Does Hextall have any other kids who played college hockey?Doesn't matter. The next hire will be terrible as well
This is the correct answer.With all of the media and fans calling for Hakstol's head, Hextall will not fire him just out of spite and to try and prove he knows more than anyone else!!
I like the Reggie Dunlop comparables, player/coach. But what's his relationship to Brett?

I believe for Hextall the situation is still short of a disaster (and we all know a 10 game losing streak is not one here) Hextall will wait for a 'turnaround' or for the near ideal replacement to become available. (Off season?)
Not replacing him with an equivalent.
No real talent Coaching talent is available now - so ticking it out for at least the season. (And if we win a playoff round or two you're probably looking at two more years of Hakstall.)
Because he continually passes up the opportunity to grab quality experienced veteran coachs, most recently Trotz.
Win a playoff round?! HaHaHaHaHa.
Well....s* happens. I've seen bigger surprises .
This team is not making the Playoffs without a coaching change, let alone winning a round.
Even if they made it as a Wild Card, they'd get crushed by Pittsburgh, Washington, Toronto, or Tampa Bay; the 4 teams they'd be most likely to face assuming the Standings finish as expected.
