So now we're hiring a coach because of Clarkson's ridiculous contract?

I think he's considered a very good coach. If NJ had any measure of luck (seriously, 0-13 in shootouts is just crazy) or offensive skill they would probably be near the top of the Eastern Conference.

The author of the article attached above is making excuses for why DeBoer had a losing record in New Jersey....
* The loss of the team?s two best forwards in consecutive seasons.
* The Martin Brodeur headache he was handed this season, a combination of fading star?s hungry ego and the acquisition of his replacement with one year left on Marty?s contract.
* The fact the players led DeBoer?s team to an 0-12 record in the shootout, which is the reason we?re not talking about where the Devils are seeded in the tournament now.
Yeah......He'd fit in well in Toronto.

He's been referred to as the anti-Carlyle by some of the guys on TSN, so, I'm good. He's very focused on puck possession and isn't afraid to look at the advanced stats.

I don't have a particular coach in mind, no, but, DeBoer definitely sounds like the type of coach the Leafs need.

Excuses don't have to have a negative connotation. Can also be an explanation. The odds of going 0-13 in the shootout is something like 1/1000. It's awful luck. He's had the team playing very well, they simply lack offensive weapons. They have great possession numbers, but that can only take you so far when you can't finish your chances. It is suggestive of a solid system.

I dunno... the fact you're still on about it suggests something??

It might be the first time in his career he'd coach a team that had quality goaltending.
