If Sullivan is seriously defending the job Reirden did last year and was trying to protect him from getting fired, the dude is an idiot and should be fired as well.

The Penguins powerplay last year had Crosby, Malkin, Letang, Guentzel and Karlsson and finished 3rd worst in the NHL. Reirden was in charge of that powerplay. How can any reasonable person be trying to fight for that guy to keep his role?

Now that Rierden was fired, Sully is going to go "Ok bitches I am signing in NJD!".

Follows that old man JR and just quits.

Because Sullivan is as bad at his job at this point as Reirden was at his.

Bye Todd. This needed to be done earlier in the season. Im sure Sully will pick some other idiot to be an assistant next year.

How many assistants need to go before Sully gets blamed?

This idea that Dundon is ‘cheap’ is just nonsense.

He’s a data driven guy that establishes the value of any part of his business and is willing to pay up to the measured value and no more.

Being unwilling to spend money foolishly is not ‘cheap’. Its smart.

He’ll pay Brindamor what he’s worth.

Could Sullivan end up in Philly with his buddy Torts? Torts moves into management level (AGM) and Sullivan gets the HC job?

Yeah but putting out articles that reaffirms everyone's belief that he's cheap drives engagement and page clicks, so guys like Dreger and Weekes will continue to push that narrative whenever they can, and O'Neill loves jumping in front of the camera to talk shit about him despite the fact that the team has dramatically ramped up off-ice spending over the years, spends to the cap every year on the ice, including going LTIR over it in a few, and literally buying draft picks from teams like Toronto and players from Montreal.

Every name you dropped in this post is a certifiable moron. I'm not surprised they peddle in bull**** when it comes to Carolina.

Bones is very highly likely retiring to be with his wife who had health issues this season. Bones is a great defensive minded asst coach, more so then HC IMO. Highly suspect the Jets make Scott A the HC next year, TBD if thats a good decision or not

He probably gets close to 7 million on the open market.

Jim Montgomery is getting fired when they lose tomorrow, but he probably gets another job easy based off his regular season success.

Could see Sweeney going for Sully as a replacement tbqh

Given that AV was making $5 mill for NYR and PHI on his last 2 stints, that should be close to the number for the top of the line HC in the league.
Don’t think so, RB is better, hec Babcock was getting 6.6 in Toronto, so ya I think close to 7 on the market.
