It's more about the Jack Adams trophy being awarded to coaches that manage to overachieve with their roster. When a team overachieves one season, there's usually a high chance that the team regresses back to the mean the following season in the face of elevated expectations. Should Tocchet be fired based on the Canucks record? I would say no because I think the team on paper is a team that would be battling for the last playoff spot in the west. However I'm not a fan of his style of defense first hockey and don't think it plays to the strengths of the Canucks roster so I think moving on from him would probably be their best course of action if they miss the playoffs.
