No. Florida got him. Flyers got Vigneault too. Idk who option C is.Is Quennville still available?
Who do you replace him with?
Even then, we don't change anything up because Sully gonna Sully.Yes because we refuse to change **** up unless we absolutely have to.
If that's the route, I also try to pick up Sheldon Keefe for WBS and then pick up some very good up and coming assistants that have a decent resume like Ulf Samuelsson and another person.This is key. Todd Nelson is the guy I'm really interested in. His resume is impressive and, more importantly, players rave about him.

Yeah but he can also be a mid season coaching replacement that wins a Stanley Cup.I doubt he leaves TO right now. He's currently coaching a loaded Marlies roster while waiting for an opportunity at the NHL level. If he's coaching in Pennsylvania next season, it would be at the PPG Paints Arena.
Isn't it weird how Geno and Phil were great ES when this team had some semblance of a transition game.. really makes you think.I just want someone to explain to me what Sullivan does that's so egregious, and wouldn't be a problem if another coach was in his spot.
Favoritism with certain players? Unanimous across the board as far as coaches go. Particularly former players who see themselves in these grinder types.
Line combos? When you have so many issues at forward, it's tough to get the combos perfect. Kessel seems to outright refuse to play with anyone but Geno for any length of time. Sid doesn't seem to want to play with Hornqvist or Kessel, and prefers guys like McCann, Rust and Simon. Phil and Geno are a train wreck at ES together, and actively make each other worse. This is a JR issue.
Adjust the system to his current roster? How in the world do you adjust your system, the one that won you back to back Cups, to be more palatable to a lineup of slow, ineffective blueliners who are wholly incapable of transition or offensive production? The entire machine runs on the blueline being its engine. When your engine is JJ, Maatta, Gudbranson and the ghost of Justin Schultz, you're absolutely done for. So, we play a slower, 2003-era style of game? Against teams that play fast, aggressive, forechecking hockey? Yeah, success awaits!
I'm not overly pleased with Sully, but I think the vast majority of things people want him crucified for are JR's fault.
After seeing that tweet by Sully...
**** that guy.
yeah what tweet?What tweet?
Reality check: Shero and Bylsma were here for two more seasons after the debacle against the Flyers in 2012.
That team was better than this one.
Mario and Burkle will demand changes, but they'll allow Rutherford and Sullivan a chance to enact those changes after winning two Cups.
