How is the coaching carousel affecting NHL teams right now?
Let's go now to that Able Auctions hotline. Frank Zervalli joins us now on the Halford & Breff Show on Sportsnet 650. Good morning, Frank. How are you? Pretty good. How are you guys doing? We're well. Thanks for taking the time to do this. We want to start with the coaching carousel that's going on in the National Hockey League, specific Vancouver. Give us everything you know, everything you've got on the Canucks coaching situation as it pertains to Manny Malhotra, and I guess anything or anyone else that might be involved.
Yeah, I wish I had some new news for you. I think the best way to explain it is that the Vancouver search, such as it is, I don't know how deep it is, there hasn't been much noise from it. And I think part of the reason for that is I don't have any evidence that they've talked to anyone else outside of their own internal candidate at this point in time.
So is it just a negotiation that's going on right now with Manny Malhotra?
I don't, that part isn't clear.
What are the implications of the Avalanche being swept by the Golden Knights?
I mean, I can't imagine that the negotiation takes five days or six days to do. I don't know what their thought process is, where things stand, what the vision is, is part of it. Manny Malhotra filling out his staff, as you know, a clean slate and bench. I mean, there's probably lots of layers to it. But I can't imagine that the negotiation part of it is what's holding this up.
Is it tough to get information out of the Canucks right now? What's it like when there's a regime change and you're an insider and you are suddenly trying to find new information out of new guys?
Well, there's a path. There's a pecking order. There's a I think the most interesting thing to figure out as a, as a reporter is like where, who's the point person. Right. I mean, the thing is like typically when there's multiple people at the top of an organization, you know, you just for consistency sake as a team, and I'm not saying me, like you want to make sure that that message is consistent. And so part of it is relationships. Part of it is, you know, making sure that you're getting to the right person. And so when that happens, just to be totally transparent from my end, when you have a big change like the Canucks did, it typically takes a few weeks for a lot of that to settle in. So my read on it would be that there probably isn't a whole lot of talking being done by anyone.
Yeah.
Just because we're on this topic, who is the toughest team in the NHL to crack as an insider?
I think there's some teams that most people don't even bother with. Right. Like one would be the Detroit Red Wings. I don't think a lot of people spend time trying to crack Steve Iserman, for instance.
He's just never going to give you anything.
Yeah, it's just not even worth the effort. So they just move on. Lou Laborello's teams are always like that. Like it was, well, you can guess and you can try and piece things together. I think the thing that people I'm sure realize, but don't always connect the dot is there's just so many other ways, even if the people in charge aren't talking to, to find out information.
