Well geez... I wasn't expecting my post to be such a talking point. Pretty slow day around the water cooler, hey?!
Kidding aside, the replies to my post are valid for sure.
My post is merely speculation, much like the other 99% of the posts in this thread..
That said, I can argue that as speculative as my post is, it is an opinion from the way I see things.
You guys disagree, and that's fine.
However, the points you are making in disagreement, I can argue that your points are just as speculative.
As much as I don't know what's going on behind closed doors, neither do you.
That said, I was posing a question, how much slack is going to be given to BT if he brings in a Randy Carlyle or Mike Yeo who arguably are no better and infact the numbers point tobworse than Hartley.
Agreed drafting so low for this many years is unacceptable, that said, I don't see many coaches that are being discussed that will change the draft position dramatically.
So what then? Did the BT screw up in prematurely firing Hartley or was it not soon enough?
Furthermore, if BT screws up the next coaching hire, how long will his leesh be then?
Lastly, if the incoming coach is terrible in on-ice results, do we as a fan base start to question BT?
Again, all speculation on a slow news day and wanting to discuss possible outcomes.
This is not a Witch Hunt. I still really like BT, I'm simply a concerned fan, thinking out loud.
