Game 62: Capitals @ Maple Leafs, 7:00 CBC

Leadership = score me a 100 points

 

[Tigger]

I want Eakins, but I'd maybe bring in an interim coach and let
Dallas finish out the season with the Marlies, they've had a good run this year and shouldn't be penalised for the big Leafs failures.

If they bring in Eakins I won't be terribly disappointed but if I had to bet money I'd put it squarely on Carlyle's head at this point.

 

[Bullfrog]

The 3 players I definitely keep are Lupul, Gardiner and maybe Gunnarsson.  It's hard to think of names beyond those three that I would really miss. (Grabs would be one if not for his contract status).

So, definitely maybe keep Gunnarsson?

I would also. It's not that I don't think Eakins deserves it either, I just think that the availability of Carlyle changed things, as Burke has already won with him and that the Marlies are developing players right now. I think that is important to maintain.

I don't know if Eakins will be there as he has shown some capability and might get a bump to the show somewhere as a result but it's a good point, continuity of positive development would be a real bonus.

Good points, I wonder if Dallas would take the job as number 2 to Carlysle for a few years or would it be better to keep him in the AHL and risk losing him?
