Get Comtois out of there

Patrick maroon injured subban he’s out for the season.

Buffalo declines.

Remove Comtois and then we can talk

Was looking at prospect and second for Rakell, can do a better one then skinner like Robertson. Comtois for Kravtsov with both needing scenery change

It would be absolutely foolish to trade Comtois

We will trade Eakins to you and Comtois will thrive again

Comtois doesnt need a scenery change, ANA needs a coaching change and Comtois needs to not be coming off of major wrist surgery

Who would you like to see back there behind the bench?

If I could pick anyone it would be Rikard Gronborg, current head coach for the ZSC Lions

Why him? I’m just curious because I have no clue who he is nor who I’d want, therefore trying to get some of the fellas opinions

The style he presents is perhaps the meta for the current NHL. A self-described “hybrid” style that incorporates the free-flowing high-skill aspects of European hockey and the physical brashness of the older North American systems. With hooking and holding largely a thing of the past, teams are now preaching a high-puck possession game and the we can really lean into that style of play given so many of our younger players excel in neutral zone transitional play.

Perhaps most importantly, Gronborg has a reputation for being willing to communicate with his players, both inside and outside of a work-related environment. Something the past administration (Eakins and Murray) failed miserably at

Not to mention he understands the importance of analytics

Greatly appreciate this my man

I’m still trying to fully figure out the analytics myself

Its also worth noting that he took the job with ZSC because the biggest knock on his resume was he only coached Sweden in international tournaments and not a league with a full season. In doing so, he took a team in 10th place, and very little roster turnover, to the top of the standings (16-6-3 record) and an improvement of 28-goals. (These stats are a little dated to be fair)

I really liked him as a choice for the Rangers when they went with David Quinn. I also liked Marco Sturm
