Who follows Rivera to DC?

It's unknown which assistants are under contract and which ones aren't, but I imagine anyone who really wants to follow Rivera to DC may not be blocked from doing so.

Of course, he has to want them as well.

OL Coach John Matsko, TE Coach Pete Hoener, Sam Mills III and the much beloved Eric Washington were here for Rivera's entire coaching tenure. Do they go with him?

What about guys Rivera gave opportunities to like Richard Rodgers and Chase Blackburn?

As far as prior staff, Steve Wilks and Al Holcomb are available, among others.

So who do we think he steals (or relieves us of, depending on your perspective)?

Has the entire staff been relieved yet?  If so, I haven't seen anything.  I'm assuming they are going to put some front office pieces in place and collectively make decisions on Ron's old staff.  I can tell you now, outside of Sammy Mills III, there better not be one defensive staff member retained.  When the defense largely quit on this team, the staff did not hold them accountable.  You want to tank?  Then bench under performing divas and get some young guys in there.  Send a message AND get some young guys game reps.

Addressed this elsewhere. You don't have to release them. Assistants are generally on short contracts, and given that Rivera was on the hot seat, possibly even shorter.

Plus it's not like we have anybody that you'd expect to be all that desirable for the next head coach. I imagine anyone who wants to defect will be allowed to do so.

Well then, bye Falica(s)!  This staff lost the locker room, and if that's not the case, it sure as heck looked like it from the outside.  Plus all the grumbling that's coming out of the players the past few day...it's going to take a brand new staff, with no cozy relationships, to demand excellence out of this bunch!

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
