Like I said, if he were to come in and finish the season, fine. If he got them in and won a round, give him another year. Long term I don't think it's enough. The whole thing needs a complete rework.

What does "long term" mean to you? The average NHL coach lasts 2.4 years, so I don't think it's fair to expect a Jon Cooper. I would be totally fine with Gerard Gallant's Vegas tenure, short but sweet. At this point, I think anyone would take even some short term success because we haven't even had that in the last several years.
