Coaching Changes?
Riding low off of yet another loss of uninspired hockey. Now if, and that's a big if, Gulutzan is sent packing what really are the options for head coach? I'd have to believe if he's fired, our special teams wizard Cameron goes with him. So that leaves Jerrad or Gelinas with the interim tag or do you go out and find a 3rd guy to pay to coach the team? And who's really available? Ron Wilson? Todd Richards? Craig Berube? None of those inspire confidence. Unfortunately, the smart play is to probably let Gulutzan finish the year, if he is indeed on a one year deal. Then have a thorough search for a coaching staff. You know, where you don't interview only one guy and hand the reins over. Now if that's the case, do you pick an established NHL coach or roll the dice with another up and comer? There was a lot of interest on this board about Travis agreement if I recall. But who knows what current coaches will be available by this summer. Whatever Treliving does, the next coaching staff he hires will be the tipping point for his own job security.
