Red Wings Daily: Mo Not Likely To Be In Detroit’s Future

If the Detroit Red Wings are in the market for a new coach during the upcoming offseason, it doesn’t appear likely that Paul Maurice will be among those throwing their names into the hat.

A report on TSN’s Insider Trading on Tuesday claimed that Maurice isn’t in any hurry to get back behind an NHL bench and it will take something very dramatic to change his mind in that regard.

“A lot of ifs,” was how TSN’s Darren Dreger described Maurice’s mood regarding an NHL coaching comeback. “Paul Maurice is in no rush to return to the NHL.

“He is in absloutely no rush and very dependent on family. Where are his kids going to be in the months leading up to next season? If there’s a fit that makes sense for the Maurice family and the situation is right and the quality of the team . . . lots of factors being considered here . . . then Paul Maurice will consider jumping back into the National Hockey League.”

Certainly, when it comes to quality of the team, the rebuilding Red Wings may leave Maurice wanting. However, on a more hopeful note, his wife’s family is from nearby Amherstburg, Ontario, right across the Canada-USA border from Detroit.

Of course, it must be noted that Jeff Blashill remains on the job behind the Detroit bench.

Detroit defenseman Moritz Seider joined Quinn Hughes (Vancouver Canucks 2019-20) as the only NHL rookie defensemen over the past 25 years to record 40 assists. Seider is also the first NHL rookie to record 20 power-play points since Red Wings defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom in 1991-92.

well, did trying to hit Seider work for those people?

no, it never does. I mean these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but..

The Red Wings surrendered two more empty-net goals during Tuesday’s 4-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators. That brings Detroit’s total of ENG allowed to 28 – the most by any NHL team since the 1967-68 expansion.
