I think people are forgetting - we're dealing with coaches who have been fired.
If Julien is fired - it's because he was partially to blame for Boston's failures since their cup win. Is he entirely responsible? No. Is he an upgrade over Cameron? Yes. Can he work out for us if we get him? Yes.
But you don't just hand him the keys to the city.
I think people are going crazy with valuing coaches and their salaries. Babcock chose to leave. He didn't get fired.
He's an all-time great coach. Toronto decided "hey since there's no salary cap on coaches, advisors, scouts lets just buy them all".... and they did.
I don't care if Desmarais and a bunch of his billionaire friends buy the club and relocate to LeBreton - we still wouldn't be big enough to do what Toronto did. Melnyk is not the problem when it comes to coaching.

For everyone saying 5 million, what about the guys at the other end? Trotz for 1.5, Hitchcock for 1.2...I doubt Julien is going to get 5 million to coach anywhere. He'll get something similar to Bylsma....3 million for 5 years.
