I am not sure what the Ice will look like next year, especially if Reinhart makes an immediate jump, but this musical chairs routine smacks of a league that doesn't think that market can stomach three-year rebuild. The Hurricanes are basically an expansion-level franchise right now, and with how popular True North is, is something they might get away with in Winnipeg for a couple years. But Lethbridge needs new ownership, new management and some success right now. Slide the Ice organization in and you have an instant turnaround.
