Has there been any indication that the coach wouldn’t be Hakstol next season?
That makes sense. I don’t know if Hakstol quite deserves to be fired. But he’s not going to be the coach when the Kraken are good.
Hakstol was a finalist for COTY last season! Isn’t firing him after one subpar season a bit premature?
I see what he did with Pittsburgh and get really excited. I also look at Buffalo and get nervous. Now I see he is the head coach of Coachella and get really excited again. All to say that I have mixed feelings.
Not sure how you can strip all the supplementary scoring from the lineup and expect Hakstol to repeat the outstanding season we had in 22-23. Bylsma would be the absolute worst choice for a new HC and at a bizarre time. Friedman likely just trying to have a hot take on the Kraken here.
