I don't really think the coaching staff is the problem, but it's hard to pass up this coaching market. I've always been a fan of Lavi.

It doesn't matter who actually hires the coach. The track record leaves this completely and Leonsis feet. There's been one non rookie coach hired since he bought the team and that's the one that won a cup. None of the others have been out of the 2nd round. There is no one else to blame as he's allowed it.
Weight? The rest of those guys are all too expensive for Leonsis. He wont pay that.
He also gets teams to win quick - which is important right now tooGallant made all four lines threatening in a superstar-less Vegas team in 2018. That's appealing for a team that struggles to score outside of the top 6 (and can't if they're having a rough game).
If reirden is not gone this offseaon, this also becomes a gm discussion.
While I agree with the broad sentiment, I think the reality is GMBM’s hands will be somewhat tied by Ted. The Caps are facing a potentially very expensive year if there are no or limited ticket sales, so it’s hard to see Ted being okay with writing off the rest of TR’s contract and hiring someone new and expensive.
Wasn't Carlyle still in Anaheim, which fired him after Washington fired Boudreau (and immediately announced Hunter) presumably to get Boudreau?Leonsis chose Hunter over Carlyle
It’s amazing how you can see the future. Well except for being wrong about Backstrom playing 3C tonight... And a few other things.

Maclellan should be fired as he is unable to advice Ted then. Get Some1 who can slap that old fools notebook out of his lap.
