Odd
When he left the Sabres, I always wondered why no other team picked him up. Obviously one of the best coaches around.
A couple years ago, I heard from someone in the business, that Nolan had an argument with someone in the organization (Sather?) and basically took a "dump" on his desk. Again, rumour, rumour, rumour. So, take it for what it is, 3rd (probably 6th) hand information.
I find the above story hard to believe but can anyone else explain why Nolan isn't hired as an NHL coach? The only other reason that I've heard is that Nolan basically gets his GM fired since he really wants to be an NHL GM. So, what GM would hire someone to coach his team when the coach basically wants his job?
