These two situations between the Florida Panthers and New York Islanders are very different. It’s tough to compare what went wrong with the Panthers and what is currently going wrong for the Islanders.
The one thing I want to take from this is the leash of Gallant compared to Jack Capuano. Gerard Gallant led the Florida Panthers to their best record in franchise history in 2015-2016. They had high expectations for this year.
The Panthers who are sitting around .500 decided it was time to make a switch. Now compare that to Capuano.
