I'm not worried that Boucher is necessarily a bad coach.
I'm worried that he's completely lost the room.
A lot of plauers say he hasn't but something has to change next year.

Well, I'm not a huge fan of this move, but you'd think Dorion would know after the exit interviews if the players wanted him back.I'm not worried that Boucher is necessarily a bad coach.

There is not a short enough leash
Why the wait and BS media comments... terribleLol this all $$$$$$$ related.
100% Melnyk didn't want to be paying a 2nd coach to not be here?
Come on
Dorion has so much to learn as a a manager. Its one thing to manage scouts .. His treatment of Boucher was brutal.. especially how public he made it.This whole exercise made zero sense. Why leave Boucher to twist in the wind? Now all the players know management will can him at the first opportunity and he's basically a lame duck. Either endorse him right away but say you expect change or can him.
Hopefully they make that selection with their own pick.Hopefully he realizes soon that the NHL has transitioned to a speed game, seeing Sakic announce Jack Hughes as their selection at the 2019 draft would destroy my soul
A nice guy maybe. And great with his family likely. But boy oh boy, gotta be in the bottom 5 of NHL gm brains.Dorion has so much to learn as a a manager. Its one thing to manage scouts .. His treatment of Boucher was brutal.. especially how public he made it.

That could be,,, maybe the whole staying going thing was not cleared with Melnyk... its possible for sureI wouldn't be surprised if Dorion wanted to sack him, but Melnyk didn't want to pay another coach.
Then the whole meeting where Boucher "proves that he deserves to stay" can be used to sell hope.
No reason to throw Boucher under the bus in the meantime. All he had to do is say we were going to evaluate everything and then shut his pie hole.Maybe they were waiting to see if other coaches got fired?

Dorion doesn't know when to shut up.
He could've said "we're going to evaluate everything, including coaching." Instead he said, "If I hear rest is a weapon again I'll go crazy."
He could've said "we won't trade Erik Karlsson at the deadline." Instead he said, "Even Wayne Gretzky got traded."
He could've said "we'll do our best to re-sign Karlsson." Instead he said, "we'll offer Karlsson a contract if he's here on July 1st."
And he could have still given Boucher **** or explored Karlsson trades, but do it behind closed doors. Instead, he opens his big mouth and then complains about the media at season ticket holder town halls. All the distractions, all the controversy... it's his own doing.
