How do we feel about John Hynes Tenure So Far?

Рет қаралды 318

Ай бұрын

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we take a look at the Wild season after John Hynes took over. We discuss how Hynes changed the team while still operating within the same system that was used under Dean Evason. We discuss the adjustments in game Hynes found during the year, his usage of Joel Eriksson Ek and other key players, and his willingness to put everything on the table with the team in a playoff hunt. We discuss the areas that will need to be improved, and the bizarre refusal to move Marcus Johansson off the second line to the point it led to the team missing out on the playoffs.

Anyone watch the USA vs Czechia game? I did...I watched the whole thing. Hynes couldn't get it done with basically an all-star line up, and seemed to bury his head in his little notebook when the entire building was going bananas...no coaching, no yelling at his players, no pacing along the back bench, no NOTHING.....just buried eyes in a notebook, pretending to write stuff. I like his ability to make changes on the fly, a lot harder than it looks. However, this year is a big year for Hynes...his verdict is still up for debate, for me at least.

Not surprised. That is his MO

Every coach has strengths and weaknesses. Because I saw improvement from Rossi, Boldy, Faber, and even Ek I’m hoping JH can squeeze a few more wins during this last year of negative csp$. Can he help the Wild build a winning team identity moving forward? I hope so.

I was puzzled by the hiring initially as he was basically a .500 coach with no playoff series wins. After Dean's firing, he barely went .500 and missed the playoffs. Watching Team USA severely underachieve in the World Championships is another strike against him. So far, not impressed at all. Only thing that he's got going for him is that Matt Boldy took off during his tenure and is turning into a world-class player.

@travzimmerman1340 Ай бұрын

He ended up with 39 wins and 43 losses. So, below .500

How can we get a paul mourice or a John cooper type coach here

@travzimmerman1340 Ай бұрын

Hynes is Guerin's friend. Guerin hires and signs his friends. The good ol'boys club. Hynes is all about self-preservation, too. Your GM just re-signed a bunch of old veterans. His guys. So of course Hynes has to play them. Again, self-preservation.

We all know Boozin Billy has his thumb on the throat of Haynes's decision making, especially on keeping non producers playing top minutes! So as far as any form of turnaround next year there are two chances for a turnaround...SLIM & NONE!

@big_red01027 Ай бұрын

I take your point on Rossi. However, they burned a year of Marat's ELC...to make him a 3rd line center? That's bad management and an indication that their thinking is too rigid.

@LockedonWild Ай бұрын

This team certainly has no shortage of bad management decisions in the last 12 months

@briangeary7684 Ай бұрын

Jury is out, Hynes did a decent job given the injuries and underachievers that you’ve covered. My question is why do all the leagues recycle coaches non-stop. It seems like the good old-boys club. I did like his in game shuffling of the roster and taking some chances. We’ll know soon enough when he gets to start fresh from G1 if he’s the coach. Would love to have a Berube type of coach, as he likes physicality which this group lacks.

And Carcus goes over to Worlds, scores 3 goals, 3 assists in 4 games? WHERE THE HELL WAS THAT GUY???? Maybe Billy G can move Carcus being he showed what going to Europe and playing for a coach that kicks his ass when he doesn't work can do for Carcus. I just don't want him here! Billy touted his speed and talent in the end of the year presser. Well, go sell it to another team where he can go underperform Billy! WE AIN'T BUYIN!

My thoughts on today's show Starting with Hynes, he doesn't make sense to be our head coach, his dis dain to play the kids is what got him fired from Nashville, that's how we Fiala Just not a good fit, regarding Gus Bus He was the second best goalie in 22-23 season,, with a 931 save percentage, only ulmark was better,, It seems ulmark will be on the market This year too but he will command a 6-7 million a year deal So Gus is looking very good to all teams, his stock continues to rise from his recent play, and if there is one thing Billy can do,, is make deals So I'm looking at least a number one Pick for Gus, or a Top end player, Anderson in LA would make sense We will see soon enough

I think a run at Byfield or Jacob Chychrun. That would pretty much hit us at Max Cap. Keep Spurgeon on LTIR!

@keithwilliams7755 Ай бұрын

Chychrun!!! Definitely a big time upgrade for the Wild.

@brianrachel9723 Ай бұрын

I don't think he did bad with what he had. Stepping into a 4-11-5 team and ending in the middle with the players he had is a positive.

@@travzimmerman1340 well hopefully JoJo is in it

@AlaskanWampa Ай бұрын

@@NathanMuckala-gb7is amen to that. If I'm Billy, I'm having direct words with JoJo and his "miraculous" ability to turn his skills on and off when he...the PLAYER..chooses when it matters. Not only would I ask him about his super-human powers, but after he answers, I would immediately demote him to the 4th line, & that's where he needs to stay. If & when JoJo keeps acting/playing like an A-hole...then he sits in the Pross box until further notice. This is how you deal with passenger players....you put them on BLAST for every single other player to witness, especially since we all know that Spurgeon, our faithful Captain, ain't convincing anyone of anything... This is a business, and if you harm Wild business practices, we got a PROBLEM. Will any of this happen? nope...lol...

He obviously wasn’t hired to win a cup and he never will, anywhere.

The only real negative i had on hynes last yr was Johansson. Other than that he was toe tied by the roster but thay should chg with the kids available to start this season. Ohgren, khusnidinov all season and possibly heidt makes a big difference than only having them for what 30 total games cpmbined last yr

@johnrobinson1824 Ай бұрын

Hynes lack of trust in young players will be his demise as the dependence on old slow vets to appease Guerin will lead to playoff failure and the frustration and departure of 97 IMO. Hynes USA experience this summer is very telling. Mediocre Loser all day long.

Be very careful about hiring a coach that has won a cup with another team. Only 3 in nhl history have won cups with 2 or more teams.
