Wasn't there a poster who said D Sedin told him that the management offered the job to Eakins who eventually declined for Edmonton?
I mean, Eakins comes off as an egoist in the media and I'm definitely glad we have Tortorella but let's not spin it in a way that says "WE KNEW ALL ALONG THAT EAKINS WAS A JERK AND BAD COACH AND SO DID THE MANAGEMENT." For all we know, Eakins was offered the job but he turned it down for Edmonton to coach a young team, which there's nothing wrong with.
