I was on the train of “Fire Cooper” after being swept but I quickly got off because you don’t fire a coach that wins 62 games. It’s tough to justify that because then who do you hire?
Erne is replaceable but he will be back because of 2 reasons: 1) first full season in NHL last year, can’t replace after that small of a sample size. 2) bigger forward that Tampa doesn’t have, he just needs to understand that he’s 210 lbs and play like a net-front player. He plays like a perimeter player
Paquette may leave but he has a role on a perennial contender, tough to leave when you have a solidified role.
As for bridge deals...... only young players who have elite potential get higher bridge deals in the Lightning system. Gourde didn’t get one, and neither did Miller. Johnson and Palat were figured to have elite potential after Palat was a Calder nominee and Johnson scored 72 points one season so they got small bridges and they haven’t panned out. Kucherov got one for obvious reasons and Point should as well but they have been consistent for the past few seasons.
