Looks like Shawzie is excited about it. He is "jacked up". Mark Eaton has nice things to say too. |

I want to see if he is going to get to pick his own staff or is the "ORG" going to pick it for him.

If I'm not mistaken, the former GM started picking the assistants when he wanted Q to get out of the (Mike) Kitchen

I like the hiring. I think he’ll be ok. Just sucks to take over a team that’s falling apart. We won’t see what he can do until it’s much later down the road or it’s too late!!!

I think this squad affords richardson the perfect opportunity to show what he can do. Kind of unrelated but look at brunette. Do we really know what kind of coach he is? |

Have they hired a new video coach yet? Seems to me that would be vital for training the younguns. Whoever does the choosing, better run a background check!

I don’t think any coach is going to do much with the Hawks. I guess that’s my point. Brunette I’d say right now is not ready. He even admitted in his presser after the playoff debacle that he learned a lot and was looking for ward to next year to prove he can do it. But they went a different direction!!! |

Matt Meachem has been the video coach for 9 years now. 2013 I was under the impression that Brad Aldrich was the video coach. Apparently he was A video coach, or an assistant. What is the structure of the video dept?

I hope you’re joking? There’s no way you don’t know. And why would you bring up a shit head from over a decade ago? Especially with what rocked the hockey world!!! |

His name's been brought up here likely dozens of times the last couple years. Cut the guy some slack. We're not all experts here. |

He even admitted in his presser after the playoff debacle that he learned a lot and was looking for ward to next year to prove he can do it. But they went a different direction!!! I believe much the same. The coaches are only good if the players are good. The players win the championships, and the coaches and the managers get the credit. The players are terrible, and the coaches and managers get fired. This team is about to clean house and start over - at least that's what you and I hope. If so, there will little for Richardson and his coaches to work with in the short term. They can teach and stress defensive-zone fundamentals - and certainly that's what a young team needs. But so can so many other coaches - including the Hawks' previous guinea pig, Trent Yawney. Primarily what is needed is an infusion of quality young players who are willing to listen and make the sacrifices. Acquiring these players will require both good scouting but more importantly good luck and circumstance. It will take time - perhaps a decade or even longer. Richardson likely has about three years. My guess is that he is well gone before the Hawks show any sign of life. When the team has the next set of pieces in place, the established Big Names (Scotty Bowman, Joel Quenneville) will circle around like vultures and seize the opportunity (and the glory). |

Lotta great squads never won a cup or won one when they found an easier route,at least we got ours! The Avs were destined this year IMO but if Bednar doesn't stay with Kuemper,things coulda went sideways and resulted in one more TB win and the Avs wanted no part of a game seven. The high scoring Avs only saw eight regulation goals in the last four games after putting up a 7 spot in game 2 against a worn out team and that's an adjustment on the part of TB's staff and that adjustment gave TB a chance to win all four of those games.......a HC can do no more than that. Do good teams hire the best coaches? In every sport! |

What will get me "chills" is a team that is well coached, disciplined, fundamentally sound, hard to play against, plays with effort, passionate and most of all we as fans can be proud of. |

What I want to see is a team groomed to be much much harder to play against. I’m not a fan of the last regimes strategy of trying to be nice guys and not hurt feelings. They need to get out there and play like it actually means something. Stick up for each other.
I love how Turk got Vegas playing. And how he’s got the Rags playing. It’s hilarious how bad the Hawks played. There was never any intensity to this team.
Trust me, I’ve 💯 bought into the full rebuild. But I do have to ask the question of how good would this team be with a real coach and a GM who has a plan and could probably build a roster. What could’ve been.
I’m destroyed a bit thinking of the possibilities that could have happened. Now it’s over and the careers of the duo have been largely wasted. Basically that whole 8 year contract was a wash. Pisses me off to think of that!!!

I want to see all that as well even in a team that has little chance of being competitive. I' m interested in how any player, especially bubble types, who survives the summer to make it into camp reacts under a new set of eyes. Better show up in shape and ready to work. Wonder who his assistants will be and whether he has the autonomy to pick his own team. |

Pisses me off to think of that!!! I always thought the roster last yr was better under a different coach than JC. If you take out the dismal start, they were hovering just above .500 hockey. I defend King for how hes done but hes not the answer. Imagine the same roster with a better coach than those two? They could have been a playoff team. (Whether thats good or bad is another debate) |

I agree they would have been better under virtually any other coach than JC - but a playoff team? Not so sure about that - lots of holes at the various positions.

I can’t imagine Luke doesn’t get to choose his assistants with a rubber stamp from KD - just to make sure someone controversial doesn’t get in.
