Seems like a 1/6 of the league has fired their coach this season. Yeah this one was quite surprising as Vegas can easily still make the playoffs. Usually coaches are fired at the mid point of the season at the latest if the team feels they are good enough for a playoff run, but just aren't cutting it up till now. Vegas is currently on a 4 game skid, but yeah this was a pretty quick firing considering how the last two seasons went.
Gallant should be highly coveted by someone in the next season.
