This piece may be jumping the gun, but is written under the presumption that the New Jersey Devils will part ways with head coach John Hynes between now and next offseason.

Calls for Hynes’ dismissal spiked among Devils fans yesterday after news that the Toronto Maple Leafs relieved Head Coach Mike Babcock of his duties, stunning the hockey world.
