Chaves contract expires in June 2026. This hire probably gives him the best chance to stick around since Jax will be able to retain more than the other finalists with a better chance to be good in year 1. 

Regardless if Jackson works out, Chaves has got to go. Our programs have never been such a dumpster fire.

just like fleshlighter at Western. bringing in a guy like herter......for the love of God at least bring in some assistants from outside the family....if all the coaches and ass coaches are und alums we deserve what we might be getting.

who are winning natty's right now....poach an assistant or two from them.

Agree. If they are going to keep the HC in house, bring in at least one successful outside assistant that will offer a different perspective that won’t be a yes man. Herter has been around enough to know what works and what doesn’t. If he ultimately wants to be a HC himself, it ain’t happening at Western anytime soon.

Here is hoping for the best with Jackson.   Wasn't my choice but what are we going to do hope he fails so we can say told you so.  Let's get things going in the right direction and hopefully we will be back fighting for the top spot in the nation sooner rather than later.

My wants, hopes for next steps... 

My guess/hopes.... KG to the NHL, Keep simmer and bring in St. Clair. Add one more seasoned assistant. FIRST HIRE... Chyz in as a GM. Would be that huge flex that gets people talking about UND instantly. Makes UND feel more NHL-like to recruits. 

My hope is hiring a guy with Major Junior ties to develop some sort of pipeline there.

Young and upcoming and actually relates to the players.

Hopefully Simpson knows how to recruit, especially the elite top end guys. He's Canadian, his dad is one of the most recognizable hockey color commentators in North America and is connected to most notable hockey people in Canada. Use these connections to land some elite CHLers.

Or he gets axed and we get a whole new staff of assistants.

Someone mentioned in the other thread that if Jackson gets it he will need to clean house.  Hoping that is true.   Would Herter even wantt to make a lateral move as an assistant and come here?

There had better be a plan going forward to address the problems in the program today and the challenges that we will face in the coming years. Otherwise, at the end of the day, we might as well have kept Berry.

Chyz is so well connected and I'd be willing to bet he knows guys, for sure. He's been prepping for the USHL draft. He knows the guys that are gonna be the studs.

Yeah, one thing this hire does is keep the pressure squarely on the administration, because there will not be a grace period by the fans, that might have happened under new leadership.  I expect hit the ground running, being that there won’t be a transition period.
