I'm not putting too much stock into a qualifying round win against a depleted Jets team. They need to be extremely competitive against the Blues/Stars for me to consider him as a legit option as full time head coach. This is an offseason where there's proven coaching names available and losing in the first round of the playoffs is something even Gulutzan provided so I need to see more before I get on this bandwagon. There are still bad trends like the poor starts to games that he's not been able to address so IMO he's still work in progress.
