Release the HAK-en!

I've heard whispers that names like Oshie (grew up in WA) and Toews might be "made available" for the expansion draft because of cap issues in WAS and CHI.

I predict Hak will end up like Galant with VGK: Develop the young talent but be gone in 3-5 years for a more "name" coach.

The same guy who would healthy scratch Oskar Lindblom to play Dale Weise is going to develop young talent?

I have?

Anyway according to both Philly fans and Toronto fans at least 9/10 comments wish Seattle good luck. One said: Hak leading them to lose first will help them build character.

This is Seattle, the Mariners have given us enough character already.

Whether it's a better choice is highly debatable

Hak's record as Flyers head coach (2015-2018) was 134-101-42 over 3+ seasons; what's interesting is Mike Babcock's record was nearly identical over that same stretch and Babcock had much better talent in Toronto and supposedly Babcock is the measuring stick*.


*No, it's Q in Florida.

Babcock is also a well-known verbal and emotional abuser, so there's that. Not sure Hak flipping the bird at Don Adam that one time can quite measure up to Babs' level of "miserable SOB".
