*Input*

Not control over who his bosses are.

Seriously, if they are firing Bylsma, fine. Good riddance.

But does Eichel now hire the new coach instead of the freaking GM or owner? You realize how silly this all looks, right?

i cant imagine it would come to that. if it was *just* eichel female doging about the coach it would be one thing.

I like that it's Eichel's team. I also think Eichel might have some growing up to do.

Is he going to be a part of interviewing new coaches? Is their any chain of command in the organization?

It happens a lot. Whether the star players just quit on a guy or hold out on contracts, this sort of thing happens a lot more than you might realize.

Hell, Chad LaRose quit hockey entirely just so that he didn't have to play for Kirk Muller anymore.

Eichel taking heat because he's pissed and wants to win but most here have been complaining for years we don't have anyone like that. Now we do and people are complaining about him.

The point im sure broads will make is that in these scenarios we're talking about guys with winning records and championships.

Lebron didnt get anyone fired in his sophomore year. He did several finals appearances later when blatt had his head so far up his ass.

And if he doesn't...?
- kingcong39

That remains to be seen with Pegula, how far does he want to take this with Bylsma ? or does he cut bait now and try to move this forward and salvage something. He was tired of Rex Ryan after we got lit up against Miami in there house.

my guess is

gionta, ror were saying the company line, to avoid rocking the boat

jack was speaking for the entire locker room, w/o forcing the hand of the letter wearers


well I am pretty sure he wasn't speaking for kulikov

LeBron had massive input in everything from day one in Cleveland.

Believing otherwise is foolish IMO.

And Eichel isn't Lebron.

Lebron makes your team a finals contender instantly. Eichel can't get us out of the bottom 10 yet.

LeBron was calling his own plays and diagraming them almost from the start, well before he 'won' anything.
