I can't believe I seriously have to break this down

Lafontaine quits, leaves Nolan here as an interim.

Murray extends Nolan ****knowing he is a bad coach****, strips the team (Buying out Ehrhoff, trading Miller, Ott) all moves that are intended to result in a last place finish...then fires him because he wasn't good.


Is it the right thing to do, absolutely and I'm glad Murray has the stones to do it. Is it shady, abso-freaking-lutely

This is an incredibly superficial analysis, and wrong.


Fitz's post just above is far more likely.

Did Nolan get fired BC we finished last?
Or BC he & Murray weren't on the same page?
I don't think it had anything to do with how The team performed.
Once the two started making comments to the public it was all over. We all saw this coming. And it wasn't "shady"
They just saw things differently. Pysyk, Hodgson, etc

No, he was fired becasue Murray wants his own guy. Which is fine, lets get that guy.

Depends, I'm hoping they aren't. But if Murray goes all out for ROR and and another defensemen we wont be far out.

I think we need to be patient.

Even if we got to 80pts... Which is a HUGE leap... That's still would have us picking 7th going by this year's standings.
There's going to be a new coach, with a lot of new players. They're gonna need time to gel. Also, with all these young kids, there's still gonna be a lot of inconsistent play.

Picking somewhere between 5-10 seems about right to me

I think you're making a big assumption...
But regardless, it's done.

New candidates?
Richardson, Babcock, Bylsma, McClellan if he gets fired in SJ (I think he will)
Anyone else?

Maybe we get lucky with one of the lotteries and pick 3/4.
