Craig Berube is gone.
No replacement has been named yet, which makes sense because there are a lot of coaches who might become available this summer who are still employed by other teams. There's no word on the fate of assistant coaches Gord Murphy, Joe Mullen or Ian Laperriere.
It's unclear what's changed since Wednesday, when general manager Ron Hextall sat down in front of the media and said that he was not yet ready to make a decision on his head coach's future. We're assuming that the two sat down and talked about what the future of the organization looks like, and Hextall came to the determination that Berube is not the guy to lead this team forward.
