[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1087709, member: 17987"] I also meant to add, while I am not dead-set on firing LaFleur by any means, it's very, very hard for me to get on board with committing long term to both him AND Gute. I've gone back and forth with who deserves more "blame" but at the end of the day I'm simply not willing to say that Gute is a championship-caliber executive and LaFleur is a championship-caliber coach and we simply haven't been lucky enough or have had too many injuries or the stars and planets just didn't line up just right yet. At the end of the day that's not me saying Fire LaFleur or Fire Gute but it's saying that at some point you have to be willing to hold someone to account for a grand total of three playoff victories in the last 8 seasons (Gute 2018/Lafleur 2019). Honestly, there's a part of me that says I'm willing to fall on either side of that. I could see an argument that LaFleur has done the most with what's been made available to him and he's just been limited by the roster he's been provided. Maybe you point to certain bad contracts, a lack of "first round production" from your first round picks, a lack of depth to sustain the season, etc. And I could see an argument that Gute has provided the coach with a "championship caliber" roster but that LaFleur has simply mismanaged it. The car is fine but the driver isn't. There is a case to be made for both angles. But I just don't think that I can stomach taking an approach that effectively says, "if we keep going with the Gute+LaFleur combination, things are going to be radically different in their 8th year of working together than it was in the first 7 years together!"
