Mac T probably ain't too comfortable himself. Another bottom 5 finish and many will want him gone.

He hasn't been here long enough to be in the hot seat I don't think. Eakins and Lowe should be worried imo.

He hasn't been in charge long enough to rule him out yet imo.

Eakins is gone.

I doubt he's getting fired unless the team just completely falls apart. Just saying that if they finish in the bottom 5 his seat will be pretty hot heading into next year.

He has to do something to help the team.

Who replaces Niemi in San Jose? Not Scrivens it is clear to me at least that he is a backup caliber guy.

Oil must have a trade lined up with a team who have two good goalies. Sort of like the situation in Vancouver when they had Schneider and Luongo.

I know habs have Tokarski but I'm not sure he has proven enough to be worth trading for.

IMO, the oilers have elite offense, but they have one of the worst d-corps. That has to be the area to improve.

They badly need a top pair defender. And a solid 2C. And a number 1 goalie. And some on ice leadership. And an NHL coach.

The situation is that dire?

Yikes. I think a new coach can inspire some better hockey

Yes. It is that dire. Eakins is poop but Mac T shorted him 2 NHL Centers, a top pair of Defensemen and a starting goalie.

I would say they are in the same ballpark.

Dude we have the exact same record as them.

Right now they are, if they stay tied with them in last place after game 82 I'd say Mac T is far from safe.

Mac T shouldn't feel safe tied with Buffalo after 30 games.
