Latest On Rod Brind’Amour

May 1, 2021 at 8:20 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 19 Comments

The Carolina Hurricanes have the most points in the entire NHL and look poised for another long playoff run. Their coach happens to be a franchise icon that served as captain during the organization’s only Stanley Cup championship in 2006. What seems like the easiest extension in history has been expected for some time with head coach Rod Brind’Amour, who is only under contract through the end of the 2021-22 season. But the deal still hasn’t been signed, and Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet shed some light on exactly why:

They don’t have an extension done yet for next year and I understand that one of the biggest issues there is that Brind’Amour has asked that as much as he wants himself to get a contract extension, he also wants extensions for his coaching staff, the training staff and the equipment staff–which also aren’t signed for next year.

As Friedman explains, the odds are still on Brind’Amour signing with the Hurricanes, but there are teams “that would like to back up the Brinks truck” to steal him away from Carolina. It’s easy to understand why after the success he’s had through the early part of his coaching career. In three seasons, Brind’Amour is currently sitting at a 117-64-19 record, which would put him sixth all-time in winning percentage among coaches with at least 200 games.

Obviously, some of that is the Hurricanes core coming into its own, but there’s no doubt that Brind’Amour has impressed behind the bench. The fact that he is now sticking his neck out for the rest of the staff will only improve his reputation, even if it does make it a little more difficult to work out a new contract in Carolina.

Of course, there is now an NHL team without a head coach and it happens to be managed by former teammate and long-time Hurricanes colleague Ron Francis. The Seattle Kraken are taking their time deciding who will lead the team during their inaugural season and though there has not been a direct connection yet to Brind’Amour, you can bet they would be one of the (many) teams keeping an eye on the situation in Carolina.

    The Bod is showing why he’s so loved. He knows he can get whatever he wants but wants to look after everyone on his staff against the cheap owner

      Think hurricanes are a great team. Now do I like the owner nope, should they be in Carolina? Probably not. Doesn’t change the fact rod is in the drivers seat for this contract or make me a “hater”

      Really?…Demographics change and the Research Triangle area around Raleigh is one of the fastest growing parts of the country unlike the Rust belt where taxes, jobs and weather have people taking better opportunities in life. The Canes have been in Raleigh 24 years now so get over it as the NHL isn’t a Rust belt sport anymore when the southeast and southwest are just better to live in and are taking in tons of new relocated Corperation’s leaving high taxed and cold weather area’s…The league has changed dramatically in the last 20 years or so or have you noticed.

    He’d look nice behind the bench at MSG.

      In case you haven’t noticed weather and taxes matter to TODAY’S player’s and coach’s…Not to mention RBA is a very rich man anyway, also the recent state of affairs in NY, IE state and city you can forget that and the luster of the Rangers has gone away like the Mullet and flip phones.

      Dream Over RBA is not going to a expansion team from a previous failed GM and the latest news as of today is:
      Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon says head coach Rod Brind’Amour will remain with the club beyond this season.

      Brind’Amour’s current contract is set to expire this summer, but Dundon says he’s not worried about negotiating a new deal.

      “I’ve never been concerned,” Dundon said Tuesday on The Bob McCown Podcast. “I’ve never really had a problem keeping good people, if I want to keep them, we keep them, we’ll find a way and he’s the best.

      “I have no interest in owning the team without him coaching it, so he’s going to coach it.”

    It wouldn’t shock me if Dundon screwed this up. Though the Aho offer sheet thing did seem to wake him up from his pennywise, pound foolish way of operating.

      It’s called negotiations and The Canes will hoist the cup again with two teams from the Old southeast division winning back to back cups, and if your a Ranger, Hab or Leaf fan it’s 1967, 1993 and 1994!

    I gotta get one of these replies…

    Rod Brind’Amour should go into Tom Dundon’s office, pick up his desk and spin it on his finger like a basketball while calling Dundon the cheapest human who has ever lived.

    THEN, he needs to toss Dundon onto his back while doing 3,634 pushups and continue the beratement.

    Finally, he can tie Dundon to a chair while riding the stationary bike for 7 hours and repeating like a mantra the phrase “You can’t spell dunderhead without…most of the letters from Dundon” over and over and over again.

      Dont let the cheap owner comments bother you. Those people arent connected day to day and just regurgitate what they read.

      Rod and Francis can golf together with Jerry Bruckheimer, he’ll be fine.

      It’ll be refreshing for him when the owner finally opens his wallet on the 19th hole.

    Brind’Amour will likely sign in Seattle for a lot more than Carolina would pay him.

      You will be so disappointed…RBA will only see Camp Wop A Chop when the Canes beat the Kraks.
