But...

Darche/Collins are going to be certainly asked about who will stay and who will go. There would be no reason to schedule this press conference without at least deciding on the coaching staff. It's going to be the #1 question the press are going to want an answer for...And truth is, it should be Darche's first order of business. Lord knows he's been a candidate for a month so if he wasn't thinking about what he'd do with Roy before he was even hired I'd be disappointed.

I could understand Darche wanting to wait and evaluate the assistant GMs, scouting department, etc, but to not get an answer on Roy today would be shocking (and make me question what they've been doing/why even schedule the press conference yet).

Called it. Literally first question asked was about Roy.


(And they even had the Tweet fired up and ready to go)
