Making an assumption based on the idea of having a new coach. 
 

id expect 5 or 6 changes in top 12 and one pairing on defense being different and a new goalie if rod isn’t back. 
 

if he is, probably keep as much as possible from this team as they can. 

 

 

I'm on board with a new coach..... I just think if you make that assumption you are likely to be disappointed.

But unlike the other professional teams In Carolina , the hurricanes actually go to the playoffs every year

And squander talent.

Amen...

Maybe watching us lose another series because our goalies suck will finally lead us to actually going after a goalie that doesn't suck...

Also, somebody tell Freddie to close his 5 hole for me. How he gets beat on a wrap around 5 hole is beyond me...

For those asking who a new head coach would be, if they aren’t going with a guy who already has a Stanley cup ring, what’s the point? So it’s Craig Berube or Joel Quennville. I think you stick with Rod with a retooled roster next season. If it’s the same result it’s time for a fresh look.

We should trade for Shesterkin lol

my prediction - if Rod comes back they will not sign Guentzel, he will go to a system where he can flourish

The problem is Rod's system has proven not to work in the playoffs and he has proven that he is overly loyal to veterans and won't make adjustments to his system...

He's the type of coach that will succeed in the regular season (like he has), but likely won't in the playoffs unless his players Play above their level. 

Agreed that there aren't many options that I know of available, but I'd rather do the change now than wait another 2 years to realize the same thing

Does rod take a one year deal when he refused to sign til all of his assistants get paid and raises??? 
 

I don’t think so. Why I think he’s gone now

I doubt guentzel comes back, no matter who our coach is.

That would mean we only offer a 1 year deal, but he has had 6 chances already. We already know how far we can get with him and his assistant. He has to let go of them to see how far we really can go, but its not going to happen. We are in coach purgatory.

Sucks is an understatement. I honestly don't think we would have allowed much more goals had we just played empty net the entire game
