Cool, so some crappy/cap friendly team can't just throw out a number knowing Wilson wouldn't want to to play there, but make us pay it.. Makes sense. :wackysmile:

However, I do think Holts isn't given enough credit for maturing. This feels like old water at this point. Like yes, when Trotz and co first showed up Holtby had a lot of goalie coach problems and re-figuring himself out to do. But that was 4 seasons ago. He's had Vezinas, deep playoff runs, clutch playoff performances, and now a Cup sense then.
At a certain point Holtby is going to turn into a Marty Broduer type here, and be the type of goalie that doesn't need to be babysat to help carry his team. I guess I just don't think Korn is nearly as important as he used to be, specific to Holtby.

I was thinking, (to say this is sarcastic fiction is an under statement), I’d be dam cool if they gave Korn the head coaching job. . . He could still work with Holts for a few minutes a month and train his replacement goalie coach so we’d another elite goalie coach. He could also design a goalie based based system to not only protect him from shots, but he could also assist in identifying the weakness of the other goalies and have a system that can be adjusted to take the shots specifically at them.
Now they already do this, but a position coach does not have the power to adjust the system and game plan of a head coach.
Now this sounds interesting and all, but it would never happen. Particularly here.
Besides, I can think of a Goalie coach that’s been made a head coach. Hell Roy is the former goalie to have a head coach job that I can think of . . .
But like I said this is just a “what if”

I've always wondered why more goalies hadn't become head coaches. Who sees more of what happens on the ice than the goalie. You can see plays developed from the goalie position. An exgoalie that I think would make a good coach is Kelly Hrudey. He seems to really know the game inside out.

Exactly. i can only speculate a goaltender coach is such a specialized position that movement to even assistant is difficult and/or rarely desired.
Or maybe the cliche term “Goalie World” is true for most. Hell Ron Hextall is the only one I can think of that is in the force office.
