Predict the Sens Next Coach

With the season over, and his contract up, he wasn't really obligated to the club anymore. Call it a firing, a relieving of one's duties, whatever you want to I guess, but his contract was up and they decided not to renew it.

Players don't get "fired" when they walk as UFAs. If the Sens announced to day they were "firing" Ryan Shannon, would that make sense?

Apparently his contract runs until June 30. If they relieved him today, he was fired.

When was his contract up though? July 1st? If you are let go before your contract... you are fired.

Does that mean they want to fire a coach before Clouston's contract was to expire?

Hire you mean? I would think they'd like to have a new staff in place by the draft.

Season's not even over. The balls haven't been dropped. Plenty of time left *before* the draft, and since Murray said he's going to see who is available, he's not thinking of having someone in place right away.

He could still pick Clouston

Big_Ev @DarrenDreger You're article doesn't make sense. Murray doesn't have to fire Clouston at all, his contract is done.

DarrenDreger @Big_Ev. What was that?

Them fighting words lol.
