Grimes and I were chatting and thought Los Angeles would be a natural fit for DT.
As for Arizona, I'd be fine with Lamb on a one year. Anyone but Tippett, really.

I wouldn't want him coaching a direct rival. It would be better if he were to coach Boston or Philly.
How are they going to get out from under that contract?

Typically in any takeover there are funds set aside to remove unwanted personnel.

This news will make my summer.
Adios Tippett and thank you for taking over for Gretzky.
His system is a piece of hot garbage

No coach can turn a team around faster than Darryl Sutter. I saw him do it in person in Calgary and we saw what he did in LA.

After the Doan thing, I feel like this was inevitable. And under any other circumstances, I would be thrilled about it because this team, more than any other in the NHL, needs a real fresh start.
I just can't help thinking that this is Barroway prettying up the house for a sale.

Is Sutter going to take direction from Chayka? Only works if Lombardi comes in as President.
If Chayka remains then I go after Keefe.

Yep. In favour.
Interesting tidbit. Attended a dinner and sat with Kris King many years back. He told us about how much Tocchet and he despised one another.

I would be a big supporter of Bob Hartley. Yes, he has a 3 year shelf life, but he knows to get young players to perform and has experienced a lot of success with young teams.
This is just another move that is part of the process. Trust it folks, everything is going to be fine. The team ain't going anywhere.

If Tippett gets hired by another team, the Coyotes don't have to pay him. That's probably what Dater means. The Coyotes want to remove him, but only if they can be sure he's headed somewhere besides the golf course. If he can find a job, they'll ditch him. That's my read, anyway.

Barroway didn't get the team until the 12th. They may have been working on Tippett over the last week. Buffalo supposedly was "this" close to signing Capuano and backed out at the last minute. Maybe Tippett is their guy and we've been attempting to convince Wendy the Buffalo isn't "that" cold.
He owned 54%. He's had a year to put together a plan. He knew the endgame. He knew who he wanted to keep and replace. All I can say is from a manager perspective he's off to what can only be described as a horrific start and all I see I still just another lost season ahead. Are we out of it but October or November this year?
If this is accurate, it is a cost cutting move. I expect Tip will take a buyout of less than he is owed or he is allowed to find a new head coach position so the coyotes don't have to eat his contract. The new coach will not be a Suter or name brand coach because of money. New coach will be on a cheap deal, probably young with no head coaching NHL experience. I think this move is about money.
