Since the arrival of Dale Tallon in 2010 the Florida Panthers have been preaching about much-needed stability, staying the course, working the “blueprint”, and building a successful foundation. Not sure what the definition of stability is, but the Panthers have had 4 coaching changes, which likely will include a 5th after this season. There have also been two ownership changes and a summer that included a revolving door of not only personnel on the ice, but also in the front office.
When Gerrard Gallant was named head coach for the 2014-2015 season he wasn’t at the top of this writers list, although he was at least on it.
