"Carlyle is going to........" <stay> / <go to Florida> / <go to hell>

Gardiner was 1st on the team in even strength TOI/g and played 80 games.
LuncheonMeat said:Personally, I would like to Shanahan clean house if only to get his own people in across the board. It always seems like the new GM gets the existing coach, and the new coach gets the existing assistants, and the scouting staff just seems to linger through it all. I'd like to see Shanny hire his own GM, coach, scouts and front office people, and allow that new coach to bring in his own assistants. A clean slate (a new culture?) so to speak.
Nik the Trik said:Obviously this is something that will take a more definite form as decisions are cemented regarding who is or isn't coming back but, as of now, do people have a good handle on who is responsible for what in the organization right now? I guess the implication people are taking away from this is that Shanahan is deciding whether Carlyle comes or goes but will that be true of coaching decisions in the future? If Nonis sticks around is it basically as a #2 to Shanahan?
Because I have to confess that I'm lost.
Nik the Trik said:It's hard to imagine that Shanahan, with his brief and frequently criticized history of being the mouthpiece for the league's terrible discipline program, didn't hit the ground running here.
RedLeaf said:Perhaps he still will. We've only heard the coach and GM are staying. Don't underestimate what can be done with an effective player shake up.

Unless by "player shake-up" you mean the team getting drastically better or worse then I'm not underestimating it. I'm properly estimating that if there isn't a serious move in one direction or the other then contending isn't likely for the foreseeable future.
RedLeaf said:Maybe Shanahan decided that the coach isn't the problem, and instead has made plans to trade Phaneuf, Franson, Kadri and Riemer, to get that 'culture change' everyone is talking about these days. Depending on who comes back, it could mean a drastic change in the teams performance in one direction or another?
