The day after the draft, what sense does this make at all.
Pretty predictable as I don't think McDermott was impressed with Whaley from the start nor did he ever want to hitch his wagon to Whaley. I think ownership asked him to give it a shot and after a couple months it was pretty clear that McDermott was going to want him out after the draft. All the scouts knew they were getting canned .
Pegulas are all in on McDermott we shall see but there isn't a first year HC with more power than Sean that is clears. Cautiously optimistic
I really don't understand why a team would fire their gm after the draft, if you are the uncertain about someone, why let them pick players?
