Any team STARTING a rebuild, flush with young players would be smart to hire him

Bitter-sweet. They plateaued, but you're spot on that he developed a lot of the players they needed developed.

I think Ruff will get all of the buzz from the fanbase and if Carolina doesn't do well, I can see people connecting Brind'Amour with Adams, but they need something different.

Pegula has to want to pay someone tho.

Very good point. Ruff and Brind'Amour would be bigger moves (although I don't think Ruff would cost much), but I am going to set myself up for Appert or Ellis.

If it's Ellis, I am done

Sadly, I could see it. It is a textbook Pegula move. One of my coworkers just mentioned Peca as an option. It would check several boxes except experience and urgency.

Pegula HAS PAID plenty of ppl
And there’s ZERO evidence this is an issue

If i actually believed you I’d cheer for it to be Ellis
Your CONSTANT negativity is just absurd

I would kms. Did Adams say "NHL experience" or "NHL Head Coach Experience" in his presser the other day. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE NHL HC EXPERIENCE; only guy Id say MAYBE to would be Peca
