If he’s not working out here and now, given his style and the results he’s getting, fair enough. That’s for those above him to decide and make the change.
As far as assistants, each coach has at least one guy he’s comfortable with and brings along when him. D. Sutter it was Preston, Hartley was Cloutier...neither of those assistants would qualify as experts in much of anything compared to some others, but it’s the comfort level and working ability with those guys that head coaches trust implicitly, which is a big part of an effective coaching staff.
That’s why you rarely see assistants sacked in the NHL.
