The latest Tocchet interview with Morgan was depressing. He’s really proud of how much the team has improved. Just stay the course. Things are great.

It will be this one. We'll get boned by the COVID schedule and be clearly the team who has it hardest. And then a key player will be injured for the entire season. And maybe they'll finish with a 2pt pace higher than last season anyway, and it will be "improvement" despite some tough circumstances.I expect nothing and he still finds a way to disappoint.
Only "good" thing I can take from that is this: If he doesn't think he needs to improve, the team will continue to struggle and there HAS to be a point he gets fired sooner rather than later. That seems logical... but it's the Yotes we are talking about so all bets are off.
Worst case scenario for me is that he improves just enough to get an extension, or somehow gets yet another excuse to bail him out.
Tocchet has a marketing plan plain and simple. The only thing he can hang his hat on is the fact the team improved slightly. He can't point to individual success, he can't point to special teams success, he literally has a single bullet in his marketing gun, so he has to play it over and over again, hoping people have tunnel vision and can't see all the ways the team is crap with him as coach.
This after the team became a cap-team, with players not being traded for because they were cheap, but because he (and, of course the GM) liked them.
I sure hope you’re right. So far BA strikes me as a perfect mark for Tocchet.He won't get a new head coach contract from Bill or any other team.
That's great news. If they stay the course RT will be fired.The latest Tocchet interview with Morgan was depressing. He’s really proud of how much the team has improved. Just stay the course. Things are great.
I would say the sooner the better, but you are right about the situation. No need to do it just yet, especially when you still haven't got the team you want.Given the wonkiness of the world right now I wouldn't be surprised if they see this upcoming season (assuming it happens) as a throwaway season so why eat the cash from firing Tocchet.
I wouldn't wait for the deadline, let it be known your open for business now. Black Friday special, get 2 for the price of 1...It’s true. This feels like such a lame duck year. Like BA would have traded half the vets anyway if there was a market. So it’s really just go through the motions until around TDL time and try to offload as many as possible. Same for the coaches probably.
The death rattle of the corpse of Chayka’s plan.I wouldn't wait for the deadline, let it be known your open for business now. Black Friday special, get 2 for the price of 1...
If we can get 1sts before the deadline for 2 do it. If not holdout until then when the cap hits are easier to take.
As a fan who especially wants to watch games this year with COVID going on, I want a competive team for most of the season.

Peca? He has not coached in over 6 seasons. And even then it was only Ontario Junior Hockey.Cory Stillman and Mike Peca being discussed as candidates to replace McLean.
Stillman would be a good hire. Peca would be an absolute joke. Complete sham.Cory Stillman and Mike Peca being discussed as candidates to replace McLean.
