Coaching and management changes around the league

I'm currently working for MapleLeafsCo as a Fan, Third Class, in the Online Posting Division. Right now I'm part of the Sens Mocking Team but I'm thinking about putting in a transfer to the Phil Kessel Meme Workgroup.

I got laid-off very recently from the Sparks Is The Next Starter (SNS) social media initiative. 

Felt like I was doing a good job, but apparently results matter.

WAIT we haven't had a chance to swipe Spurgeon yet

Edit: please pick Chiarelli, please pick Chiarelli
 
Paul Fenton fired as GM after only one year.

The Rask for Niederreiter trade really should have been a fireable offence right there. If ownership fired him before that went through and just made their analytics people interim GMs to ride out the season the Wild would probably be in better shape right now.
 
The timing of this suggests something bigger than "we don't like your hockey moves" was at play.

I'd pay an insane amount of money to read this sort of expose after every GM was fired. Imagine the Chiarelli/Edmonton one? The Nonis one?!

It also just raises the question of why he wasn't fired immediately after their season ended.
 
Pretty weird situation going on in Carolina. Don Waddell's contract actually expired on June 30th and he hasn't been re-signed yet. But he's still operating as the team's GM. I'm not entirely sure how that works. To make things a little more complicated he's interviewing for the GM job in Minnesota... the team he swindled earlier in the year with the Niederreiter for Rask trade.
 
Yeah I was going to bring that up earlier... most people, when they're off contract, stop getting access and authority. I'm sure Carolina doesn't mind that Waddell is working for free.

I mean, they have to still be paying him... right?

Although I don't think we've ever heard how payments get doled out for coaches and GMs. Do they only happen "in-season" like players or are they all year round?
