Article from Hoven re: Hiller -
Hiller Not the Only Kings Coach in Limbo Right Now
Lot of question marks still. But here's a high level summary for those who can't/don't want to read:
- Hiller met management expectations of getting Kings into the playoffs and establishing mindset.
- They're leaning towards, but not 100%, removing the interim title. But they want to hear Hiller's ideas. Now that the season's over, they want to explore systemic changes for next season.
- If they keep Hiller, look for DJ Smith to follow suit
- That opens up questions about Yawney. As both are more suited to coach defensemen
- it may be a moot point anyway if McLellan goes elsewhere, and he brings Yawney with him. At which case, there may be a different assistant brought in.
- Of course, it's been mentioned before. They want to open up the offense while still being a strong team in defense/goals against.
