Yup, Petro's agent and Army have more to talk about. According to LeBrun, Poile gave Josi a full No Movement Clause, which I don't believe he's ever done except for Rinne. To be honest I don't know if this deal makes it more or less likely that Petro sticks around.
More likely, IMO....Josi getting just over 9 means that the range for Petro is probably between $8.5-$9. We don't have to worry about the $10M+ type deal of Doughty/Karlsson as comparisons

The Heat in the Bottom 9 of the standings: After seeing SJ losing huge tonight 5-1, made me wonder who will be the first head coaching and/or management casualty this season? I personally think Debaur is done in SJ. so here is my list, from hottest seat to sitting in safety:

1. Peter Deboer, SJ. What a train wreck. See ya dude.
2. Bruce Boudreau, Wild. Never thought he was that great of a coach, and this will be his last season in Minnesota. Perhaps more lizard type players would have helped him?
3. Jim Montgomery Dallas; they made some big moves bringing in leadership and experience, but was that needed? I wouldn't be surprised by both a GM and coaching move in Dallas if they continue to struggle this season.
4/5. Blashill or Hynes; both are in their fourth year as HC of their teams, the Redwings and Devils, and while both are rebuilding, I'd think that management would want to see them both at least competing for a wild card spot and not fighting for worst in the East (and entire NHL) as they are now with 7 and 6 points for their clubs.
6. Jeremy Colliton; 2nd season, and how they handle some of the veterans will be telling, especially if it causes a full on collapse (please!). But the Seabrook situation is interesting, and the longer he sits, and if Colliton starts making enemies of the older core, management will have to make either change to the old core, or the HC. We all know which one costs less...
7/8/9. DJ Smith Senators; David Quinn Rangers, and Todd McLellan Kings; just hired not going anywhere on a rebuilding teams

Your thoughts and/or predictions?

Edit: Good read i just saw about the Sharks...I love their misery, but the article rings true. He's not that good of a coach IMHO either

Good on Svechnikov for pulling off that move but that goalie was sleeping on the play.

Great goal by Svechnikov. I kind of like that Canes announcer, he's pretty good IMO. Hey hey, what do you say...............

Easily one of if not THE most over-rated coach in modern NHL. The offensive explosion of Ovechkin, (Alex) Semin, Backstrom, and (Mike) Green are the main reason this guy is touted as "successful".

Wow! I thought I was the only one. I don’t like his delivery and his canned phrases. I can guarantee you that whoever scores the first goal, he will say that they are “off and running.”
I know a lot of people love him so apparently we are in rare company.

Between Washington and Anaheim, Boudreau won his division 8 straight years besides the year management forced him to change his coaching philosphy 180 degrees because they ran into a remarkably hot goalie in the playoffs. He recorded back to back 100+ point seasons in Minnesota as the roster continued to rot. Boudreau has had talent, but he is a remarkably good coach that will have a job the instant he decides he wants one again if he gets canned by Minnesota.

He will definitely get hired again, no argument there.

The "hot goalie" argument i can't buy in to...the guy is a great regular season coach that allows players to pad their stats but when push comes to shove he is in over his head.

Nothing against him personally, but i hope for the blues' sake he stays in the central division bc thats always 1 less opponent we have to worry about come playoff time.
I hope Snuggerud beats the shit out of Kyrou
