I think next season is basically a chance to buy the team time to make Guenther the next HC. I'm not sure such a move would go over well at the moment. An internal promotion after the season they just had would have attendance skip the toilet and go straight to the sewer. It would be the most "low energy" move since Jeb Bush's primary run. Culture change would be near zero. If the promotion was followed by a season worse than or equal to 2016, they'd be well on the way to having a lost fan base.
All that said, it seems that people who know and cover this team believe that they still hold Guenther in a very high regard. Add that to a front office that hates unknowns, and you have what I believe is a strong candidate to be the heir apparent to Marvin.
