“I have no intentions of firing Todd (McLellan). I want to work with the coach, and I think he’s a very good coach,” Chiarelli said over the phone from Nashville. “As far as Todd goes, and (his staff), I am not considering firing them. At this point we’re going to solve it together.”
They won't even bring in a new voice for the special teams:“But remember my press conference (on Nov. 28) with the ‘death by a thousand cuts?’ That’s still going on right now.”
Chiarelli has, among other possible solutions, considered bringing in another assistant — like long-time NHL assistant coach Perry Pearn — to help assistants Jay Woodcroft (power play) and Jim Johnson (penalty kill).
“It’s something we’ve looked at, talked about,” he admitted. That likely won’t happen, however.
