Disco Dan gone. I feel no sense of loss as I never liked him being hired in the first place.
Botterill to GM and Francis fails his way upstairs. Well, I guess that's an option. I look at Botterill's time in Buffalo and it doesn't impress. Dahlin first overall would have been picked by anyone. High firsts for Cozens and Mittlestadt not overly impressive. Couldn't build the D they needed. Skinner signing was a complete disaster. Ultimately he was fired because he objected to the firing of a bunch of his scouts. You don't get to say no to Terry Pegula. idk, I guess you learn on the job, but at this point I'm not impressed.
I do wonder if they will leave the assistant coaches for the new coach to hire/fire. I hope they don't as that would be potentially awkward to place the new coach in a position of having to potentially fire the only woman coach in the league. They should clean house totally to avoid that.
Don't like Francis failing upwards. Just don't like it.
New coach? Pandolfo, Carle, Tocchet? Lots of possibilities.
