Jim Montgomery to interview with Florida Panthers

Why would he consider that?

I don't believe he would. He stands a better chance at landing an NHL head coaching position at DU than as an assistant in LA, particularly given that he has already earned 2 interviews for NHL head coach positions while at DU and the Pioneers are going to be loaded next season.

Reports Kings have approached JM about the assistant coach position.

I've read his contract out is for a NHL HEAD Coaching position. Assume there would be a punitive financial charge for an assistant's position.

BTW, Cost of Living in LA-Long Beach-Orange County 25 to 35% higher than Denver.

Head coach salary for LA-Long Beach-Orange County 200-500% higher than Denver.
 
Re: Jim Montgomery to interview with Florida Panthers

You can forget about the LA Kings talk as they hired their assistant coach, John Stevens. Now onward to FLA which is a much better fit with their young players.
 
Re: Jim Montgomery to interview with Florida Panthers

Kiss DUs repeat chances goodbye if he leaves.

Borgstrom, Terry, and Gambrell will all follow him out the door.
 
Re: Jim Montgomery to interview with Florida Panthers

Gambrell will definitely leave if Monty does. Terry would go from 70 percent to stay to 50 percent. He could still use some time to bulk up. Even if Monty leaves, I think Borgstrom stays. He'd have the opportunity to play with a countryman and friend next season.

In my mind, Gambrell has been the biggest flight risk even with Monty at DU.

Interesting. I knew it was supposed to be sometime this week, but I had not seen anything. Did the Twitter source indicate how the interview went?

LetsGoDU.com has a version of the interview, but could be "alternative fact." ;)
