Who will be the first NHL Coach fired

JT Kreider · Oct 30, 2019

Shero would be wise to scoop BB as soon as the Wild fire him. The sooner the better for all parties involved.

tntkid · Oct 30, 2019

Paul Maurice.

Hopefully Bourdreau followed immediately by Hynes so we can hire Bourdreau.

That would be my expectation as well

Khelandros · Oct 30, 2019

I don't think Boudreau will get fired. Guerin will probably keep him for the season while he figures out what needs to be done with the team in the summer. Then next season, after he makes his changes, if the Wild keep struggling, then Boudreau will be gone.

Naw, Chevy and Chipman give him a lot of rope. The franchise is loyal to a fault.

Ace Card Bedard · Oct 30, 2019

Jeremy Colliton

SlapshotTheMovie · Oct 30, 2019

Hynes just signed an extension this year. He wont be fired 20 games into it. Maybe 20 games into next year.

BHD · Oct 30, 2019

The Sharks had the highest expectations heading into the season. However, when was the last time DW fired a coach midseason? Darryl Sutter? As crazy as it sounds, I can see him waiting until the summer if he believes the players

The Devils, though, can’t afford to have another poor season. Unlike the Sharks, whose core is aging but still under contract, their best player - Hall - is a UFA after the season. As loyal Shero is to his people, he might have to pull the trigger.

As for the Wild, Guerin might be using this season to evaluate the state of the franchise. Therefore, I don’t see him dismissing Boudreau until the offseason.

Coming to the end of October here are coaches I see on the hot seat:

East

Blashill - Det 9 Pts out of 26 possible -
Quinn - NYR 9 Pts out of 20 possible
Cooper - TB 12 Pts out of 22 possible

West

Colliton - Chi 8Pts out of 22 possible
McLellan - LA 8Pts out of 24 possible
Montgomery - Dal 11 Pts out of 28 Possible.

You might not be able to make the playoffs in the 1st month of the season but you can sure eliminate yourself.

Kranix · Oct 30, 2019

Cooper should be on the hot seat. Not seeing good things from a team that skilled, plus his in-game decisions...

General Disarray · Oct 30, 2019

Detroit, NYR, Chicago, and LA are expected to be bad though.

Dallas and TB will fire their coach. Toronto will in the summer if they don't pass the first round.

Winnipeg will give Maurice an extension.

And a Jack Adams winner Ted Nolan sits at home with no NHL gig. Hilarious.

Why is he blackballed again? I don't remember

Kings coach? Seems quick lol

It takes a lot to make Ottawa look good these days. Detroit is terrible. Is it their roster or Jeff Blashill or both? I could see him getting the axe.

It's mostly Detroit's roster.

Earlier in this thread I said no way Blashill gets fired because expectations are so low, but with the exception of last night against the Oilers, this team is somehow managing to play even crappier than its roster.

Combine that with some of Blashill's inexplicable player usage and maybe he could get the axe after all.

Need more people speaking this into existence.

That's where I'm at with the Wild. Bill Guerin probably has the best job security in the league, he never even got a shot to do anything with this team in the offseason. They'll probably just play things out, sell hard at the deadline, then re-evaluate everything (including coaching) in the Summer when they have a better picture going forward.

Agreed, the whole point of keeping Blash was that he was supposed to be good for young player development, regardless of having a winning or losing record. But lately the team has been so bad I worry that some guys might actually hurt their development by playing in that system. Good players can get worse in trash systems.

I am tempted to agree, but I think the Hawks will give him the full year.

With as much talent as the Hawks have they are playing this poorly. It appears the team has stated he is too young to coach them at this level.

Except our talent is aging fast. This is not a playoff team right now, with any coach at the helm. Most of us are prepared for a short rebuild while we intelligently attempt to get rid of dead weight contracts.

Kings players are on the hot seat more than the coach.

I can just see this wheel of teams hiring BB and getting poor results. And fans of other teams keep wanting their team to get him. And then they get him and three years later same results and other teams fans want him and on and on. Directed by David Lynch.

So basically what the Ducks got from him, then what Minny got. Yeah, he will be in the league for a while, even though he is ass.
