Before the team looks for a new coach (not saying they will) they need to look for a GM.  Until that happens, I'm afraid none of it really matters in terms of building a true contender.

We'd all be better off listing off GM candidates than HC candidates.  Bring in the right GM, and he'll hopefully build out the right staff.

Good point, it'll be like replacing the gutters when the roof is leaking. But Duke out-lasted ML, if he didn't go with Marv, he's a lifer. It's really a non-discussion unless he wants to go IMO he's been here since the turn of the millennium. Sucks because he did well for a number of years, but the 2015 draft and the 2017 and 2018 first round busts should have cost him his job.
