Where does it say he will be interviewed? If his interview is scheduled for after all the players it could mean Pat just wants to make sure the player feedback jives with the direction he was going as to Cronin's future status. Cronin's interview could then be nothing more than handing him his severance check.
"OK, next question"
Just FYI, if you’re referencing the sound bite the team posted on social media where he talked about this stuff, that was recorded at least a week ago. That’s where they got the little snippets about the individual players like McTavish, Lacombe, etc. Not that it necessarily makes a difference, but just wanted to make it clear he didn’t say that after the season was over.
Well to improve the roster they have to make room for new players (or Strome getting demoted to 4th line although unlikely) so that means someone is getting traded or let go (Lundestrom/Leason/Harkins). I think there may even be a Dman being traded
I think it's a given that those 3 at the very least will be non-tendered. Heck, Leason already was once, but came back on a cheaper deal, I suppose Harkins can be brought back as an AHL call up type guy, but for sure the 4th line needs to be remade in a bad way, and more than just hoping Washe/Gaucher stick.
Getting extended insight into how Cronin's message and verbal implementation of approaches, systems, strategies, etc. are sinking in for the players and ask them how they feel about that, their place on the team, what they need to work on next year, their outlook on the team and their place on the team, can be tough to do with whole roster during the regular season.
I’ve said multiple times I didn’t care either way but whatever helps you sleep at night
