    Not surprised here. Big moves + bad results.

    Was he really doing that bad of a job? I’m a little bit surprised by this

    It’s not really surprising given the results, but it’s pretty surprising they would let him do the Taylor Hall trade and fire him less than a month later. NJs trajectory hasn’t really changed in that period.

    And by pretty surprising I mean it’s par for the course for the NHL but it ~shouldn’t~ be.

    In his tenure there, he made the playoffs 1 time and that was on the back of Hall playing out of his mind for two months and dragging that team kicking and screaming into the final wild card spot. Their goaltending is a mess and honestly don’t know what to make of their forward group. But all signs are pointing to this still being a big / long rebuild for the team, and that’s what he was brought in 5? Years ago to fix. If you look at the team then and now, aside from the 1st round picks they had, what has he really done to change the team?

    He's got one more playoff round victory than the Habs (which is a grand total of one by the way) since he was hired as the GM of the Devils, and somehow Marc Bergevin, whos been the GM of the Habs longer, still has his job LOL!

    Personally, I dont think he's done that bad of a job as GM there. The biggest issue he's had is he failed to improve his goaltending, which in the end really has been this teams biggest weakness for a few seasons now.

    Bad goaltending typically results in coaches and GMs being fired.

    However, it's not like Schneider was a bad goalie, he was solid and always a darkhorse Vezina candidate until those injuries happened and he lost his mojo.

    Shero maked trades that on paper we all thought, "man that's a sick deal" but it seems to never work out.

    I think Shero to a large degree was a victim of circumstance. He didn't do a bad job on paper, but nothing seemed to work out. Who really knew Subban was going to fail like he did, who knew Schneider's injuries would turn out to be what appears to be career ending, it's likely the Hall camp gave him little choice but to find a trade and who knew it would take Gusev a half season to finally figure it out, which I believe he has, but with everything else, to little too late. That said, the results clearly have not been good, so the pink slip is far from a shocker.

    And that's exactly the problem. I give him credit for being bold and making deals that looked good on paper. But ultimately it's results that matter, and he didn't get any.

    Backwards decision making here. Don't like it at all. Trade star. Fire coach. Fire GM. Should be the other way around.
