Coaching and management changes around the league

I guess I'm on an island upon which I've a lot of respect for Burke. Sure, he didn't exactly transform the leafs into much, but the league is a lot more interesting with him in it.

Now I expect his first moves will be to trade Pitts first rounder for the 22 and 23 drafts for Phil Kessel.

Agree with you. He's an interesting person. Apparently his book is excellent as well. I'll miss him ripping the zebras lol.

He adds intrigue when he?s part of a management team. He?s not good as a talking head/commentator.

I did enjoy his book actually, but he's just too pig headed for his own good.

So Sam Bennett to the Penguins, right?

You think Burkie will put up with the quarantine issues for one his first acquisitions?

Or, maybe he doesn't care, and plucks all the players from Canadian teams that want out or are publicly on the block - Mete, Bennett, and Virtanen.

I bet Virtanen has the best odds of the three, as long as Vancouver's asking price isn't way out of line

So did Sullivan just quit because he kept getting pushed off the side or is Arizona just insanely cheap and didn't want to pay him to do nothing and tried to just make his job as miserable as possible to get him to want to leave?

This is being described specifically as a termination.
 
Ward is out and Darryl Sutter is back in Calgary.

I can't believe Treliving is still the one that gets to make these calls. This would be his 5th coach (4th hire).

With Sutter being the guy brought in, part of me wonders if Treliving was really the one who made this call. 4 coaching changes in 7 years is a crazy amount.
 
Amazing that the 2 teams battling for 4th right now both fired their coaches.  Calgary had to respond to the Habs move to get that new coach bounce!
