We have the defensive depth to potentially add some good pieces up front, similar to Nashville using Jones to add Johansen.

I think the decision to keep or fire him hinges on a few key pieces
- Do they make the playoffs or not
- What happens in the playoffs
Those are the obvious ones
Looking deeper the argument, for me, to dismiss him largely would be based on
- Inability to address issues with special teams for the entire year
- Player utilization (specific roles, ice time, powerplay set up, etc)
Those are the two elements that form the basis for a position to remove him.
