I don't think too many people were pounding on Gulutzan's door. And the sad thing is that when you read the Dallas postmortem after they fired him, their team was having the exact same issues as ours is now. This should have been completely predictable.
I feel bad because I am sure he is a great guy, but I don't see anything showing he should be an NHL HC. If it's true that they only gave him a 1-year "show me" deal, then I don't think they were sold either.
I agree. When you look at the time line from firing Hartley, who was available, then when they signed with other teams; it seems obvious that they didn't get their guy and then had to sort through the NHL laundry hamper full of sock puppets.

Wait what? This is the first I've heard of this, Glen Gulutzan is only here on a one year deal?
