They just changed the President of the board in the off-season so perhaps they will use that to buy them some time.
I think what might happen is that Preston will step down as coach and stay on as GM and use the youth and prospects BS that some fans seem to have bought as an excuse as to why he will stay on as GM. Ignoring the fact that teams like the Hitmen and Wheat Kings have already passed them after having Memorial Cup teams in the past two years and that this youth should be doing more than helping this team lose 13 in a row after two years of being bottom 5.
Preston seems to be on a Burke like 5 year plan with the problem being, as you likely know, that with the cycle of players in the CHL a 5 year plan means you are an f'ing awful GM in the league.
The problem with Preston just leaving the coaching is that I see Kabayama being promoted to coach and I am not sure that changes anything really.
