I suspect they "paid up" for Brent Sutter.
I think that first time versus fired a few times is a real mixed bag. And coaches records vary so much even within a team season to season it's ridiculous. Look at Maurice. I think he was on the brink of being fired. Hellebyuck has made him a genius this year.
