Confirmed with Link: John Hynes to be named head coach

Duchene is only a 70 point player in contract years.

Somewhat true. Still a 61 point player on average.

I think it's only a good thing in the sense that we could not possibly do any worse than we are right now? Even a new Poile pick would inevitably be better?

It can always be worse. Always.

I'm not yet sold on removing Poile, altho that might be because I'm not sure of any good alternatives for GM out there that would be an upgrade. Hynes, OTOH... I'm pretty much done.
