I would also wait till the offseason to make any major moves. At this point you start looking at depth players (Backlund, Brodie, Hamonic, Frolik, Jankowski, etc.) to recoup draft picks. I would be comfortable allowing BT to focus on this and then firing him at the end of the season.
Bring in a new GM who has a clue about what wins critical/playoff type hockey games. Then allow him to assess and make the big moves this team may need, in the offseason. BT has shown he has no clue how to assemble a championship team, and like the rest of this organization is mediocre at best.
Till the top of org starts holding people accountable and making the Stanley Cup the only priority, nothing will change. BT should have NEVER been extended at the start of the year.
