How long is Bylsma's contract? I think he is mostly a product of some excellent star power and will get another coaching gig soon, as he seems overrated IMO. He should have gone as well. Seems a bit wishy washy from Lemieux and Co. there.

Can't add much to what has been said, but after Sid, it seemed like Shero was handed the keys to the city and then Malkin comes along and the 'casino days' of the team being propped up by that are long gone. Ownership is stabilized now because of those two and what's left is a coach hanging in the balance, where on most teams he would have been fired a while ago.

There is no way in my estimation that a GM who made a skeleton of his team's support players (Talbot, Cooke, Staal gone), with little more than Brandon Sutter to replace them, should have been retained. I think most blame should lie there.

Said as well, but Bylsma letting Iginla languish on the third line hurt his team and was a slap in the face to their 'prized' acquisition and first ballot HOF'er. Probably wasn't a great fit, and if so, it's on Shero for that, but also on the coach to play Iginla to his strengths and do all he can to help him and the team succeed.

Hope they languish as an early round exit for years. Screw them.
