kesler is another one I missed. 

Maybe I'm nitpicking but you could throw in the following 

 

The whole Chicago Wolves affiliate bit 

Our management of 2nd round picks 

Our inability to properly draft and develop prospects

Bieska (could go either way, was willing to go down with the ship)

The McCann/Gudbranson trade

Sam Gagner 

Paying a 2nd to dump Dickinson after one season

OEL trade

yeah, that stuff wouldn't make the cut for me. i'm not talking about run of the mill hockey ops stuff, I'm talking scandals and bunglings.

trying to force him out? 

LE drama 2.0 ?  Let's see if Tocchet has learned, something from his past dealings with LE 2.0 ?

 

That contract gives him a lot of leverage but Tocchet is tough cookie.  Personally, I would force him to drive to Abby for a whole year and give his ice time to someone else.  Either way, he is getting paid but having him in Abby, might be the message the team needs to rebuild the locker room ?

Sure change the coach now and maybe we can win a few more games, still miss the playoffs, but  finish 12th from the bottom and have absolutely no chance at Bedard.  Good grief. 

Paraphrasing Duco from the good the bad and the ugly, "when you gotta tank, tank - don't win".

Ya, certainly a connection with Rutherford from Pittsburgh but Tocchet has a crappy head coaching resume. 

 

I don't get why he seems to be the guy for Jimmy and Patrick.

You answered your own question.

 

Only former Penguins coach that is available. With JR you don't have to think hard. Nepotism wins the day with him.

I think they are bringing in Tocchet to piss off OEL so he demands a trade.  Once OEL is traded we will bring in Barry Trotz.  This is 5D chess from JR really...

Lol, you thinking too much. JR is a glass onion.

Gillis' mishandling of Schneider and Luongo

Poor drafting by Gillis' regime resulting in a bankrupt depth for futures
