   Interesting I love otter and was worried this might dissuade him to stay until army said otter was liking what was going on with his situation because of the age of his kids. We might not have hired a Stanley cup head coach, but we just hired a Stanley cup head coach as an assistant. That’s crazy. Should be a good sign for the boys to have that kind of experience willing to take a back seat and help the franchise.

   That is literally such a good move for our coaching staff. You’ve got a fresh coach breaking in and you bring in a coach of 20 years in the nhl to mentor him when he needs it.

   Very interesting hire. Definitely not mad at it

   Good move IMO. Claude hasn’t coached in about three years so it doesn’t seem, to me at least, it’s a “coach in waiting” situation like when we brought Yeo in behind Hitch.

   I’m glad Alexander got extended. I thinks he’s a fantastic coach and I enjoy watching him work with the goalies and shooters.

   Assistant to the regional manager, Steve Ott!

   Claude Julien is an experienced coach who will help shore up a lot of the areas where the 2023 team struggled, but he is also a stalking horse for Bannister.

   Really excited for this

   I was in full on panic mode when I saw this. I had him confused with Bruce Boudreau. And I thought Ott was an associate coach.

    Ok, I was not expecting this with Julien, but I love it

    Smart move to add a very experienced coach to the group. I like it.

    EDIT: and he did have a killer flow back in the day.

    Curious what Julien was quietly doing behind the scenes – seems like he’s been working for the Blues for a couple of years before getting back behind the bench.

    We hired [Coach William Fontaine de la Tour Dauterive](https://images.app.goo.gl/DT8kaY4BMgWSWfrY9)?

    Nice.
