So far, seven NHL coaches have been fired and we are only halfway through the season. Gerard Gallant of the Golden Knights join Peter Laviolette, Peter DeBoer. John Hynes, Jim Montgomery, Mike Babcock and Bill Peters.
Since the end of last season, 14 teams have new coaches, almost half the teams in the NHL. Believe it or not, New York Rangers coach David Quinn is now 13th longest in terms of tenure out of the 31 coaches currently employed.
The crazy thing, is of that DeBoer and Hynes have already found new jobs and considering their track records, Gallant, Babcock and Laviolette won’t be unemployed for long.
