CBJ Coaching Update: Blue Jackets Have Targeted Their Man (WaitingForNextYear.com)

Not a bad pick after watching him and his Hamilton Bulldogs roll the Monsters year after year.

Apparently, Boucher will be coaching the Lightning next season.  The word is that he made a bunch of demands like bringing in his whole staff from Hamilton and he wanted control over the roster and whatnot.  All of this from a guy who had one whole season under his belt in the AHL. 

I'm not sure if that's an indictment of the Blue Jackets and what people think of them - although, is Tampa Bay really a hockey town? - or how out of whack things are in the world of NHL coaches.

Yeah, but Boucher is no vet either.  He was an AHL guy too - that's my point.  He spent one year coaching in the minors and when Columbus came calling he decided he'd wait and see if something better came along.

Regardless, the Moose and the Bulldogs will both have new coaches next year.  Maybe that instability will be the edge the Monsters need!
