I want GG gone as much as anyone, but was December really the right time? Unless they wanted Darryl Sutter coaching this team (which it's obvious they did/do not, otherwise the switch would have happened by now), I think it's a move that always had to be made this summer when some quality coaches become available.
I don't particularly believe in having an interim coach in place for a few months - it's far too much of a coaching carousel. If waiting it out means getting one of Trotz or Vigneault this summer, then it will all be worth it, IMO.
