Panthers want Pens assistant

Penguins assistant coach Andre Savard has emerged as an apparent front-runner to succeed Jacques Martin as coach in Florida. The Panthers have not asked the Penguins' permission to discuss the job with Savard and, per hockey protocol, do not figure to do so until the Penguins' playoff run is over. If Florida offers him the position, it's unlikely the Penguins would intervene, because general manager Ray Shero has an oft-stated position of not stopping people under him from moving into better positions.

This is the same bull sh*it as the Avalanche going after Detroit's assistant article a while back!

Garbage. I made my feelings about this known in the Colorado debacle that DC is mentioning, and I don't know if I have the energy to do it again. But this time it was a Pittsburgh paper running it - shouldn't hockey writers in Pitt have better things to write about right now?

To bad the Panters can't say the same (see Nieuwendyk).

AS long as its anyone but Martin. Watching his Panther's teams could put you to sleep. He couldn't win with that system in Ottawa I dunno what made him think it would work in Florida.

But they have a solid keeper, which always gives you a chance. They need to get rid of Olli though, every year at the trade deadline its the same... Olli wants out, Olli wants better linemates. Get rid of him while he's still valuable and keep building.
