"that chick from Ohio"
Wait. Their NHL and AHL coaches were Carlyle and Eakins?
Oh wow.
Feels like it's been a while since a GM went behind the bench. Anyone recall the last time it happened? Surely happened more recently than Lou in NJ.
Fair enough, my 2 cents though is Anaheim might be best off looking at retooling and Trade Getzlaf (and maybe dump Perry?)
Seems like a nice guy but he’s a terrible coach. Crazy that he lasted so long.
That said, could be about a 25% chance he ends up in Edmonton.
Who are GM’s that have been head coaches at the same time? Off the top of my head: Pat Quinn with Leafs, Bryan Murray with Sens, Lou Lamoriello with NJ, Darryl Sutter with Flames
What's with these dumb GMs wanting to stick with their guy as long as possible? Burke did the same thing with Wilson in Toronto till the fans forced his hands.

Milbury on the island in the late 90s as wellOnce again he'll sit and collect cheques for not working. What a life.

I did hear a good argument for why you shouldn't blame Eakins for what happened in Edmonton. [Also saw a good argument for why you shouldn't invest a ton in his coaching ability because of what he was given with the Marlies.]Wait. Their NHL and AHL coaches were Carlyle and Eakins?
Oh wow.
I'd be willing to give Eakins a second chance outside of the suck void of Edmonton.
At this point Anaheim should just have kept him on for the rest of the season and tanked it.
Let's be honest here chances are you will need at LEAST 90 points to get a playoff spot which means Anaheim would have to go 20-6 to finish off the season
