More and more talk around the NHL about which NHL coach will get fired first. The two leading candidates are Ed Olczyk at Pittsburgh and Jaques Martin in Florida.
The 2nd tier of coaches on the hotseat are Mike Sullivan in Boston and Steve Stirling of the Islanders.
If they are replaced, who would replace them? I am sure Dave Lewis would be one of the names tossed around.

I hate to agree with anything Strachan says, but Martin is all but done.
I say no more than two weeks left for him.

I’ll pay for Stirling’s bus ticket out of Long Island…

Yawney is lost in Chicago, but cheapskate Wirtz won’t lost that salary.

Lets not forget about Gerard Gallant and/or Doug MacLean in Columbus.
Both are feeling the heat.

Good point about Gallant and MacLean.
Although I think they both have some time left, now if Nash comes back and the losing continues....

If Maclean and Gallant weren’t boyhood friends, I think Gallant would already be gone, in fact, may not have gotten the job in the first place. But, if Maclean knows his job in on the line (which it is), I think Gerard gets thrown under the bus.

I hope Milbury would go before Stirling
