Coaching and management changes around the league

The Ducks organization is garbage. Bettman is garbage for reinstating him in the first place . These geriatric hacks need to step aside and let the game grow past this crap
 
And his coaching record is pretty bad. Like, got fired from a junior team bad.
I won't place the sins of the son on the father necessarily - not when the father's reputation is pretty solid, as are the rep of his other son - but the poor coaching record . . . he's totally getting the job because, as an existing assistant, he's an easy hire.
 
As a Dubas hire, I assume it's a terrible decision...
Apparently he's pretty good. Laviolette sure likes him. He was PK coach, 3rd best in the league with the Rags when they won the Pres trophy. Never had a PK under 80% with the Rags. Also with the Preds before that when they won the Pres trophy and had the 6th best PK for the 1st 2 years. Nice to see new blood in the coaching ranks.
 
DeBoer is done in Dallas. Throwing your goalie under the bus is apparently not a good combination when you also have a record of not winning against Edmonton.

I would love a coach who wasn't afraid to bench one of our core players in an elimination game if they were playing terribly and had a history of playing poorly in such situations.

EDIT: I thought you were speculating, but he is indeed fired.
