They do appear to have had that “new coach” bump. Guys like Brink, York and Drysdale appear to have taken another step which is huge if this team is to become a perennial contending team. Also quality goaltending has helped.
The comments are fine….but I don’t think it’s right that he is saying them to the media in a public forum. Basically, “he’s not cheating as much”. Behind closed doors these conversations happen every day. They should, because that’s how a 20 yr old learns. Coming from teammates carries much more weight then from a coach….Honestly I think Coots just said a little too much when answering….i think a proper answer is “His game continues to improve on the other side of the puck”. I didn’t think it was that big of a deal….but you mostly don’t hear a player talk about the short falls of another. I don’t remember ever hearing a captain talking about a young players short falls like that….i guess this does preclude us from talking about Cutter Gauthier leading the NHL in goal scoring….so there’s that…lol.
I agree. Both the Sharks and Flyers are working with in the system the way it’s currently constructed. As well pretty sure the contract for Ellis was fully insured…so it’s not like SJ would actually have to pay him any $….its about allowing that franchise to stay above the bottom of the salary cap with out actually spending actual dollars…. For the Flyers it’s clearing space and allowing them to stay away from using LTIR…while maintaining the flexibility.
