I'm actually surprised they fired Hakstol for the exact reasoning Friedman gives. Sure they missed this year, but hey first playoff in team history has to count for something?

Anyways Hak sucks, Bylsma sucks even more, and lol at their roster of weaponized cap space. Disaster in drafting Ron.

All these coaches being fired and the Penguins haven't even so much as gotten rid of an assistant from a staff that's missed the playoffs two years in a row and had like the 31st ranked powerplay this year

the Capitals were a Real Bad Team but lol, every single veteran was basically garbage, especially Ovechkin. He's worse on defense than just being on the PK and despite end of season success of just standing in the offensive zone, he's just too immobile to be an offensive threat

upside everyone under the age of 39 was pretty good, except Tom Wilson, who is just going back into straight up dumb goon mode

They didn't re-sign any of the end of contract coaches in WBS so I wouldn't be shocked if they hire NHL ready coaching staff there.

Also I'm pretty sure Rierden is unofficially gone since they didn't renew his contract when it expired at the end of the season.

If Keefe doesn't get another head coach offer right away after the Leafs fire him, Dubas will undoubtedly want to hire him to replace Rierden--I wonder if Sullivan will push back on that.

It’s legit insane that Sullivan has any say in the Penguins front office decisions, guy hasn’t made it past the first round in 6 years lol

That's true, but the dirty little secret is that after 2018 the Penguins' talent level was strictly first/second round fodder. The back-to-back Cups and the huge names make you think they should have been contending for the Cup every year but it really hasn't been so for a while now. They have not been majorly underperforming the talent on their rosters. Very mildly underperforming at worst. IMO Sullivan has even up through this year done a perfectly fine job, strictly as a coach.

Now you can argue that the underwhelming talent is in large part because Sullivan doesn't actually understand his own system and veteranhugs to a ridiculous degree, and I will not disagree with you.

I get that two cups wins a lot of good will (as it should) but he didn't win those cups for FSG or Dubas so I dunno why they're so wedded to him.

Even if you don't wanna fire him there's no way you run it back with Reirden and Vellucci. Sullivan should get new assistants and then if they still suck the heat should be on him.

The snow ball started with the Reaves trade and then everything went down that slope fast. The Kessel trade and Hornqvist getting hosed over are just icing on the cake. Then the pile of UFAs that have/haven't worked that well.

TJ Oshie sounds like he's going to LTIRire.

Dude is a Caps legend. He's broken down now but he was fantastic from 2015-2018. Still can't believe the Blues traded him for Troy Brouwer and change.

It isn't. Reaves was in 2017 for a 1st and Oskar Sunqvist. Additionally, Jimmy added Matt Hunwick for 3 years and 2.25 per. 8 months later Reaves is dumped for Brassard with a laundering through Vegas, but mostly important...a 1st to Ottawa that became K'andre Miller when New York traded up to grab him at 22 in 2018. The Hunwick deal was whatever but Jimmy then dumped him with Conor Sheary to Buffalo for a conditional 4th. Thennnnnn he signed JMFJ. Point being Reaves kicked off the poo poo shower. Everything since has been bleeding assets to 'fix' mistakes and then making new worse mistakes.
