Phoenix is one of the few places where I don't think the coach needs to be fired. Someone at work put it today that they are trying to do this year, what Toronto tried last year. Pile on the veterans that used to be good (I would have traded my oldest son and my left nut for Nolan a few years ago) and hope they still "got it" even though they obviously don't. Gretz needs to fire himself as GM (I know he isn't GM, but something tells me he may have a say as to the players brought in)

Gretzky was a great player but he is not coaching material. He should have started with a junior team before starting in the NHL. Maybe his ego got to him. Being the owner of the team, he should leave these responsibilities to someone with more experience. Even Carbo was an assistant coach.
If Gretzky wanted to try something new, he should get it out of his system before the season is lost and fans gone which means $$$ is gone.
