Marner Wants a Real Bench Boss, Not a Figurehead in Vegas

Mitch Marner is already helping set the tone for what comes next in Vegas, and that usually tells you the room knows a change is coming. The Golden Knights do not hire soft landings, and the next coach is going to be measured against a roster that expects structure, accountability, and a voice players actually respect. Marner’s wish list gives a pretty good clue about what kind of bench boss the room wants, and it is not the type who survives on slogans and a good handshake.
