Coaching and management changes around the league

Winnipeg's the only team to have not crossed into the >50% half of those charts. That incredible. It's a miracle that they might make the playoffs, because, they're really not good.

When some people were discussing Vezina nominees the other week I don't think Hellebuyck was even brought up but he'd be my pick basically for this reason.

The kick off piece about Shero's situation is fun

Ah once again analytics people are blamed for a good hockey man losing his job.

Maurice gets to remain employed for a few more years in Winnipeg. I'm glad...I've always liked him.

Winnipeg's gotten out of the 1st round just once in five years under Maurice. Missed the playoffs twice. Could miss it this year. I'm not saying that's all his fault, but it's odd for a team to commit to a coach with that track record. Especially since they're currently out of a playoff spot.

Yes Minnesota's problems are definitely coaching related and not the fault of their entire crappy roster.

(Guerin and Weight managed to play together on 3 different NHL teams during their playing career, plus multiple appearances together internationally)
 
An ?antiquated? system that needs refurbishment:


"The easiest way to frame it is an unwillingness to consider -- let alone listen -- to anybody who isn't widely known by the hiring manager, whether it's the GM, the [assistant] GM, owner, or whoever is running the search," Glasberg said. "Which I think is selling themselves short. Why wouldn't you want to talk to as many qualified people as possible? Instead, most NHL teams have this 'hire-a-friend' mentality. I hear this from my guys all the time: 'It's not the best candidate that gets hired. It's the candidate with the best network or who is the best known.' That's not how you build success. No company would ever be successful if they were just hiring people they knew."
