Maybe Chiarelli is resigning. I don’t think that’s out of the realm of possibility. He insisted on the POHO title when he was hired because he wanted full control and it was given to him. I said, after he was hired and we found out Lowe and company were staying, that we’d know for certain that he didn’t have that full control if he left early.
I know many here want him fired and I understand it. Unless they’re firing both Chiarelli and Mclellan together, his dismissal doesn’t make much sense to me. Coaches go first, that’s just the way it works. Not only that but Mclellan hasn’t proven to be so worthy of his job that he survives Chiarelli.
Chiarelli’s silence this week does seem odd to me so maybe something is up. Don’t rule out the idea of him just leaving or he and the team announcing they’ve decided to part ways.
I was thinking this as well, but if Chia steps down/is sacked, McLellan likely isn't long for the team either.
It's almost guaranteed the new guy is going to want to bring in his own guy as coach (unless they just give the GM spot to someone already in the organization like Gretzky).
