Bad GM. Bad coach. End of story.

Not sure I can say Gallant is a bad coach. He did a good job in Florida and had that young Panthers team surging before they fired him for an analytics 'yes man.' I think he's done a good job with these guys in Vegas.
But, I totally feel the "he didn't work hard in practice and needs to learn the North American game" comments from the front office was a cover.
C'mon. Dude is a 30-year-old KHL standout, not some 18-year-old jabroni. Guarantee he would have "figured it out" if there was anything to figure out (even though I doubt there was), if they actually let him play.
I don't get going after him hard in the offseason, pumping him as a cornerstone of the franchise, only to not use him.
