A really tough spot for the Blues to be in but they kind of did it to themselves. Having essentially two head coaches behind the bench was not a good idea from the get go and it has shown. Now, the Blues issues can’t be squarely on the coaching staff as Jake Allen and Carter Hutton have to be given their fair share of the blame with their subpar performances this year.

It’s a weird and noncommittal way to run a team… hiring an heir-apparent. Either retire or be 100% in.
Yeo isn’t a bad coach. Stronger on defense but he’s always had trouble getting the most out of his forwards. Lots of raw talent on Wild teams the last few years but he never got them to gel for more than a few weeks at a time. I’m curious to see how he does.

It’ll be interesting to say the least. Especially if the Blues continue playing inconsistent hockey. Or if they completely fall off, what happens then? Do they continue with Yeo or bring someone else in?

Did they think when they hired him that Yeo was in line with the same vision of their team they had with Hitchcock, and has that changed at all? Did they fire him because they knew they were going to go with Yeo anyway at the end of the year or do they want another direction and just feel obligated to give Yeo a shot because of what they all but promised him? Weird situation.

The GM D Armstrong should be gone instead of Hitch with the way he’s handled player contracts and with what the Blues lost in personnel from last year.

There is a salary cap, so how would you have proposed that they keep everyone? Or, if you thought they should of traded them before the deadline, I assume that would mean giving up on the season halfway through it.

The Isles should snap him to head up Hockey Operations. He’d right the ship straight away.

God I hope they have already reached out to him. Hell maybe he was let go to take the position. Now that would be sick…
