Re: How long before Eveason gets shitcanned?
Is it a coaching issue? Or talent issue?
Evason has talked about how he wants his team to shoot more, but that doesn't mean the team can actually score when they do.
Lotta missed open nets it seems when the Wild do actually try to take a shot.

Re: How long before Eveason gets shitcanned?
LOL...Louie kept harping on the Wild for not shooting enough! IMO the bottom line is this current version of the Wild just simply is lacking in talent. Kirill, Boldy, Ek, Spurg, Brodin....beyond those 5 the Wild players are basically average to below average and that includes the goaltending.(Brock is a step in the right direction but it's too small of a sample size right now to proclaim just how talented he is or will be). The cap issue is KILLIN this team and although I still support BG, my support for him is starting to wane.LwnmwrMan222 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 10, 2023 3:46 pm Is it a coaching issue? Or talent issue?

Re: How long before Eveason gets shitcanned?
I don't think Guerin hamstrings a new coach with a team forced to be $14.7M under the cap for two years. I think Evasion is here through the next new year.

Re: How long before Eveason gets shitcanned?
HEY...we kinda agree on something!! I think unless Dean loses the respect of the players or makes continuous coaching mistakes his job is safe for now. I haven't heard a lot of negativity towards him and I do like the intensity he shows behind the bench. This salary cap hell is all on BG and us success starved fans are counting on his "master plan" paying off as soon as Zach and Ryan's contracts are off the books...

Agreed. I'd think he gets to coach through (or at least into) the first year where the team has the full cap to work with.

I think that when this cap hell concludes in 1.5 years, that we'll look at last year's team as over-achievers. I have pretty low expectations for this year and next (relative to last year).

Re: How long before Eveason gets shitcanned?
And yet Guerin is re-signing most of them.

Evason may need to go, but not without Guerin.

Re: How long before Eveason gets shitcanned?
Honestly I have no idea what the draft looks like this coming year, but I've said in a previous thread that this feels like the perfect year to be bad enough to get a top 5 pick. Get a young cheap star to build around with Kaprizov, then in a few years you get Wallstedt, cap relief and some of the other prospects in the system will be ready to go at that time. One year (this year) of poor play, followed by a year or two of competitive rebuild, then in year2 or 3 hopefully a top team in the West. This year is bad, but I think we've all seen a season like this coming for a few years now.

Perfect choice for new head coach. Evason was not the problem.

I’m not sure who else is available, but Hynes’ NHL coaching record certainly seems far short of stellar. He’s another crony from GMBG’s background apparently.LwnmwrMan222 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 27, 2023 5:02 pm Perfect choice for new head coach. Evason was not the problem.
I’m not against the firing, to me Dean seemed to be drowning lately, and of course it’s easier to get rid of the coach than it is to clear out the roster, especially with all of the no movement clauses. As far as Bob W, he was the PK coach of the worst PK we’ve ever seen.

Coach is gone. Now all responsibility falls on BG.

I saw him interviewed the other day and my first thought was ...this guy is close to being fired.

Re: How long before Eveason gets shitcanned?
Yep, Dean obviously the fall guy for BG and will be interesting to see how the players react to the change....several of them should be ashamed of themselves for their production up to this point.

Re: How long before Eveason gets shitcanned?
Only option for a team with no production and even less confidence.
I hope this doesn't get in the way of a top 5 pick.

Re: How long before Eveason gets shitcanned?
I'm fine with the firing, but fucking A why do the owners keep hanging onto Guerin? Also the replacement is the type that will be just good enough to fuck them out of a lottery pick.

Somehow BG has convinced Leipold that his master plan is going to work and that it will just take time.

Re: How long before Eveason gets shitcanned?
They just rattled off two 100 point seasons, one $12.7M under the cap. The stands have been full.
This is the first year BG is showing a chink in the armor, IMO.

Re: How long before Eveason gets shitcanned?
Those 100-pts imho were a bit of a mirage. Those teams were not built for the playoffs and they've never had sustained success in net which you have to have in crunch time.
On top of that he added in some bloated contracts that will make it very difficult for them to deal for more talent.

Re: How long before Eveason gets shitcanned?
The bloated contracts are my biggest concern. Just when you start to see a glimmer of light at the end of the salary cap hell tunnel BG goes and signs Freddy, Marcus, and Ryan to unnecessarily long contracts...just no need for that with those guys.Slap Shot wrote: ↑Tue Nov 28, 2023 4:46 pmThose 100-pts imho were a bit of a mirage.

Re: How long before Eveason gets shitcanned?
Did i miss the parade for these 100 point seasons? The fans showing up are almost a given for MN hockey.
I don't follow pro hockey enough to know why or who sucks. I didn't think zach and ryan was a good move esp for that money.

Re: How long before Eveason gets shitcanned?
Unless BG gets a team to the finals or wins a cup within 2 years after those contracts expire it will go down as the worst move in Wild hockey history, and one of the worst moves in NHL history. If those guys only had a year or two left on their deals and were THAT cancerous to the locker room then MAYBE you do it. If they were THAT bad then it's a GM's job to sit both of them down and deal with the problem man to man and do your best to get them to understand what the problem was (maybe this took place). Zach and Ryan ended up being the winners here as they continue to collect massive paychecks from the Wild AND some nice spending money from Dallas and the Islanders (although it looks like it is over for Zach). The losers end up being the 18,000 that come every game to support the team, a team severely weakened due to the moves from their GM.Sellingguy wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 9:20 amDid i miss the parade for these 100 point seasons?
