Why does stuff like this always happen when I'm at work!!

I like the Bylsma fire obviously. I'm a bit shell-shocked by Murray's firing but if we get the right guy it could be positive.

A few things that have - I'm sure been talked to death on here but I'm not back reading.

- You can probably kiss Antipin goodbye which really sucks
- Petersen depending on who we bring in could actually have a positive effect
- How does this impact the Swedish players like Olofsson and Asplund?
- What about Kane?
- Vegas situation is probably way worse off now. Probably stuck with much more players than we would've liked now..
They better have a damn good plan in place and quck,

My biggest concern about firing TM before the expansion draft is: what about that "favor" vegas apparently owed him and how will it come back to bite us in the butt?

Why is everyone bringing up Antipin? He has one year left on his KHL deal. Bring him up next season.

It affects everything. Whoever you bring in will have different philosophy's and favor different players. The new GM may hate some of the players Murray acquired or drafted.

The biggest thing for me is the expansion draft. Whoever comes in has a ridiculous amount of work to do in very little time.

With Rob Murphy out of the organization, chances of new front office signing Viktor Antipin decreases.

Is this overreacting because of Toronto?
I may think so a bit.

Oh they're taking Ullmark or Falk for sure now. No doubt about it. We're likely stuck with at least 3/4ths Badgosian, Gorges, Ennis and Moulson

Maybe, although its worth noting that whichever new gm comes in will most likely want his own guys. Its also possible the working relationship with Tim was good enough that they might not have stuck around anyways.
