AVs shelf life being over I can certainly understand, yet replacing him with someone who matches this roster or whatever future roster, or direction or plan, should they have any of that is something that needs to be considered.
If they want a roster that leans offense all the time and takes risks they need some better offensive players and a coach who can deal with that. AV is sort of that coach but he has an odd sense of who is allowed to take risks and make mistakes versus who is not allowed to.
If they want a good defending team, good luck with this roster, but there are coaches who think in such ways.
If they want a good two way team and roster, which is by far the safest way to go, AV is not the right choice, but they also don't have the roster for that either. Without some real game breakers just being a good two way team is not enough.
Similar choices, are they a development team or a anything can happen team?
Change coaching, I tend to agree his shelf life is likely about up, but they need to figure out what type of roster they want and what type of coach fits. That is likely to require some sort of longer term planning than maybe we will buy or sell at the deadlines depending on where we are in the standings or maybe we will sign this player or that one depending on who wants to play for the Rangers.
