I highly doubt this, Hynes has made many dumb decisions over the season and playing LJ in OT is an example of this.
Among other things. As I said, if you wanna say Hynes has done no negatives and has done nothing to make the team worse, I won't fight you on it.
If you're gonna argue that we'd be worse without him, I will fight to the death on that one. There's no way he's gotten this team to be better than they should be. No way in hell should he be credited for the team having more points than they should otherwise.
We might finish third worst in the league at this rate. Is Hynes the one who deserves credit for us not being as bad as Arizona or Colorado? I mean, really? Really? I would fire him if Sutter becomes available, because you don't give a coach carte blanche to just stick around, just because the roster is lousy. He shouldn't be immune because of it.
But I'd only fire him this offseason if Darryl Sutter is available and ONLY if Darryl Sutter is available.
Blandisi is an interesting case. Looks mediocre in bottom six but looks solid on top six and on PP.
I think he needs more top 6 time.
Wood has been okay for what he is, a 21 year that's not even 2 years removed from high school. I don't think he's a finished product yet. At least I hope not.
