Finally they announce these guys after days. Still wondering what's happening draft expansion talk because they have all the qualifications but I'm curious I'm not sure though if a trade actually with Vegas is allowable before the expansion draft. So when would the Kruger or tvr move occur

Also unclear what Granto will be/do. Is there going to be 3 bench coaches or will he be elsewhere and focus on special teams or something

I quite honestly completely forgot it was going to be in Chicago. Shows how awesome the NHL is, NFL draft comes to down and I get so overloaded I"m sick of it, NHL comes to town, didn't even know it was happening.

I kept wondering why his name sounded so familiar as a coaching name and thought maybe it was a football coach.

It finally was realized by Me his brother was the coach in Colorado that Q had as an assistant.

For as much as people try to spin this as oh Q gets his guy in Ulf but Bowman gets his guy... it's a rather weak case when the so called bowman guy has Q connections

Ulf and Q played together in Hartford too (showing my age here).

Actually, a good test for "bandwagon" fan explosioners, is "who the fuck are the Hartford Whalers?"

I had to look that up. 1997 to Carolina.

I feel like watching the plethora of 90s movies where their ineptitude of a team was a esoteric joke like in Chasing Amy/other Kevin Smith or Vince Vaughn movies should be the information point.

They're also continually noted for the logo being a use of hidden space

I read an article I cant find that Dineen also has history with one or both of them playing on the whalers one year after Q left with Ulf in 1991. So all three were team mates since 84.
