Freidman said yesterday that Katz has really tightened the purse strings in every aspect outside of hockey ops (i.e. the other parts of the business) but now it's starting to creep into the hockey side. I doubt he wants to pay a big money coach and McLellan. I think he keeps him at least another year. I imagine the only other option would be GG, and I bet he doesn't even get an increase if that happens. Or some other internal idiot.
