I finally got caught up on this all.
At the end of the day - this was the correct move. You can't hire a new GM and stick him with a Head Coach. Sticking a new GM with a bullet proof Head Coach would just be bad process - so I'm glad this has happened.
That said, my "best case scenario" was Sutter and Treliving returning together with plans to rebuild. Looks like I'm getting no Sutter, no Treliving, and no rebuild.
I sincerely hope we do not walk Lindholm to free agency...
I do hope that we end up with Love as our Head Coach.

What players? The roster has turned over completely since this last era has begun. So what players are masterminding this? Is it Mikael Backlund?

This franchise is a complete joke.

It was far from just Kadri and Huberdeau. Did you not see Lindholm and Backlund effectively say "nah, !@#$ this - I'm out"?

We just fired a
real coach. Mitch Love looks like an excellent hire...I hope it ends up being him.

This bums me out. Lindy? Backs? Toff? Tanev? Just going to walk these guys to free agency? Backs and Lindy seemed pretty cold to staying here.
