Lavy hired in Nashville.

Well talk about contrasting systems from one coach to the next. I know that is the norm, but this like too extremes...

i'm not super surprised though.. roy will win it hands down, the avs turnaround has been incredible. cooper did a real good job with a very mediocre bolts team while stamkos was out.. and babcock played most of the season with an AHL roster.

all 3 of the candidates are deserving so i'm ok with it.

yep. very curious to see what pekka rinne looks like behind a new system.

I think it should be for the good of that team - even though they made the playoffs more times than not in the past, they never really got any far - Lavy tends to do well with teams early on in his tenure - they have to at least try something different - I still think Pekka is a great goalie regardless and no matter what the system is, having Shea Weber and Roman Josi in front of him shouldn't hurt either

Lavy might be able to help guys like Filip Forsberg and Craig Smith elevate their offensive games - I like those two guys - and maybe Lavy has some input on the roster too, who knows

oh ya, dont get me wrong, i think that's a good hire by the preds, just curious to see rinne. sometimes goalies look phenomenal behind a stout defensive system (a la bryz+tippet, and to an extent lundqvist+torts since it seems to me that vigneault is reaping the rewards of having a bunch of guys that are shot blocking machines because of torts)

Let me just say 10K is a long shot

reduced, due to popular demand. though it was 10,000 that helped the flyers get to the finals a few years ago

you should all feel shame.

11. Pure speculation on my part, absolute guesswork: Paul Holmgren said this week one of the reasons Vincent Lecavalier struggled is because Peter Laviolette, who recruited him, left, and Lecavalier wasn't a fit in Craig Berube's system. Is there a trade fit now that Laviolette is in Nashville? Flyers would probably have to eat a good chunk of his salary, but Holmgren and Poile have a history of getting deals done.

Haha!! How about 2015 posts for a Stanley Cup in 2015?

Edit: Just saw you changed it back to 5,000. I withdraw my suggestion. :lol:

Since we got 1215 on last years 5K isn't unreasonable at all.

very interesting. his 30 thoughts are probably the most interesting NHL-wide blog (?) out there. always seems to have good insight.

also, for weber lovers, more in there about how the predators won't be trading him :nod:
