This is a tough decision, no question.
Looking back at the way we ended the previous season, you know,
Falling just short of the Stanley Cup and the two seasons that Chris had with the team.
It was, you know, it was the decision we made that we felt that he had earned that contract extension.
And then as this season went on, you know, at the end of the year, when I met with the group in the media and my availability, I mentioned that we were going to do a thorough review.
To try to understand how we got to this point, we had a disappointing end to our season, losing in the first round.
And when you take the season as a whole, it was a year we never were able to get going.
It wasn't just a slow start or maybe a tough stretch in the middle of the year.
Those things happen to all teams.
You have some ups and downs.
But we didn't have a lot of ups this year.
We were kind of right around the middle all year long.
So, you know, when we performed our analysis and our review about where we headed as a team, we just felt that we needed a different voice to lead us to where we want to get to.
The process we went forward with was what I talked about in my year-end availability, which was a full assessment and review.
And those things take time.
Like, it wasn't something we wanted to rush into.
I don't believe there's value in making rash decisions in emotional times.
There was disappointment when our season ended the way it did.
But I think you have to set that aside and take your time, which is what we did.
an evaluation of our whole operation, not just the coaching, but that was a big part of it.
