Claude Julien is the most likely coach to get first first this season, according to the folks over at Bovada:
Coach | Odds |
Claude Julien (BOS) | 3/2 |
Darryl Sutter (LA) | 2/1 |
Todd Richards (CLB) | 5/1 |
Mike Johnston (PIT) | 11/2 |
Lindy Ruff (DAL) | 6/1 |
Bill Peters (CAR) | 7/1 |
Bruce Boudreau (ANA) | 11/1 |
Any intelligent observer can tell that Julien is not the problem here and if anyone should get fired, Claude is behind Sweeney and Neely in line for deserving the ax.
