Right now I'd rank him as our fifth "best" goal scorer ever, but climbing.
Rocket
Guy
Shutt
Richer
Cole
I think he'll end up 3 or 4 on this list when he's done here. Shuttie was a "garbage collector" but that's still a skill.
I’m referring to MSL, obviously. I think he’s safe until the new year but if there’s no improvement once Laine is back . . . might be time to get ready for Pascal Vincent, or someone else.
Looks like four first round hits (Slaf, DR and Demidov) and one miss (Mesar), a likely 55-58 game starting goalie (Fowler), a third line center (Beck), another top 6 forward acquired via trade (Laine), two solid third line wings (Newhook and Roy), and a steal with Hutson. Solid work. Need to add...
Which is amazing considering that my son has played against him and his '08 Mid-Fairfield Jr. Rangers team (his younger son plays on that team) twice in the last 8 months - lost both times but by a goal. Can't tell if he can coach pros, however.
