Yeah, not really shocking. He and that team were essentially at an impasse in terms of windows and styles.
Reading the ATLs was interesting as fans really didnt like the way Bowness was having the team play, but that to me has always just smacked of 'whiny fans.'
I mean, realistically, what did you want him to do? The Stars do not have the horses to go toe-to-toe with most teams. That is a thin roster with some real high-end talent in some positions that is starting to age, to play a negative game and keep it tight so your talent players can shine and your grit guys just try and keep it even seems like the Go-To Strategy for that group.
