I believe they will hire new assistant coaches, but Granato job is safe.

Unfortunately I think you're right with Granato's job being safe. The assistants need to go.

I can't see the Pegula paying for a big name coach I think they would done that by now. Ruff might be interesting but I think his goalies saved him to many times with Levi and UPL he might do well.

He could be an option but I think New Jersey will take the interim tag off of Green in the offseason.

Should have never let Peca go, guess Donnie didn't want to be looking over his Shoulder. Wilford definitely needs to go and bring in Tim Connolly to help with your PP, Cause it Sucks and probably cost you a playoff spot this year.
