Brind'amor up for extension. Waiting on deals for assistant coaches before negotiating his own.

Fun challenge for whatever coach replaces him. If they rally through the series to win but then fall behind in the semis, do they bring Kravets back?

Mike Grier continues to misstep.

Why? Because the guy wasn't doing his job and getting paid/taking advantage of the Sharks organization? Selected the wrong guy?

Or because the Sharks wouldn't have a dedicated boots on the ground scout in Russia? (Their work around this season is to have Ukrainian scout go to games and have Zoom interviews with Russian native speaker.)

My comments is more towards I don’t see any consistent plan or approach to what Grier is doing in SJ. But then again I really don’t care. Was just a comment that he hired the guy and less than a year later fires him. Most times that’s an admission that you made the wrong hiring decision.

And better that than keeping guy? Could be GMMG needs to improve networking in Eastern Europe to get the right guy.

Sure. Either way it’s reinforces that he needs to be better. Don’t see many other NHL franchises running out media releases saying they are firing someone the same GM just hired a few months back.

They didn't. Reporter made announcement.

(I'm guessing in response to information he got on road trip)

Mike Grier made a lengthy verbal statement.

Mike Grier continues to misstep.
