Good run for Maloney, given the ownership carousel. Tippett stays on.

The fuck? He gets canned in a year the team was essentially tanking it and they defy expectations? Is it because the "overachieving" cost them a good shot at Auston Matthews?

So according to Ken Campbell, the story goes like this:

1. 1st new owner is okay with Maloney's building plan.
2. New owner fell short of money, had to sell some shares to another guy.
3. New guy is an impatient loudmouth, even though he's a minority owner.
4. Tippett allies himself with the new guy because he too is running short on patience.
5. Tippett and new guy win the power struggle.

Hopefully Tippet falls on the sword he ran through Maloney.

I suppose all those years of mediocrity in Dallas working for a horrid GM and the slow build in Arizona finally got to Tippett. Either that or he just knew that the shelf life of coaches is extremely finite and he wants his chance NOW.

I'd be very interested to see if Sean Burke resurfaces. Apparently he left the organization to pursue a front office gig.

26-year-old so-called analytics guru John Chayka is in.

Tippett get P. Roy controls.

Discovered by Mike Gillis via cold pitch, where he got his first chance before analytics were trendy.

He could be half the league GMs' grandson. :lol: We know he's good at analytics, but I wonder how agents are going to treat him during FA negotiations. Probably try to strong arm him due to his age. Should be fun to watch.

Chayka getting creative with the cap: Yotes take Bolland's contract (5.5M for the next three years) and prospect Lawson Crouse in exchange for second and third round picks.

Will Bolland play? Who knows. Probably doesn't matter.

Wow...now THAT is one expensive salary dump. I know Crouse isn't projected to be an elite talent but he's still pretty highly touted.
