AV is widely looked upon as a very good coach. This is his shortest tenure with any NHL team he has coached being let go partway into his 3rd season. His first NHL head hoaching gig was in Montreal and that saw him relieved of his duties partway into his 4th season. He spent 7 full years with Vancouver and 5 full years with NYR.
So something must really stink in Philadelphia right now for a good coach in AV to be given a shorter leash. Especially so quickly after an off-season of major player changes.
