Yes, Fitzgerald is the only fanboy GM in the NHL.The only consolation for a Ranger fan on the coaching front is the Devils strong year and win over the Rangers convincing them to keep Ruff.
Yes, I think Drury went to BU, if memory serves. With Brunette gone, I hope Brylin gets the job.Mr Clean blows
Would love to see Brylin get the job. Really liked him as a player.Yes, I think Drury went to BU, if memory serves. With Brunette gone, I hope Brylin gets the job.
Agreed. Sarge needs to be the pick. I hope he succeeds Ruff when he retires. I say that because Fitz would never fire him.Would love to see Brylin get the job. Really liked him as a player.
How did Brylin do as the top assistant in Utica two seasons ago?Agreed. Sarge needs to be the pick. I hope he succeeds Ruff when he retires. I say that because Fitz would never fire him.
He was great, in his 8 year's there. Lindy Ruff recently gave Brylin credit with allowing him to change personnel on the fly. It was Sergei in the booth relaying who was playing well. It was Brylin telling Ruff move this guy to the 1st Line or move this defenseman down to the 3rd pair, for example.How did Brylin do as the top assistant in Utica two seasons ago?
Larry Brooks advocating for Patrick Roy now.
Why is Brylin not a candidate or being interviewed?
There are no secrets in professional sports and the NHL, EVERYONE is completely informed about Brylin and what he brings.
No chance he wouldn’t take the Rangers job, high end talent, a world class goaltender and millions of dollars.I think Sarge will be loyal to the Devils organization
Drury won’t offer him the jobNo chance he wouldn’t take the Rangers job, high end talent, a world class goaltender and millions of dollars.
Sarge retired, rather than wear another sweater.
If he never played with Drury, evidently that is disqualifying.Drury won’t offer him the job
He’s never been a head coachThat's fine as a player, but if you want to coach you will take a good offer. If it comes down to the Devils vs. another team, I can see loyalty playing a part..
If it's head coach in the NHL (non-Devils) or being an assistant or AHL head coach, I think he takes the top job.
Yes, I do also. I was just trying to add perspective to Proud's post.That's fine as a player, but if you want to coach you will take a good offer. If it comes down to the Devils vs. another team, I can see loyalty playing a part..

Absolutely no. Kevin Dineen would also be a good candidate. Man those old Flyers have some coaching chops.He’s never been a head coach
Since brunette was poached off the Devils staff, it’s possible Fitzgerald will have Ruff mentor Sarge this year
I don’t think they will fire Kevin Dinesen in Utica and give Sarge the keys
Drury is evidence of the continued influence of Sather in the organization.Answer GM Drury, college connection. He seems like he might turn into FITZ, I.e. another fanboy.
Drury is evidence of the continued influence of Sather in the organization.
Sather likes Drury and they groomed him for the top job, ignored the fact he wasn’t very good at what he did (Hartford was a shit show when Drury was running the minor league operation for the Rangers), and jumped at the opportunity given by events surrounding the Wilson incident to give Drury the GM position.
It’s an opinion that virtually anyone will agree with. Sather stunk at everything but lucked out with Gretzky and Messier.Sather coming into the Rangers organization was one of the worst, long term decision in franchise history. Just my opinion.
He truly believes he is the greatest hockey mind. In reality, he was very fortunate to have a young, and deep core coming into Edmonton at the right time.
I think so too but I wouldn't call it a upset. Florida is legit, especially with The Bobs playing lights out.SCF predictions?
Upset : Florida in 6
Sports books have Vegas a favoriteI think so too but I wouldn't call it an upset. Florida is legit, especially with The Bobs playing lights out.
I still wouldn't call it an upset if Florida won, these two teams are pretty equalSports books have Vegas a favorite
Hopefully he shows signs of offensive capabilities next year in Utica. The physicality is good but he does need to bring some skills as well.Getting back to Stillman, he took 2/ thirds of that teams 1st Line out. I hope he makes the big club soon.
Vegas in 5
I predict he will have the same fate as Darryl Sutter in Calgary.Babcock back in the league with the Blue Jackets.
