Today, the Nashville Predators officially named Chris McFarlane their new president and general manager. We've talked a lot about Chris over the years. And just as I said to you, I 100% guarantee you that there was a discussion point on the potential of offer sheets on Philip Broberg, especially, and Dylan Holloway.
One day you got to ask yourself, well, how does Stauffer know that there was 100% discussion with then general manager Ken Holland and others on his staff? Think about how I could 100% know that that topic got brought up. I'm also going to tell you that back in 2019, after the Edmonton Oilers. fired Peter Chiarelli. The general consensus was the top two candidates were out there were Kelly McCrimmon and Bill Guerin, and they were going to get NHL GM jobs. I can 100% guarantee you that Chris McFarlane's name was brought up at that time to then president of the Edmonton Oilers, Bob Nicholson. I can 100, and then you need to ask yourself, well, how does he know when he says 100%?
What is the context of Michael Chan's promotion in the Oil Kings organization?
Figure it out. The Oilers now audio vault for direct workwear. Let's get to it. I will tell you this, that we had Al May on yesterday. Lots of response to his appearances. I had four or five guys saying, Stoff, you got to make Al May a regular on the show. Well, Al talked about a couple of names out there. And after Gary Bettman's comments today about Vegas and Bruce Cassidy, maybe the probability of this is dropping.
What sacrifices did Michael Chan make to pursue a career in hockey?
But here's what Al May had to say on Butch.
Well, I'll tell you what. Cassidy grew up a ton from when he was first coaching in the National Hockey League. And he had a long, hard road back to get into it. But he certainly refined his systems, his coaching methods. And I remember before he became the Bruins coach, the Capitals had won like 14, 15, 16 games in a row against the Bruins. And Bergeron, Marchand, all their best players, Chara, were all severely minus, like to the tune of minus 30s against the Capitals. Well, Cassidy becomes the coach and they started getting closer in the games. You know, all of a sudden it was a 5-2 game for the Caps and then it was 4-2 and that was an overtime game.
