hf101 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 I think there is a reason why it has been so quiet on the Flyers search for the next head coach, their main target is currently on a one year assistant coaching contract with the Blackhawks. Kinda convenient I'd say. Hextall needs to wait until the Blackhawks season is over and then there won't need to be any draft picks given up to speak to Dineen. Could this all have been in play last summer? I wouldn't even be surprised if Timonen hasn't played a part in some casual conversation. Dineen deserves a second head coaching gig and I think the Flyers will be that team.
RJ8812 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 To be honest, I'm happy with anyone since Berube has been canned
AlaskaFlyerFan Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 The best coach in the league is (possibly) available. Lets not talk to him so that we can go after a guy who has less than .500 record in his only other NHL head coaching gig. Should have kept Berube. Brilliant!

jammer2 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 I just wait and see what becomes of the Babcock situation...if Dineen signs somewhere else in the meantime...so be it.

It's probably more to the tune of Babcock doesn't feel the need to talk to the Flyers.
AlaskaFlyerFan Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 The chances of getting Babcock are slim Chances are zero if you don't talk to him!
AlaskaFlyerFan Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 I doubt that is the case. It's probably more to the tune of Babcock doesn't feel the need to talk to the Flyers. Babcock is not going to reach out to the Flyers. He doesn't need to. He has offers on the table already. Why wouldn't he want to hear what the Flyers have to offer?
doom88 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Babcock is not going to reach out to the Flyers. He doesn't need to. He has offers on the table already. Why wouldn't he want to hear what the Flyers have to offer?Because they throw money at everything?
jammer2 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Why wouldn't he want to hear what the Flyers have to offer? Um...yeah...why not listen to *the* richest team in the league....you know, the team that is most capable of pushing your offer to new heights...stupid to not involve Philly in this, whether he plans to sign here or not.

jammer2 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 I'm sure Toronto and NYR would have something to say about richest. I've often wondered about that...I know the NYR are part of the huge conglomarate Johnson and Johnson....right? The Leafs are owned (majority) by the Ontario Teachers Fund....who are worth billions through shrewd investments. Are they really richer than Comcast though.....I'm not to sure about that...anyone know for sure?

I think the operating income for the Flyers surely isn't as great as I think it once was. http://www.forbes.com/nhl-valuations/list/
jammer2 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Hmmm, dont really trust this article....cause it should not list Snider, he's not the majority owner anymore....and no Leafs....are they only listing individuals? http://www.therichest.com/sports/hockey-sports/top-10-richest-owners-in-the-nhl/?view=all

Yes i agree i have come to terms with this for over a week now...............................................................................................................welcome aboard!
RJ8812 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Well it's been said that Babcock wants more control over his roster... Do you really think Hextall will allow that? Doubtful
jammer2 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Well it's been said that Babcock wants more control over his roster... Do you really think Hextall will allow that? Doubtful I can't see Holland giving up control of that either....that is really stepping on the GM's toes....I'm sure the Sabres will give him all the control he wants, short of outright making him a GM/Coach dual position guy.
Flyingswede Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 I think Hextall wants control. He wants a string puppet coach. Babcock is not a puppet.

King Knut Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 I think Hextall wants control. He wants a string puppet coach. Babcock is not a puppet.I think the opposite. I think he wants someone smart enough that hextall doesn't have to interfere.
OccamsRazor Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 I think the opposite. I think he wants someone smart enough that hextall doesn't have to interfere.Well he's already had the smartest hockey guy Homer knew....
OccamsRazor Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 But if Berube was the smartest he knew what does that say about the Flyer's current GM? Is that a slap in the face???
FD19372 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Looking at that pic, even Dineen can't believe it! He would be a good choice, although he's an ex-Flyer. All I can say is Hextall better hurry up before Snider appoints himself head coach.
flyerrod Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Dineen can be a solid coach as long as he does not try and run every minute task. I like his defensive skills but it will make much more sense if he keeps Mullen on the PP/offensive brains.
