Senators Need To Calm Down Before Making Any Decisions

from Elliotte Friedman of the CBC at his blog From the Pressbox,
What Melnyk needs now is front-office stability. To fire the GM and the coach one year after reaching the Stanley Cup Final, well, that’s not intelligent. Good teams don’t do that. No one has a better idea of how to fix this Gong Show than Murray, and he deserves the opportunity. Let’s not forget that he was the architect of the current Stanley Cup champion and the bench boss of the reigning – but soon to be dethroned – Eastern Finalist.
Also, it would be a mistake to bring in someone new, since it would take that person time to evaluate the organization before making decisions. Critical decisions – such as dealing Jason Spezza before his no-trade kicks in – must be made before July 1. Any genius can tell you Ray Emery has to go, but only specific insight can figure out what’s really wrong in that rotten room. This is not something that can be considered into next season.
Update 1:02pm ET: More thinking about the Senators for next year, from Spector at FoxSports and Michael Farber at Sports Illustrated.
