[John Hynes of Pens AHL team expected to be Next coach.]

I say give Stevens the reigns for a season. If not, now that Bylsma has gone to Buffalo, I honestly can't say who the best option is.

[So are we going to ask for compensation for DeBoer?]

Or is this like Ray Shero where we just want the contract off the books? Also this new way of compensation of coaches is incredibly stupid. It was clearly a way to kowtow to Detroit who knew they were going to lose their coach. The league has bent over backwards lately for Detroit.

 

They declined compensation.
