Did Peter Deboer’s availability cause another team to gas a better coach again?

We can only hope.

Wow.  Really thought he'd be the sacrificial lamb for NEXT year's failure.

If they're "smart" but yeah, all their best players are out or retiring and they let Cassidy go too.

Feels like a tank to me, jus sayin.

Love the press release.  Everybody (GM, Team President, & Owner) loves the guy& says he's a great coach, but they want to move in a different direction.

Alrighty then.

I wonder if they are doing him a favor by not having his record affected by what’s coming in Boston.

Hall + Krueger = miss the playoffs + lottery win = Bedard.

Oh! And trade for Eichel this offseason before his NMC kicks in while everyone else is on LTIR. Then LTIR Eichel down the stretch. This is the way.

-8th in NHL in Regulation Wins
-Goals Against per Game 4th best (with Swayman & Ullmark!)
-Penalty Kill 9th/PP 15th best
-Shots per Game 2nd highest
-Shots Against per Game 3rd lowest

So let’s fire the coach? 

??

I find it hard to blame Cassidy for losing all the road games to a 116-point 1st seed Carolina team in the opening round of the playoffs (even if Ullmark wasn't great in the first 2 games.) Carolina continued to win all their games at home until game 7 against the Rangers & Shesterkin.

I would think he would’ve resigned if that was the case. Getting relieved/fired isn’t saving your record.

Yeah, I have to laugh like hell- all these guys bail to teams that about to self-destruct (except for Reino/FLA I guess).

Good, keep dismantling that scum team. I hope Marchand and Bergeron request a trade next.

That tweet is likely right. Cassidy was a good coach who had a solid defensive system and the team stats show that, but he's also a little out of step with the times and the direction of the league. He was horrible and far too demanding with young players. Guys like Studnicka would show promise, play well offensively and then make one defensive error and it was back to Providence. As said above, he was in some ways the anti Granato. 

Those defensive stats above were impressive, but goals for was only 15th, PP was average, the offense was really not that good. Tank? Change of direction? No idea, but that does open a playoff spot for sure.

Isn't Bergeron an UFA?
