I just think he has run his course.

I say this to my friends a lot lately. Most coaches have a shelf life. ESP in hockey, coaches hardly make it 5 years. Only the pens and bolts coaches have longer tenure. I think the leafs coach is around the same time as rod. The average life span of an NHL coach is 2.2 years, I had to Google it. With consistent playoff flame outs and this year, it’s getting time to really consider if Rod should be our coach. Florida won the Presidents trophy one year and fired their coach midway through the next year then proceed to lose in the cup finals and win it the next year. Rod has been a godsend for us. Took us out of being basement dwellers but think this is far as he can go. Unfortunately this cheap ass organization isn’t helping either. Maybe Waddell saw something and that’s why he left for a worse team.  

I think Rod has lost the team. His style is taxing and clearly guys aren’t playing it on the ice.  They are playing a super soft version of it which is worse than playing any other way. I said last year that the canes should consider switching from man defense to zone. We don’t have the players to play man, esp this year. They are small and the big guys like KK, Svech, Burns, are playing soft and small. I don’t know, it’s just not fun to watch like it was the past 4 years.  Our game threads would light up each game with excitement. Hell I used to be Mr Positive all the time. That’s even gone. Something in that organization needs to change.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
