Peter Laviolette And Moves Being Made Around The NHL

The tradition continues with Word Association before Jeff and Elliotte dive into the latest news (there’s a lot) and speak with new Capitals coach Peter Laviolette.

In coaching news, Rick Bowness is getting all the love thanks to getting a shot at the Cup with the Stars, the Flames removed the interim tag from Geoff Ward and Jim Montgomery joins the Blues. In front offices, Bill Zito is making all kinds of changes in Florida, Bill Guerin is keeping busy in Minnesota, Arizona names Bill Armstrong GM and Vegas is going all-in on its blue line.

Our interview with Rick Bowness from early 2020 can be watched here.

Laviolette, the 19th head coach in Washington’s history discusses why he wanted the job, his philosophy around coaching Alex Ovechkin, building relationships with the entire roster and his time in Nashville.
