Chopper I agree with your comments fully and if hadn't been for Dixon not going to resign a new contract we wouldnofbhad the same coaching staff this season. This love is flat out a business move has nothing to do with the hockey side of things. With 1yr left on his deal and now having to hire 2 new assistants which would be min 2yr deals and with nothing saying they would offer a new contract to. Cameron why hire 2 with odds of having to fire them after the season anyways. Makes more sense to fire 1 then to fire 2 which would cost more money in the long run.
I for one am not happy about this firing but running my own business I do understand more on the business side of things more now then I did say 5yrs ago. I'm going out on a limb here and say that I doubt Lang will be fired next unless it happens today as it makes zero sense to have him hire another coach but then to fire him afterwards as well.
