We can also note that he's looking good on his biggest point of contention with the fans and media -- keeping the currently red-hot Marcus Johansson in an elevated role.

Wtf??

The carnage would be historic. I can't stand the guy, but if he got my team winning in the playoffs I could push the bile back down.

I got myself to a point where I was sick of being sick of NoJo.  I felt neutral re NoJo.  I can feel the hate rising again…maybe I’ve gone full circle and it’s starting over again.  
We have confirmation that a one year contract is the only contract for NoJo. He’s useful only when playing for his next contract

If the Wild keep struggling, what will the response be from the owner? How secure is Guerins job? I imagine Hynes only has job security until the owner directs the front office to make changes. The owner loves his playoff ticket revenue, so I would expect a change if they fail to make the playoffs.

No to Jim Montgomery because that would be Deja vu, but a coach like Peter DeBoer might work well.. plus he has hair.

The best time to fire Hynes was the day after they hired him. The 2nd best time is right now. He is the very definition of mediocre. 

Unfortunately it won't happen. BG makes moves to protect his job and nothing more.  He will keep Hynes around through this year and fire him in the office season in order to buy a couple more years with a new coach. 

Really we should be firing the coach and GM. They should have both been fired at the end of this past season with the pathetic roster management during the playoffs.

I would talk to Rick Bowness and see if he would come out of retirement.
