BEN JOHNSON OPTING OUT AND TAKING FLAK ++ BAD INTERVIEWS.??

There is now some additional word from Garafolo about the Ben Johnson process...

It seems that Johnson was not interviewing well. Whether it was an attitude problem or just lack of interest, he apparently was not presenting himself as the HC candidate who teams were in search of.  Looking more and more as if the Panthers dodged a bullet with the Johnson candidacy.
Maybe we got it right... 


CAT CRAVE:  Panthers Got Lucky?? -- NO Ben Johnson

That's interesting.  Meanwhile, Washington went from looking like they were going to get the pick of the litter but instead had to settle for a retread that no one else wanted. They will put a good spin on it but I imagine their fans are disappointed and Peters might be saying..."what did I do?"

Yep... Peters is an interesting case for certain.  The one guy who really makes me wonder is Vrabel.  Not too old; experienced; nothing really BAD (that I know of..).  This whole round of HC selections have been a bit....strange..??

Yea, I wonder about Vrabel too. Seems that he had conflict with the front office/gm in Tn.  Maybe he wanted too much control?  The trend seems to be moving away from that.
