When Lou Lamoriello was asked about this week at the end of the Adam Larsson contract conference call on Friday, he did not give an answer, and only said goodbye. So, Devils fans will have to wait to at leas tomorrow to find out whether the suspense will end or if Lou will again say no coach this week. Lamoriello was very vague in his answers about any timetable to hire a coach this past week, but maybe he was tired of getting annoyed and bombarded with coaching questions.
I will stand by my word and say that Devils need a coach no later than two weeks before the Parise arbitration hearing which is Wednesday August 3rd. So, by this Wednesday a coach will need to be named. However, many Devils fans would love to see Lou sign Parise long term even if it means not hiring a coach until after August 3rd. There is no word on whether Parise would like to see who the coach is or whether it will play a factor in his decision.
My feeling is that Lou will finally name one this week, because there has been too much speculation and too much suspense that it needs to end. But, he has to be very careful in his decision.
