They not have a replacement lined up?

 

[MardyBum]

Shame, was such a clown. Now we only have the clown GM to laugh at. This is Garfunkel without Simon.

Probably the right thing to do if you wanna convince yourself you're trying to make the playoffs

I'm looking forward to a kinder gentler Wild.

Why? Just because he was doing a bad job?

 

[Teemu]

Definitely his fault and not the GM who put $15M of dead cap on the books

Why? Just because he was doing a bad job?

plenty of coaches do a bad job and won't get fired but two main board threads is inexcusable.

Unfortunate, I look forward to every Minny game where Dean would cry about diving and tears would come down his face after getting dominated.

f***.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

John Hynes gets another shot?! Really?

 

[eojsmada]

Amazing.

[LevelingSolo]

Going back to his job at Dunder Mifflin I would imagine

 

[Bonin21]

Eight coaches from pre-Covid
Twenty from calendar 2022 or later
Four in between that

Tough gig

Fletcher is out of the league now. Without guerins buyouts we would be already in cap recapture trouble with Zach Parise out of the league currently.
