I believe Deboer was incorrect in how he handled the Ottinger issue. As of today, he still has not talked to the goalie, per sporting news sites. I’ve always like Deboer as a coach, but I’m not sure why this has happened like it has. Perhaps he’d like to see this goalie get traded, even with the lengthy contract just being signed. Trade Ottinger to Philly for either of the Russian goalies (Fedotov or Kosolov); I’m sure Flyers fans would be ecstatic.
