F It. Should have called Torts to see if he was available.
Bowness is a player’s coach so hopefully that helps the Jackets
Wish they would have done this before they traded chinakov
Caps coach is next.
Jackets aren't doing shit this year no matter who they hired.
I can’t think of a more irrelevant franchise, aside from Seattle.
I don’t think that it’s going to make a big difference. Jackets are a few points off of the second wildcard spot. It’s not free fall. It’s just the metro has every team battling for a spot or have improved. Jackets should have gotten a top player in FA if the expectation was high to be a playoff contender and as of now and since the start of the season, they are not good enough to be a contender at all. If they were very serious about competing. Improve the depth and talent. Evason was doing great but the roster could have been much improved by the GM.
Werenski has to be looking for a way out of there.
