Proposal: Fire DeBoer

[Dynamite Time]

Those lines choices are just ridiculous
Play youre Best with youre Best players
Hintz should be with Rantanen
If you loose so be it ….

I’d pair Rantanen with Johnston and let Hintz and Robo continue what they’re capable of; hope to see them two together next season.

I want Mikko paired with Johnston. Just not with Benn.

Agree'd

Benn's play this year is eerily similar to Pavelski's last year, where it's clear that he just doesn't have it anymore and needs to be demoted, but Deboer doesn't have the balls to do it.

Ya this is what we have wanted. No one was asking for Benn to play with Mikko.

I think if we end up getting destroyed in the 1st round this year, there's a good chance he'll get fired. Nill isn't going anywhere though, zero chance he gets let go

I don't know. This season was quite a big swing with some massive contracts signed this year. I don't think Colorado being a real Cup contender would make a first round exit (and the loss of additional playoff revenue) something Gaglardi can accept.

I guess we don't know how much the Rantanen trade was something Nill really wanted to do or whether it was ordered by Gaglardi once the Stars found out he was available.

Nill has been a good soldier who has put up with some real stupid stuff from Gaglardi (the Hitchcock hiring and telling Lites to go insult their two highest paid players). Nill is also a wonderful guy with immense respect around the league. But if Gaglardi is super disappointed in an early exit, I would think a change wouldn't look like your normal firing but more like a retirement or a promotion out of the GM role.

I am fine with Deboer being let go. I don’t think he is the answer. Unfortunately I don’t know if there is an answer with some of the players on this team.

For all the talk that Pete doesn't make adjustments - Castillo's latest article highly debunks that:

Tales From The Clipped: About that Game 2 overtime, and how Dallas' best defense became a heavy forecheck.

Heavier than the earth's core.

TLDR for non subscribers - they adjusted and added a heavy forecheck with a focus on working the puck behind the net.

Fire him now while his value is the highest. Bidding starts at a 1st + prospect

PDB is a great coach.

Fire DeBoer

 

[ElGuapo]

Fire him, if he was a great coach he wouldn't need so many game 7's! He can't even win a game 1!
