5 years. Two coaches. Neither of them failed spectacularly. Gallant went out in the 2nd round and was then fired with a .551 record in the middle of the next season.
Deboer finished that year with a .727 record and lost out in the conference finals two years in a row. He narrowly missed the playoffs this year with injuries to goaltending and star players.
Tough job to keep in Vegas.
Would Trotz want to go to Vegas? After a hundred and eleventy five years in Nashville he spent only 4 years in Washington and then again in Long Island. Would he last more than 2.5 years in Vegas? Is Vegas trending in the right direction for a coach of that caliber to join the team? He may want something a little more promising.
