Update: The Predators announce that John Hynes will assume Head Coach duties for Nashville. What do you think of the hire?
Breaking news out of Nashville on Monday, as the Predators have fired Peter Laviolette.
“Under the leadership of Peter and Kevin, our organization reached unprecedented heights, from our franchise-altering run to the Stanley Cup Final to a Presidents' Trophy and our first two Central Division titles,” Predators general manager David Poile said. “Their passion for the game, ability to motivate a team and drive to be the best makes this a difficult decision. On behalf of the entire organization, I would like to thank Peter and Kevin for all their contributions to the Nashville Predators over the past five-and-a-half seasons.”
Laviolette has compiled a record of 637-428-25-119 record in his NHL coaching career, and won the Stanley Cup with the Carolina Hurricanes back in 2006.
