The fact that he doesn't go into the locker room after games is just shocking. His overusage of Chiasson is as well. His stuborness to move Brodie to his natural side is criminal. And what the hell does he see in Wideman?
Sadly, he's not going anywhere this year. Earliest I see him getting fired l, and he will, is next midseason (30-ish games).

Sure individual statistics of our core players are struggling, but we're in a much better position as a team this year when you look at record, possession, and special teams. Monahan has seemed to figure it out and Hamilton is having a career year. Brodie looks to be playing better lately too. If Johnny can get going this team can do some damage. Not to mention the 3M line.
Him not speaking to the team after games isn't shocking at all. It's completely normal in the NHL.
Over usage of Chaisson and Wideman I'll give you, but realistically what is the coach supposed to do? We don't have players to fill those roles right now. Thats on the GM to address.
I'm not saying GG is the best coach of all time or even the right coach for this team, but he hasn't been a failure or anything. He deserves at least 1.5 seasons before determining anything like that.
The simple fact is this team isn't ready to compete for a Stanley cup yet. We're still rebuilding and currently a playoff bubble team. No shame in that.
Over the next 2 seasons if we could add another top 4 defenseman, a top six RW, and maybe have someone from the farm come up and impress we will be a good team.
It's a big shopping list, but here's hoping
