Stauffer said something on his show yesterday about Spector not being here for the Chia conference. I assumed he meant it would be today. But that was my assumption. So at this point I haven't heard for sure when the presser is going to be

I have a gut feeling it's gonna be status quo. Which is amazing, because there is almost universal agreement across everyone in the media and social media that Chia is a fool and made horrible deals.

Really makes you wonder whats going on behind the scenes. Just seems eerily quiet. I wonder if their offseason plan was Quennville, and now they are trying to figure out what they want to do.
Maybe its just the Broncos tragedy that has delayed everything.

I'm a bit surprised they haven't announced when it will be, makes me wonder if "something's up"

The way Stauffer said it yesterday was that he wasn't sure if Chiarelli's presser was going to be either Tuesday or Wednesday. He did make it sound like it would definitely be one of those two days.
Guess we'll find out soon enough. While it's a bit out of the ordinary to have this kind of gap, when he finally does crawl out of his couch cushion fort I expect it'll be every bit as uneventful as McLellan's was. At most, he might take the time to confirm which assistant coaches will be returning and which ones won't be having their contracts renewed...and even that announcement might be some time yet in coming.

Chia's presser paraphrased between the lines...."be prepared to be the laughing stock of the league again this year...blah blah blah...we can fix this with some more one for one trades and still have some cap space so we don't feel so clausterphobic"

It's pretty embarrassing the way he seems to be hiding in a closet somewhere.
MacT would bumble his way through interviews where he would repeatedly make himself look like a moron while refusing to take any responsibility, but at least he showed his face.

Makes sense, but I don't think it's completely unheard of if it's decided that the coaching staff was a point of weakness and they've found some else they think is an improvement.
Reading the tea leaves, I would think there's going to be a press conference tomorrow, Chiarelli will no longer be GM, Paul Fenton or Norm McIver (AGM in Chicago) brought in to replace him, the assistant coaches fired, not sure on replacements.
Edit: Chia is just straight POHO.
Zero chance of any of that happening.
Chia and Mclellan will get one more kick at the can which might be a kick in the nuts for us but they aren't firing them one year removed from a 103 point season.
They might change an assistant coach or two with Coffey being the likely replacement IMO to rejuvenate the PP.

I'd rather have Mac T as the GM than PC right now.....

We need a game here at HFOil where you make up the stupidest story you can think of and if it actually comes true you get.... well, nothing I guess.
But yeah Coffey is going to be hired.

Ok then, they haven't announced anything, so things are still up for interruption imo. I would say and will say, that if Chiarelli is moved to just POHO, it will be Nicholson's call.
If Chia and TMac don't get fired and they come out flat next year, this is just a delay of the inevitable, imo.

The ego on Katz & Co is truly something to behold, just keep adding players from the glory years, that’ll fix everything.

My guess is he's waiting to have his presser after he fires Tmac. The delay is probably due to the Humboldt tragedy. They're letting things cool down for a bit first.

Doesn't sound like he'll be doing it today.
Maybe somebody should check in on him, make sure he's OK and isn't passed out cold on his kitchen floor?
And so far all Stauffer's been doing on his show is regurgitating audio bits with Drai/Lucic/McLellan that were already run yesterday, so I'm wondering if the radio show's been left a bit floundering too.
Maybe something is up? Really hard to say.
