I seriously think the coaching change is to get OEL to waive NMC.
They're doing so badly, there's 0 reason to change the coach at this time. It's a lost cause. Sitting14 points behind the last wild card spot held by Colorado. JR already admitted the roster's not good enough because they couldn't offload contracts and fix the D. A new coach won't change that today.
Previous rumors that they didn't want to be paying 3 coaches at the same time also meant they should've let Bruce finish the year. So my bet is they've calculated that paying the 3rd coach now (specifically Tocchet) will hopefully help offload OEL earlier and thus save money (and cap).
