He runs hot.

He controls everything in that organization.

And so he's able to keep all that on the rails.

And I think that was perhaps a bigger challenge than most people realize.

How do you diagnose this?

I mean, think about how this abs team played this year.

I think they had one regulation loss in 2025.

They scored the most goals in the league and gave up the fewest best regular season team in franchise history, swept the first round.

So then do you delete all of that because of a quote waste of eight days as Daryl Sutter would say,

with an unhealthy kale McCarr and a banged up Nathan McKinnon.

I don't, I'm not making excuses.

I think from a coaching perspective, Jared Bednar got the brakes beaten off of him this series, the way that they didn't have an answer.

Yes.

And the way that they struggled to get out of their own end and look completely disconnected and seem to have no answer for, for solving any of it, not just game to game, but also in period, it was just pretty alarming, but yeah,

Do you take all that and throw it all away and say, yeah, we've got to make a change?

Or is that just easier to do than the surgery that they've already done to their roster?

Well, that's the other part of the equation that like, that's what makes it harder to answer.

Cause I don't have line of sight on who's even going to be steering the ship.

Obviously Joe Sackick's not going anywhere, but, um, if Chris McFarland really is leaving and look, I don't have any evidence that Nashville has gotten permission or that they've had conversations or that this is a done deal.

But there has to be a reason why all these other teams, New Jersey, Vancouver, Toronto, have all fired and hired general managers and we're sitting here with the draft combine starting on Sunday and the natural predators having done nothing.
