MinnesotaNorthStar Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I think Shooter took a pi$$ in the snow and it looked like the Blue Jackets logo and said...Blais will coach there in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwing77 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I agree. If any coach in the WCHA is going to move to the NHL, it will be Lucia first. 400 wins. WOW Blais only has 250, but a very diverse portfolio as well. However, Lucia is attractive to NHL teams because he is young and successful.

It may never become available, but they do currently both have pretty good gigs. They are both smart guys, neither will jump to the NHL for the sake of jumping. However, I'm guessing both would make the move at some point if the situation were right for them. I think Lucia will coach in the NHL someday, but if he doesn't he could work another 20 years at the U and probably rack up 900 career wins.

Blaiser would need at least 3 more to jump ship. WPoS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be more realistic, especially with Blaiser having even more ties to the region. However, I spoke with Dean after he had coached the USA team and it was his opinion at that time that he wanted nothing to do with the baggage and attidude that the professional players have towards the game. He mentioned that at that level everyone is out for themselves and very difficult to coordinate a team mentality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
