@EJHradek_NHL As in, he got pressure to trade the pick he used to draft Strome ??

Big part of it. Some in AZ org wanted Dougie Hamilton. You don't trade the 3rd overall pick for a 2nd pair D.

He's kinda right that the timing makes no sense. Why let the guy who ran the team into the basement continue to manage the group through the rebuild... Then one year into that rebuild fire him.
Also Darcy Regier was serving as an asst. GM there for the past couple years and he left the job for "personal reasons" this season. Something odd going on there.
