I'm arguing you can't possibly have the information required to be as strongly against this hire as your posts make you out to be.

The absolute for me here is after the last disaster you don't go hire a coach who has a losing NHL record and has never made the playoffs to take this team to the level they should be at when there are options to hire coaches that have had success before. I see a guy in AV that has had tremendous success in the NHL, I see a guy in D Sutter who has 2 SC rings, hell I even see a guy in Tippett who I am not the biggest fan of that has had success in the playoffs. The fanbase is disgruntled and the organization is in a fragile place and the answer is a coach with no success over 4 years? F that...
