solution for special teams and accountability.

No NHL experience either. I guess he's got a better resume than Christie.

I thought the biggest positive of the Ruff hire was pulling the franchise from the grips of Terry and Kevy. But this assistant line up makes it clear that Lindy doesn’t even have enough say to hire his own assistants.

What I don’t like about this is, there isn’t a single outside thought in that staff.  Not one, “this is the way we did it here” perspective.

Group thought reigns supreme within this team.
