Not really a surprise. They had some goaltending struggles early on that weren't his fault but there's some solid talent on that roster that didn't take the next step. Last season they could score but couldn't keep pucks out of the net. He did get them playing better defensively this season but their goal scoring dried up. This next hire will be pretty important as they have a few prominent players in their prime or just nearing their prime that they need to capitalize on.
