After kekalainen mortgaged the jackets future at the deadline and went all in for a cup, if they miss the playoffs, is Kekalainen’s job at risk?
They will be awful next season when Panarin, Bobrovsky, Duchene etc all walk and they have no big prospects or draft picks coming up either (no first or second in next two drafts).
I do not know if he was on the hot seat to get them into the playoffs? Or did he just decide to go all in himself and possibly fail miserably?
Just curious what others think about this. If they miss the playoffs this will look awful, being the biggest buyer at the deadline... had that ever even happened?
Would not be fair to a new GM though, he had nothing to build on now either. Would be a very tough feat.
