So is the coaching staff here to stay?

Yeah it's my bet that Pastor Bill is here for the long hall.

He's finally installed his system and has the players playing his system. My bet is that in free agency we'll see more "hard worker/medium skill" type signings than "high skill/average worker" type players.

Steve Smith also has the PK and defense playing at a high level.

Wardo and Dobby look good under coach Dan and Brindy has made us into one of the top face off teams in the league.

What I'm worried about is that we push so hard that we don't get McDavid, Eichel, Strome, or Hanifin, and we end up starting the season off slow again next year.

I sure as hell hope so. we have a talent deficit on this team, or at least we did for most of the first half, but they were a tough out every night. had a lot of trouble scoring goals, and had a lot of 1 goal losses. they look a lot more in control than I've seen a canes team play in a long time. this staff can make a legit contender.

You guys make the coaching staff of one of the worst teams in the league sound way better than what their record indicates. Why is there such disconnect? I think if they were that good, they'd at least have a middle of the pack record.

It took him a while to install his system but once the players bought in the team as a whole has performed well.

The team has played really well since Christmas and since Jordan Staal came back.

Ok well it looked like they were getting hot then went right back to sucking. Are they still safe?

I think he gets one more season, if the team isn't in the playoff hunt at the trade deadline next season, you'll see a full on fire sale and the team will decided to start over with a new era. not involving the Staals.

With Eichel and McDavid in the draft, that's what should have happened THIS season, but the Canes managed to play their way right out of striking distance.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
