Has anyone looked into examples of new head coaches (non retiree takeovers) keeping the overwhelming majority of the former staff and subsequent team performance?
Gut says it's abnormal for an outside the org new HC, who is replacing a fired coach, to keep 80% of the staff. Kinda strange there was no real serious review either.....like Keefe wasn't interested in building his own staff. Normal to have some holdovers, but the lack of turnover seems weird at a glance.
Just two recent examples: Maurice turned over the majority of the Panthers staff. Same goes for Laviolette. I get keeping a couple people, but barely changing anything to make it your own staff seems bizarre.

It's pretty obvious what they mean in the context of the list, but I'll spell it out: I can see arguments in the ranking of the players within the tiers. Example: Lazar over BastianI'm more curious what those tiers mean.
To me
Tier 1: is Top line forward on any team.
Tier 2: is 2nd line forward on any team 1st line forward on some.
Tier 3: middle 6 forward on any team. 2nd line forward on some
Tier 4: 4th liner that can play up to 3rd.
There is no 5, 6, 7....those would all be extras.
We didn't miss the playoffs because of goaltending.
