Paddock has been a assistant coach for the Senators for two years, both under Brian Murray. Paddock coached Ottawa's AHL farm team, the Binghamton Senators. Paddock had most of success in Binghamton. 12 years before that Paddock was the head coach for the Winnipeg Jets. He coached there for less than 4 years doing a Coach-GM duel role, he replaced himself as the head coach before then 1994-95 season. Paddocks record during that time was 106-138-37 and lost in the first round of the playoffs in the first two years with the Jets.
So all in all Paddock has some big shoes to fill but it sounds like he was the best pick out of the candidates the Senators picked out.
