At least this dreadful season has come to an end. Time to get ready for '15-'16. Hextall has a lot of work to do.

Hexty sure has the assets to turn this thing around quickly. Between the multiple 1st rounders and the youth on the blue line, a little cap flexibility would go a long way.

Hope we win the lottery.

Lots of assets if the young guys pan out but lots of dead weight too.

Already got two stars and a goalie capable enough to win a cup. I think there are reasons to be optimistic.

the babcock stuff will be interesting. clearly wants out of the shithole. leafs will be frontrunners but they're in such a shitty spot. wouldn't be surprised at all if the flyers go all in on him.

Was just discussing this. Flyers will be most attractive team by far

Fuck that. I'd rather keep Berube. I feel like if the Flyers think they have a legitimate shot at Babcock, Berube is gone; otherwise, I would not be a bit surprised to see Chief behind the bench come September.

There are plenty of guys available this off-season, so there's no need for Berube to be back. I'm not thrilled with the way the season went, and despite what happened don't think he's the worst coach in the NHL, but when you have the chance to upgrade, you have to go for it.

With Babcock, Bylsma, Boucher available, and I guess if you even want to throw Tortorella in there, there are plenty of coaches more talented than Chief. The list could go on and on, to be honest.

Berube is the worst coach the franchise has had since Wayne Cashman IMO.

Tons of good coaches available.........Randy Carlye, Boucher, Tippett (probably), Torts, Babcock, Bylsma and even a guy like John Stevens who IMO is going to be very successful after being groomed under Sutter in LA.

There's zero reason to keep Berube with the talented list of coaches looking for a job.

I was kidding about that douche Torts. I would rather keep Chief even though he's not much better and a worse coach.

I completely agree with this. That move was made out of spite and dislike for Mason......i.e. the best goalie the franchise has had since 1987.

He's a moron.

you sure do seem to have a lot of time on your hands to be on this forum? Do you have a job? Are you a shut-in?

I've brought up that last name to a few friends and gotten laughed at. I would be more than thrilled to see Stevens back here.

By the way, Carchidi reports that Hextall is having a press conference on Wednesday at 2 PM to announce Berube's status.
