JBB and Co. sure earning their money's worth (no pun intended) on this one

Having it front loaded was smart but surprised with the NTC, not a fan of that.

So, if I got this right, here's every HC change since the season ended:

New York Islanders: Barry Trotz → Lane Lambert

Vegas Golden Knights: Pete DeBoer → Bruce Cassidy

Philadelphia Flyers: Mike Yeo → John Torterella

Dallas Stars: Rick Bowness → Pete DeBoer

Florida Panthers: Andrew Brunette → Paul Maurice

Chicago Blackhawks: Derek King → Luke Richardson

Detroit Red Wings: Jeff Blashill → Derek Lalonde

Boston Bruins: Bruce Cassidy → Jim Montgomery

Winnipeg Jets: Dave Lowry → Rick Bowness

That leaves just the Sharks without a HC. I'd guess Brunette.

Yeah, me neither, but it's only a full NTC for the first 4 years, after that it's limited JIC things go sour

1) Mtl - Wright
2) Devils - Slaf
3) Arizona - Cooley
4) Seattle - Jiricek
5) Philly - Gauthier
6) Columbus - Nemec
7) Sens - Kasper
8) Wings - Savoie
9) Buff - Kemell
10) Anaheim - Nazar
11) San Jose - Lekkerimaki
12) Columbus - Geekie
13) Isles - Lambert

There’s a couple… questionable hires here

Fixed it

I still think they’ll take the next Devon Toews

#NYR forwards Ryan Strome and Andrew Copp both intend to hit the free agent market on July 13, per @NYP_Brooksie.

The Winnipeg Jets and veteran coach Rick Bowness are working on finalizing his agreement to be the next coach of the Jets. This will end a thorough interview process for the @NHLJets that began with Barry Trotz as the target. Experience a key factor here.

Lmfao no way 😭

I still think they’ll take the next Devon Toews

I think Mateychuk is the next Devon Toews. Korchinski is more dynamic. My preference if they choose to go D is Mateychuk but I wouldn’t mind Korchinski

If Korchinski works with a coach who helps him on D, (he already has the size and the offence), he could be a stud. A top pairing 2 way D for sure

Jets hire Bowness 😂😂😂

Bedard, Scheifele and Dubois will all want out of Winnipeg in the next couple of years 💀💀💀

Hot takes for next year:

1. Blake Comeau signs a PTO with the Jets, first practice, Scheifele nails him like he did to Evans and Comeau's career ends there. After that Cheveldayoff hires Bowness as the new head coach, bringing him to end his coaching career where he started it. Soon after, he hires Comeau as his assistant coach/right hand man. They immediately start bullying Scheifele by not playing him much minutes (EV and PP), he requests for a trade not long after and is traded to some random team like Columbus joining his buddy Laine. After that they finish dead last and get to pick Bedard which he replaces Scheifele, Bones retires and Comeau takes over as head coach, soon after Bedard quits the team and signs with some random team like the Jackets and joins his former Jets buddies.

2. Cole Caufield wins a fight.

3. Johnston finishes 5th in Stars scoring and is in the top 3 for the Calder.

4. William Nylander has more PIM than Milan Lucic.

5. Kaprizov wins the Rocket Richard and is a nominee for the Hart.

6. Gurianov busts out and scores 30 goals, and finishes 6th in Stars scoring.

7. Without Bowness, Miro explodes in production and gets nominated for the Norris, but loses it by 1 vote to Makar.

8. Some grit grinder like Boucher is picked in the top 15 by a team that's considered good at drafting.

9. The Stars make the playoffs by the slimmest of margins with a them having 1 more GF them the team next to them, that goal was scored by none other than Jake Oettinger.

10. Arizona finally relocates to Houston.

11. The Flyers sign Chara to replace Yandle.

12. Yzerman doesn't laugh in your GM's face .

13. Guerin trades Fiala to the Kraken for some odd reason, and fleeces them by getting their pick this year plus other small assets.

14. The Wild fan with 1 million accounts will become like another famous CF user and start using this: . Guerin laughs in your face , will be the new Wild slogan.

15. Mike Smith pulls the lacrosse move on Zegras.

Already penciling in Cogliano-Lowry-Comeau as the third line. https://t.co/BZsyVnOZyP
