Todd McLellan Out as Sharks Coach
Dobber
2015-04-20
Fantasy Impact: For the first time in seven years, the San Jose Sharks need a coach. Todd McLellan and the team have agreed to part ways.
The Sharks and McLellan each need fresh starts and a clean slate. This isn’t a slight on McLellan’s coaching, but after seven years it’s just time for a new angle.
Couture and Marleau took the toughest minutes. A new coach could quite easily give Pavelski and Nieto (for example) those minutes instead. And what if Hertl was given more offensive zone starts? Subtle tweaks in philosophy come with every coaching change and to peg them in advance is a game of darts. But look for any historical ties between the incoming coach and players on the roster, as well as the new coach’s leanings when it comes to young players vs. veterans.
