Now? 2 time SC winner and looking pretty good to go deep again.

AV was fired from the Habs when he had the team below 2 expansion teams in the standings.
Gallant sure didn't have any success in Columbus
Pete DeBeor never made the playoffs in Florida.
Just because it didn't work with Gulutzan does not mean a similar profile won't again. Every coach is different.
