Depending on how the roster overhaul goes, I say by thanksgiving. If Bednar is leading a last place team by then while getting the type of guys he needed. he would be gone.

But I don't think that will be the case. More Youth and Speed, especially if its mobile Dmen with a healthy Varly. I can't see them being last place again

The bednar leash debate will be an intersting on to follow. Personally I think he gets the year. With similar record as his first 21 games went 9-11-1 over the year span. But it will be a rough beginning. Probably similar to our record after the TDL 5-15-1. Mainly because of what you said. Youth and inexperience. And to me that is part of the growing pains we will see.

If jost makes the team ( and that's still and IF I won't be shocked if he starts in the ahl for 20 games) , I see a similar development in his game as rants. Spotty scoring, but growth. 1st 20 games will be rough. I fully expect it to be. Also we will probably lose duchene, so filling his void in the top 6 won't come easy unless another trade happens which will probably take a top 4 dman out.

I do think Sakic will be patient with bednar this year due to the youth movement, it will be painful, and we probably won't win much but I also think it's the smart move until Sakic has moved the old core out. Theyre a package deal now. But going in and expecting 19 extra wins to be a .500 team is to me a bit to much to ask. If we can get 10 extra wins and push 70 ppints to me that's process, which is kinda why I think he gets the year. And the start of 2019.

If they are a .500 team I dont see any reason to make a swtich. It really was telling how poorly built this team was with the results this season.

But if Bednar is still getting the same results out of this team (I am concerned about the offensive output if anything) and are getting shut out once in every 3-4 games. Then maybe the leash gets tighterr.

I have faith in Bednar if he gets his own coaching staff and has the ability to play guys that fit his style. I think if they can get out of Soderberg, Colborne, Comeau (2 out of the 3) plus Beauchemin. moving on from those guys will be YUGE

Yeah I am not one to believe in keep firing everyone. I am a Chicago Bears fan as well so I have not much to cheer for these days. I agree he should get another season, but if Sakic can make a few big trades at least one, and select the right guy at #4 , there is no excuse especially if Varlamov is almost 100% to have a 50 pt season.
