Not many GMs around the league get to enjoy the fruits of their labour through a rebuild, and I don't think this was any different. It seems you almost need to be a special kind of GM to last from the start of a rebuild and back into contention.
I don't think Murray was that great. I am sure Eichel doesn't mind him gone either since Murray was so publicly 'disappointed' at having to draft Eichel.
I can't imagine Bylsma gets another contract any time soon, but I was sure as I could be that Torts wouldn't either, so who knows?
