Pegula is not firing Bylsma... unless Murray absolutely convinces him otherwise. Ive already resigned, but haven't you listened to murray's conference? Those discussions are all happening this week with Pegula... I did listen to it... didn't get the impression he was firing Bylsma unless he himself was fired... and then the writings on the wall at that point.

I have no doubt that if GMTM was in a hurry to unload Bylsma that he'd have done it. I suspect he's not in a hurry and sees no reason why he shouldn't chat with Terry about it first. What's the rush?

I suspect he's not in a hurry and sees no reason why he shouldn't chat with Terry about it first. What's the rush? Why would he wait to can him? He would've been gone the day after the season ended if he was going to get fired. If my GM needs to have a talk with the owner before firing the coach, then I'm not sure he's man enough for the job. And how long would that conversation really last... it only takes a 5-min conversation to tell him you want to relieve Bylsma of his duties and go another direction. If the owner disagrees, then too bad... he hired you to be GM, he should let you do your job. That said, I'm firmly confident Murray has the authority to fire Bylsma on his own and would've done so after the season ended if that was the direction he wants to take. Ultimately, TM will be judged on the team's record over his tenure... and he should have authority to manipulate the players/coaches however, whenever he wants to get that done.

It's also possible Terry said hold on, fella, let's talk in Florida, which, if true, would be a hint that Terry is being advised by some other hockey people on a new direction for the whole operation, given the abomination that is happening in Toronto, a stick in the eye that has to rankle the masterfracker to his core. Which would explain Murray's cryptic (and sphinctery) "If I'm back." Ladies and gentleman, president of hockey operations Lindy Ruff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it's very possible that at some point Terry wanted DB fired and GMTM went to bat for him. Now he's had a change of heart, wants to fire Dan, and Terry wants to have a little talk about it to make sure they're on the same page first. If I were Terry I might want to have an exit interview with my GM after my GM has exit interviews with everyone else, right? That's only fair to the owner of the team.

LGR4GM Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Pegula? Who cares about Pegula? I have no doubt that if GMTM was in a hurry to unload Bylsma that he'd have done it. I suspect he's not in a hurry and sees no reason why he shouldn't chat with Terry about it first. What's the rush? I have three ideas as to what is happening. 1) Tim Murray like Dan Bylsma as coach enough to keep him into next season. Injuries, player attitudes, and a disconnect btw players and coaches is all to blame and can be fixed. 2) Tim Murray sorta wants to fire Bylsma but because he was a moron and gave him a 5yr deal he has to talk to Pegula first and see where Pegula is at. Pegula will probably want Tim to wait out the next year to see if Bylsma can turn it around and Murray agrees to give it a shot with a better roster. 3) Tim Murray has seen enough and wants to fire Bylsma. The problem is the coaches that he would replace him with are on playoff teams and he can't talk to them during a season. Since Bylsma has nothing to do with scouting or the draft, Murray is content to wait and talk to his preferred coaching options after the Stanley Cup is awarded. Personally right now, I think it is option 1. It makes me wanna barf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
