I think the key with Gallant is that this season's struggles look to be very much shooting percentage and save percentage based. Not something where he's "lost" the team or not getting them to play a complete style of play anymore.
Looking at the big picture here's Gallant's performance in Vegas with an expansion team.
118-75-20
Point %: .601 (9th)
Goals For: 662 (10th)
Goals Agasint: 602 (10th)
GF%: 52.37 (8th)
CF%: 53.12 (2nd)
HDCF%: 52.86 (7th)
xGF%: 53.5% (2nd)
Shooting Percentage: 9.23 (17th)
Save Percentage: .906 (16th)
Top 10 results while not getting top 10 shooting percentage or goaltending. That's pretty strong for a coach if you ask me.
