The Shorks don't need to get rid of Quinn, they just need a coach who isn't going to destroy our prospects moral and development by playing them in the NHL and getting trounced 10-1 every week, ending a season with less than 20 points and a -90. Couture and Barabanov aren't going to do much for this team. Instead of losing 10-1, we will lose 6-1. Hanifin is 26 years old. He will be well past his prime by the time this team is anywhere near the playoffs. I'll take the two very high 2nds over Hanifin every time as a year one rebuilding team. Hoffman, Duclair, Labanc and Granlund all have negative value. By the time of the TDL, Duclair will have less than 20 points and be worth less than a 4th with half retained. As far as calling up ANY promising prospect, that is the firmest NO. Leave Gushchin and Muk in the AHL. Ozzy won't turn into anything, so call him up if you want, you can't ruin a bust. Just except that EDM or PIT will get Celebrini and that the Shorks will draft the safest pick, and not the one with the highest ceiling. We also wont draft any high end goalies and make excuses about how they are hard to judge.
