Coaching and management changes around the league

I don't really disagree but it's not like Kakko and Lafreniere right now are contributing a huge amount either. Their eventual development is coming on top of an already decent-ish group.

For sure. They aren't at a contender stage yet but I don't think people would be putting up the 'Mission Accomplished' banner in terms of their rebuild if they drafted 14th in 2020 and 6th in 2019.

If they had to rank their top-25 under-25 right now I'd imagine Lafreniere, Kakko, Fox, and Shesterkin (who was drafted pre-Gorton) would be ranked 1 through 4 in whatever order. Not saying Gorton is a bad GM but I also don't think he's directly responsible for New York's accelerated rebuild as the original tweet might be suggesting.
 
One day when he's long past retirement I would love to find out if the "Torts was trying to get himself fired" rumours had any merit to them.

Wonder if he transitions to a broadcast role. He has the personality to forge a solid post-coaching career if he so chooses.

He could definitely be an interesting guy in an analyst type role. He?s old school, but also has a pretty good grasp on the technical side of the game. Could present an interesting mix of the two.

Well ESPN's hiring...
 
Tortorella has decided he wants to take a step back from the game and spend more time yelling at his family.
