Nope.
You fire the coach before you sell low on all three of those players.
People all talk about "This team got Hartley, Gulutzan, and Peters/Ward fired, you can't let the inmates run the asylum".
The only player on this roster that played for Hartley is Backlund.
The only players that played as a regular for Gulutzan were Backlund and Stone.
This isn't the same team, and it's not a young team like it was in 15-16 when Hartley was fired. It's a team of respected veterans with Huberdeau, Kadri, Lindholm, Toffoli, Tanev, Backlund, Coleman, Lewis, Lucic all being respected veterans across the league.
If those guys say the coach and his way of dealing/communicating with players is the issue then you trust them.
