Yeah Cooper has his team on a historic pace and Trotz and Tocchet have young squads that are doing more with less. Deboer has a roster with the two of the top defensemen in the world and incredible forward depth and he continues to get in his own way. I’d wager that if DW had fired Deboer and hired Trotz that we’d be right behind Tampa this season. He’s done wonders for the Islanders especially when you factor in them losing JT91.

The further we get from that era, the less convinced I am that Tmac was ever that good.Coaches have shelve lives.
He isn't.The further we get from that era, the less convinced I am that Tmac was ever that good.
This team with Barry Trotz behind the bench would be ridiculous. I wonder if DW even reached out to him.
He isn't.
I think he's worse than DeBoer, I even thought that when I was dead against the DeBoer hiring from the start.
It's kind of like choosing between throwing up and having diarrhea. Whatever one you'd rather do if you had to choose either, it's DeBoer. And whatever one wouldn't be your first choice, it would be McLellan.
I hate throwing up. I rarely ever do it and I really destroy myself when I do it, as I'm using muscles that don't get used very often, due to my lack of throwing up. I'm a real baby about throwing up. So I'd say, McLellan is the puke, DeBoer is the diarrhea for me.McLellan has to be vomiting in this analogy given his interviews, right?
Quenneville, yes. Hedican, no.I actually am quite fond of the guy, but I absolutely would fire PDB in that case if either quenneville or Hedican want the job
Serious question.
If we go into the playoffs with a healthy roster (minus Simek) and still lose to Vegas in the 1st round, does PDB get fired?
I think if we have a 1st round exit AND EK65 does not re-sign, the bigger question will become if DW is on the hot seat. I don't think EK65 not re-signing would be on DW but since he is the GM he made the trade, I would think he would be held responsible for that anyway.Doubtful. The easy out is goaltending so it'd be interesting if they saw it that way to see what they'd do about it given Jones' contract and the organization's lack of anyone being ready for that role. After giving DeBoer an extension, I have a hard time believing that this organization would fire him and pay another coach. That and if worst case scenario of all UFA's walking and/or retiring, what would be the point?

Also, losing to the same team two years in a row? I mean I agree that you can blame goal tending for that but that would just be an easy out like you said. The bigger problem would end up being the team defense which is on PDB.
The Sharks don't have 42 players on their roster.I'm betting 359 of the 401 have no idea who Haley is.
He was on Florida to start the year.The Sharks don't have 42 players on their roster.
Don’t forget Ryan Reaves. He knows who he is too.The Sharks don't have 42 players on their roster.
