As for the second part of the question: Blashill is on the hot seat. He is entering the last year of his contract and will be in charge of an improved roster.
The way the question itself is asked is eye-rollingly insulting to “the regular fan” that I no longer believe it’s ever asked in good faith by one. I get people not wanting Blashill to be coach, but not understanding the reasons seems disingenuous by this point.
