But if we do go with a new coaching staff, for the love of god, go with an entirely new staff. There's no reason why Gelinas and Sigalet should be immune the way they have been previously.

This exactly. If they bring in a new head coach let him bring his own guys. Goaltending has been an organization weak point since Sigalet was hired. I get that he hasn't been given elite talent to work with but I haven't seen much improvement year over year from netminders under his tutelage. Rittich is still having the same issues of folding with an increased workload in year three with the team. It's time to look a bit deeper than just changing the head coach as it's a little too Oilers for me to have a ex-player and organizational guy like Gelinas shoved down the throats of every new coach.
