He does. No question about that. But I wouldn't want him as a rookie Head Coach.
I donT want ANY rookie head coach. As an assistant HC, I think he would be amazing. Truly.
He's an incredible stats guy and hugely knowledgable about the game in general. He has the experience and is a Caps legend.
BUT.
Being a HC isn't just about facts and figures, is it. Its about PEOPLE. It's about the players. Every single one of them. And every single one of them is differrent, unque and has to be treated as such. A stick might work for one, a carrot for nother and every single permeantation in between....
And then you've got to figure out the other team....
Being a head coach isn't aout facts and figures and routines. The reason Trotz was so good was because he understood people and chemistry.
I believe Alan May is a very personble... um ... well. person. ...but I think he's too clinical and factual to LEAD a team.
Surreylily:
To add
What we need is an EXPERIENCED coach. Think "herding cats"...Wrangling egos.
We need a coach that the players believe in and that belives in THEM. Individualy and collectively AS A TEAM.
You show me a coach out there that is availble, that can do that?
I would give one year of my life to get Trotz back here. :hearts:

Laviolette has experience.. I'd take Alan May as a filler as well.
