Vancouver: Doubt they fire Travis Green
Arizona: Rick Tocchet, probably stays especially with the good run to end the season
Chicago: Would be crazy to fire Quennville IMO but I think that GM-Coach relationship is broken.
Edmonton: Feel like somebody has to take the fall for this season and T-Mac is probably the guy.
Calgary: If they would have battled to the end then I think GG may have stayed, but no chance with the way this team crumbled down the stretch
Dallas: Hitchcock always felt like a Hail Mary short term play and if it doesn't work I think they may try something else.
St.Louis: Yeo was already on the coaching staff of a team that failed last year, and they didn't improve at all this year.

So that is probably 5 teams in the West that could see coaches fired. Plus I think Anaheim could make a change if they lose in round 1.

In the East:

Sabres: Have to think Housley gets more than one year with that Broken roster
Ottawa: Guy Boucher seems to have a really short shelf life and wears down his players quickly.
Montreal: Don't think they fire Julien...but he may want out if they go into more of a rebuild cycle
Detroit: Blashill's third year and Zetterberg had some scathing comments about the team's not playing for each other.
Islanders: Weight probably goes since they had a Flames like collapse.
Rangers: AV likely gets the ax here too.
Carolina: My guess is the new GM and Owner will clean house.
Florida: Don't think they'd fire the coach one season in.

So you have Boucher, Blashill, Weight, AV, Peters....another 5 in the East.

So yeah could easily see 10 coaches fired this offseason - makes sense though since none were fired during the season this year I think.

Since the all-star break the Panthers are something like 19-5-3, most of that without Luongo. Best team in the league next to Nashville. No chance Boughner goes anywhere getting them to play like they are right now, especially with a roster that does have some significant holes in it. Cross him off the list.
