I have to admit that during the summer I wondered WTF Brad was doing giving up on Ortio and getting two new goalies. While Elliot has struggled in my opinion, I have definitely been proven wrong on the importance of him bringing in Chad Johnson. It's not the saves that he makes, it's his calm attitude. It calms the whole team.
Brad will be judged not by the coach he has hired, but by how reactive he is to the poor performance:
Overreact with a worse coach and he is likely out of a job by Christmas next year with his former boss in Arizona replacing him.
Underreact and let this carry on for 2 years of sucking and he is likely out of a job by Christmas next year with his former boss in Arizona replacing him.
