Quenneville: 82-61-21 / Average of 92.5 points per season.
Now look at Gulutzan’s:
87-68-9 / Average of 91.5 points per season.
Glen has actually had a better start to his career than Mike Babcock and only 1 less point per season than Quenneville.
Gulutzan has his warts, but he’s still doing some on the job learning. Would probably be worthwhile to allow him to grow into the position, given he already has very solid early coaching career numbers.

You left out the most relevant Stat for GG, he is a. 500 coach in his second year coaching a team. Seems like he is on pace to continue that trend.
