KK was fired because of how terrible he was, literally one of the worst coached and ran AHL franchises in history. I'm not sure what you're even trying to argue here?There is a very long list of players & coaches not getting along in sports for various reasons, we've seen it numerous times. Fans can take whatever sides they want but KK has a long resume of coaching & has a Calder Cup for this franchise. What is on Perron's resume other than having this one good yr so far in the minors & an appearance at the Memorial Cup?
Perron was drafted in the 7th rd (#190) one spot behind Kelly Summers, it's not like any other team saw much potential in him either. What would you say are the chances a 7th rounder has to make the NHL? And isn't it up to the player to get noticed, to do whatever it takes & get on the score sheet? PD moved a guy who was not producing & a malcontent for SJ's minor league team's leading scorer (Balcer), that should be a win for any organization, shouldn't it? Who knew he would have a good yr there & good for him, but it still doesn't mean he will amount to anything at the NHL level until he does it. Balcers could still turn out to be the better player, we'll see.
San Jose saw him when they had Meier in RN on a line with Perron, it's no surprise they asked for him, and now have put him in a position to succeed in the AHL, which he's doing.
You didn't see Batherson start off on the 4th line this year and get healthy scratched in favor of nobodies. He was put in a position to succeed, which he is doing.
He never moved Perron for Balcers, Perron was a throw in with Karlsson. If it was a trade for Balcers, sure that would be a win, but that's not even close to what it was.
