Summary
Vegas Golden Knights spark major debate by naming Ryan Craig head coach—was he truly the best coach on the market? Chris Gawlik and Tony Dasco weigh GM Kelly McCrimmon’s bold claim, compare Craig to veteran names like John Tortorella, and discuss the risks and rewards of choosing an up-and-comer over established “retread” coaches. Key topics include Craig’s AHL track record with the Henderson Silver Knights, his leadership style focused on accountability and professionalism, and the potential for McCrimmon’s micromanagement to shape the new regime. The hosts explore what the VGK roster and playing style might look like under Craig, the impact of possible coaching staff changes (especially at goaltending), and address fan concerns over past moves involving Marc-Andre Fleury and Robin Lehner. Will Vegas’ gamble pay off with championship contention, or does uncertainty loom for the Golden Knights’ future? Odoo Today's episode is brought to you by Odoo ( OH - DO ).
