Dave Hakstol was named, on Friday night, a finalist for the Jack Adams Award for the NHL’s coach of the year.
Seattle Kraken head coach Dave Hakstol speaks to the media after a 3-2 win in overtime against the Colorado Avalanche in Game 4 of an NHL hockey Stanley Cup first-round playoff series Monday, April 24, 2023, in Seattle. Sometimes sports and sports coverage are a hindsight business. A coach learns. An athlete develops. A team goes on a run.
In so many ways, Hakstol came to be considered as a bigger controversy and a bigger mistake than those other hires/fires/promotions, just because he was the outsider and outlier among them. He had no previous connection to the Flyers. He had never coached in the NHL before. He had spent the previous 11 years in charge of the University of North Dakota’s program, which made him ... oh, no! ... a college guy.
As an expansion team, the Kraken entered the league in 2021 with their decks already cleared, which gave GM Ron Francis, his scouting staff, and Hakstol the opportunity to build the roster from the bottom up. The result is a team that this season scored the third-most goals, had the most takeaways, had the sixth-fewest giveaways, and surrendered the fourth-fewest scoring chances in the NHL.
