Haven't seen it yet but HNIC 2nd intermission update had indications Maloney was going to be out after this year. Again I haven't seen exact wording but it's out there.

What?

Would be incredibly stupid.

Would be incredibly stupid.

I'm obviously not a fan but new owner may want new management plus Regeir issue and AHL debacle.

If they bring in Doug mAcLean I may need a couple of days.

If Maloney gets fired, I'd start worrying about a draft day trade. GMs that have no real cause to be fired only ever get fired because they aren't telling 'ownership' what they want to hear. Drinking the koolaid and thinking you know best never has good results.

Mhm. "rebuild not happening fast enough"

Leblanc was literally on the broadcast saying this was "the fastest rebuild ever"

I can't think of any valid reasons to fire Maloney

The Arizona Coyotes missed the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season, which has led to questions regarding the future of head coach Dave Tippett and general manager Don Maloney.

“One other situation to watch is Arizona,” Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman said Saturday during the Headlines segment on Hockey Night in Canada…”Dave Tippett and Don Maloney have done a great job under very difficult circumstances but there are rumblings. Tippett has an out but it’s believed he wants to stay.

“(I) don’t know Maloney’s status. He, like many people in the organization, are not commenting.”

please leave Dave.

Obviously pretty thin phrasing though I did find it interesting there was another mention of the nebulous Tippett out.

Also some food for thought, I don't think anyone knows how long Maloney's deal is for.

I'd miss Don, but we obviously need a kick in the pants. This might help. If we immediately do something stupid afterwards and Maloney was just let go because he was not on board, I will not be happy.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Is this the same Sportsnet that let Kypreos say we'd trade OEL, Domi, and our 1st for Matthews?

Yeah, I'll believe it when someone else says something.

Should probably update the title to include Tippett.

I hope this is not a power play by DT to get Maloney out. They've never had a cordial working relationship in my mind. But if DT says "Yeah, I'll stay if you give me someone new to work with" then I can see Maloney being let go. I can also see that happening if Maloney wants to fire Playfair but DT protests.

What moves did he miss out on or went poorly that Tippett wasn't absolutely for? Ribiero? Smith? DT has his hands on everything.

Both go or nobody goes.

When you actually watch it, it's "meh" at best. Sounds like pure speculation guy with "rumblings" thrown in. Big grain of salt on this one.

Fire all the coaches first.

 

[Grvmnd]

I'd fire tip 10x before gmdm. Poor guy had nothing but weak hands for years and still manages to trade rape more than most. Craig button disagrees too. Thinks we're set up very well.

This is what you get when there are no Canadian teams in the playoffs.

Just like with the OEL for number one pick.

Friedman is pretty hooked in (as the email leaks showed) so I consider it more than baseless speculation. Pretty sure after four years of no playoffs plus new ownership, jobs are under consideration.

 

[Mosby]

This started a week or so ago in a Garrioch column. I don't buy it.

I don't think anyone knows how long Maloney's deal is for.

IIRC, the NHL signed both Tipp and GMDM to identical 5 year, $10M contracts.

 

[KG]

By new ownership do they mean Barroway?

Agreed. Tipp has had more than a coach's fair voice in roster decisions to date.

If you watch the video it's pretty "meh". They're just killing time. It's nothing.

 

[Matias Maccete]

Interesting, my preference would be both don and tip or just tip. It does seem like mostly them filling air time though.

If they want new management, they should start by getting a new coach, then start talking about a new GM.

GMDM should definitely be kept around.
