Could there be zero coaching changes?

Ah I think it may be possible

Penguins will ride and die with Sullivan
Detroit appears to have righted the ship
Despite recent criticism in Montreal MSL appears safe

Blackhawks, Ducks, and Flyers are all still rebuilding

Friedman advised on 32 thoughts that there is no current panic or sort in Boston

In a League where coaches last 2 years on average this would be interesting

i've been saying Cronin should be gone by Christmas. if he's not, then I have officially lost faith in this management to do anything correctly.
I don’t follow the Ducks too close but I cant see Pat Verbeek being anything but engaged, high/realistic expectations and demanding results. Cronin isn’t measuring up with that roster by appearances.

honestly it seems like Verbeek is very much the opposite. doesn't seem interested in making the roster better. seems content with a terrible PP system that continues to plague the team. and seems just fine with a coach that is clearly not working and actively hurting the development of the youth. personally i would be 100% ok with Verbeek getting canned alongside Cronin.

Perhaps this is what he also sees and thus why roster changes haven’t been abundant to this point yet.

I don't get what happened to the Bruins and Nashville since April.
Neither do we. Who are these impostors?! Both should be doing a lot better than what they've shown so far. I think down the stretch they'll get on track. Maybe they're following the Oilers game plan from last regular season

It's possible, but if they don't change things by December, a coach should be fired.

Habs and Preds will have new coaches soon. Habs get a new guy. Trotz takes over coach in Nashville.

I am a St. Louis defender, but if the losing gets too bad I feel he will get the booth. I am talking about playing .250-.300 hockey comes January.

I think they should stick with him until at least the end of the season, but I got used to reactionary moves in Montreal so nothing would shock me.
