@IslesFix Oh, no doubt. My point was only that it's not about investing in a highly touted coach - it's about the right coach for the team. Sutter in CGY, Lavy in NY, Totes in PHI - all night investments that failed miserably

[Dan McCarthy @Dannzzigg]

@IslesFix Depends on the coach and the team. The key is matching the coach to the roster, which they've done

[Dan McCarthy @Dannzzigg]

@LongIsland89532 @stefen_rosner It was his best game of the year too! 😂

[Dan McCarthy @Dannzzigg]

@datadomNY George - blew it, for now
Aitcheson - almost but not quite
Mayfield - terrible
Stanley - try something different
And if it causes some discord? Good. A room needs *some* discomfort, some conflict. They don't need to sing kumbaya. They need to win.

[Dan McCarthy @Dannzzigg]

@IslesTerritory Not *all*
It just doesn't matter

[Dan McCarthy @Dannzzigg]

@HydroToque @JFreshHockey I'd say this is much more true now than 4 or 5 years ago. I think most of you have been beaten down by disappointment over the last several seasons

[Dan McCarthy @Dannzzigg]

@X But you add it unilaterally, even to those who have no interest? Get this thing off my feed.

[Dan McCarthy @Dannzzigg]

@IslesFix I think Butchie is probably past the point of returning

@RTaub_ Loved that orange jersey

@DailyFaceoff @JLazzy23 @Rupper17 @bet365ca Love the show guys!
Everything I heard and read makes me doubt he'd be a fit for the #Isles or DeBoer. They can afford a 1yr prove it deal, but I'm sure Laine would get a better offer elsewhere

[Dan McCarthy @Dannzzigg]

@Wew424Only @IslesGirl3 And if he did, it would be exhibit 1A as to why it would be right to NOT make him Captain. Not that any of this is even a possibility, but that would be incredibly selfish. A Captain must put the team first. Storming off like a child because he didn't get named Captain? Really?

[Dan McCarthy @Dannzzigg]

@thefirstnoel19 My fave #Isles 3rd!

[Dan McCarthy @Dannzzigg]

@stefen_rosner Really trying not to get my hopes up. The optimist and realist within me are battling each other hard

[Dan McCarthy @Dannzzigg]

@stefen_rosner It would be 100% understandable if Sorokin decided to sit this one out if the same D is going to play in front of him tomorrow.

[Dan McCarthy @Dannzzigg]

@Kevin__McIntyre @Rupper17 Two things can be true
Isles D isn't exactly fantastic.
AND
Schaefer is.

[Dan McCarthy @Dannzzigg]

@stefen_rosner I think these might be the best usage of the guys I've seen yet

[Dan McCarthy @Dannzzigg]

@IslesTerritory Too conditional for an easy answer
Buy if the price is right (not trading Aitcheson or Eklund)
If I don't buy, then I see if someone overpays for one of Lee or Pageau
If neither of those happen, I'm ok with standing pat

[Dan McCarthy @Dannzzigg]

@Matt_4488 Ignoring all the other reasons why this would never happen - he also doesn't fit the style of play that the isles play. He's also not fast enough to play their style. From a strictly hockey standpoint, I don't think it's a good fit. And, as you said it would never happen anyway

[Dan McCarthy @Dannzzigg]

@Scrollhub99 @NHL History is trying to keep up with Schaefer

And falling behind quickly
