Sweeney has been around so long up there and they've always been good, but haven't really done much other than one cup finals appearance and not making it past the second round any other year, that I could see just one playoff miss or even another first round exit being the end up him as GM up there.
I remember thinking that last week. Chiarelli was fired just 4 years after the cup win and 2 years after a finals appearance. One playoff miss took him out. And his time there wasn't quite the disaster that it was in Edmonton.
