MSL or Rod Brind'Amour?

Actually, I didn't answer. For all we know, he would have won a Cup by now with that team. Habs with all their injuries have been over performing since St-Louis is there.
All I've been saying is that it is stupid and dishonest to compare both coaches records considering the difference in talent level between the teams.
I'm not even taking a stand on who I would want as coach in a few years from now when the Habs will be potential contenders. Ask me again in a few years.

Elite at getting the expected results and underachieving a bit so far, despite quite a bit of kicks at the can.
It's worth mentionning that the OP considered Kirby Dach a developpmental minus for Martin St-Louis in 23-24.
Going from there, it's reasonable to assume this thread wasn't started in good faith, and if it somehow was, it's then reasonable to assume that individual probably shouldn't be taken seriously.
Please, don't act like an enabler.

You think St-Louis would have missed the playoffs with the Canes? I guess we'll never know...
What is dishonest is to compare their coaching records unless you truly believe both teams have a similar talent level. They don't.

I showed the records, not to compare them, but to show the comment was out for lunch. Brindamour is one of the best coach in the league and MSL hasn't proven anything.

Don't get so butthurt you might actually be the softest person on here, the guy I was talking to said that this year was clearly better than last year in regards to individual development. Truth is it was pretty even. Of course Dach getting hurt wasn't Marty's fault, but it was still a bad year for his development.
All we really got this year in the NHL was Suzuki and Slafkovsky taking a step forward.
Last year we had Dach, Caufield, RHP, the defense, etc.
Pretty much the whole defense had a sophomore slump and the team was largely carried by a free roaming Matheson offensively, and most people don't see him on a contending roster
I honestly thought there was some mystery box satire going on that was over my head

Yes but for know Rod have prove that he can have a really well structured team, that can win with constancy and that he have accountability, what MSL haven’t shown yet. Could my answer change in 4 years ? Of course yes and I hope so but right know if I’m a GM of a team going for the Stanley Cup, I’m taking RBA without hesitation

All that really demonstrates is a lot more experience and a much better team.

It’s a demonstration that he’s elite and have been at least a top 5 HC in the league.All that really demonstrates is a lot more experience and a much better team.
MSL haven’t shown he belong in that category yet
That’s the point

There's also this dilemma of the fit.
We know RBA works decently within the Carolina Hurricanes environment.
Does he work well in another environment? Who knows? Will he work well in a COMPLETELY different environment? That's really hard to tell.

I agree he is elite, I don't like folks holding MSL next to him saying MSL is not good, I am not talking about you.

This whole thread is stupid, and moot. Like seriously what was even the point of it? Neither Rod or Marty are going anywhere, and are literally impossible to compare in proper context.

If Dundon is being a cheapskate the Leafs are going to spend a fortune on Rod.
Makes me wonder if he would be accepted here. Would we be interested in a Jack Adams winning systems coach? Would we accept a non French speaking coach, as long as he had French ancestry?
If the Leafs get Brind'Amour I'll definitely be more worried about them as a team, but if they hired Marty I would also be pissed

According to some, Slaf was a bust... until he wasn't anymore
Why did they have that opinion?
Did they jump to conclusion too quick?
Do they have bad judgment?
Are they just stubborn?
To those people... do you not see the progress this team has made under MSL over the last two seasons?
You don't jump from under construction to stanley cup champions in a short time
