Both will be in charge of their respective teams at the start of next season, the leash maybe a little shorter but they will be there.
So if those two aren't available, who do does everyone suggest is going to bring this upbeat, high tempo, score 5 goals a game brand of hockey that everyone seems to think we are due?? It certainly isn't going to be Tippet, anyone remember how boring games against the Yotes used to be.
By all means fire GG because this season hasn't been up to 'expectations' but have a decent replacement available, which at the moment I can't see one.

Its not even necessarily that though.
NYR is going full re-build and maybe the coach wants to win or doesnt want to rebuild, it might be a mutual parting.
Similar to Quenneville, that Chicago team is going to have to make some changes, maybe some of those wont be to his liking.
Its not just that 'they're going to be fired' but sometimes changes just have to be made.
Not to mention, guys like AV and JQ (<- I hate spelling his name) are desirable commodities, they'll land somewhere and they'll get paid, they dont have to stay through rebuilds or lean years if they dont want to.
