It wasn't in great shape when he took over.

I know next to nothing about hockey but explain to me how you accumulate a shit ton of assets over the past 4 years and don't trade any of them for a quality goalie. Would seem like a team that hasn't had a good goalie in 25 years might want to get one. Yes i know they have prospects in the system but they're not ready to play i guess.

I don't think Hextall has been good. The coaching hire was awful. Could you explain how the franchise has been destroyed though?

If Hextall is gone, Hakstol is close behind.

There were some rumblings that Dave Scott maybe had at least a little bit of Snider in him. I think this is good news.

GM is going to want his own coach. Hak ain't staying.

Some speculation that Hextall got fired precisely because he refused to fire Hakstol.

So Holmgren went to Hextall and asked him to fire Hakstol and then he didn't budge, right? And then lost his own job in the process.

Just missed a chance to bring Hitchcock back for his 77th NHL season
