alfredoh2009 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Like I’ve been saying, I am going to miss Luke Hearing Luke Richardson will be the next head coach of the Chicago #Blackhawks. Sources say Richardson and the Hawks are putting the final touches on a contract. Quite the resume for Richardson, who played 1400+ NHL games, 8 years as NHL assistant, 4 years as AHL head coach. — Frank Seravalli (@frank_seravalli) June 24, 2022 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHT120 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Congratulations to Luke ... he's put in the time/work to EARN such a position. NOW ... another round of speculation starts about his replacement ... but can we skip Larry Robinson's name please ... he is 71 years old and hasn't been a bench coach for many years.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I imagine MSL has a wide network of hockey contacts. It'll likely be someone he has ties to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be wrong to assume that someone who was an excellent NHL player will be a be a good coach. Gretzky was not good at it. However some may be really good at it irrespective of their experience at coaching. If they can relate to and communicate well with players then they might be really good especially if it's somewhat of a niche role like working only with the defense. After all, St. Louis didn't have much experience at all but he relates well to players, especially guys like Caulfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Wasnt Markov a coach in Russia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHT120 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 A name I've seen in a few different places is Alain Nasreddine ... 12 years as a pro assistant coach (5 in AHL, 7 with NJD), including a half season as NJD interim HC ... but no idea if there is a MSL connection.

He was, but he got a 18 mth ban for a doping incident, where he failed to do doping tests or something bizarre. Another Russian ex-Hab that I've always wanted to see is Koach Kovalev. I know not all highly skilled players work out as a coach but I have a feeling that he'd be a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a coach for the defencemen and the penalty kill. I don't think that is kovalev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but he'd be a good candidate to replace Burrows as PP coach. Kovy was basically a player PP coach with how he used to hold onto the puck and point to where he wanted his teammates to be. That always cracked me up when he did that, but thats also why I think he could be a decent coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least AK could/should join the Habs as a skills coach and PP consultant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
