Are you saying that Ses saying that he's "already dumb" is the smartest thing he's ever said???
Or were you referring to the Isles should consider trading Nelson and Palms? If the latter, that would definitely make sense if they're going into rebuild mode. That hasn't been Lou's method in the past, however.

Way too soon to judge Patrick after not even a full season. We tried the coaching change route anyway. Time for the GM to get the heat. Lou may get more time since Patrick was just hired though.

Maybe I missed but was it ever publicized what Roy's contract conditions were? Was it just through the season or multiple years? Who knows if Roy would want to stay if Lou goes or if a new GM would keep him on. A ton of unanswered questions and I feel like very few of them will be answered to our satisfaction.

The games were closer than I think they appeared. The Canes didn't play well. The isles played their rope-a-dope strategy and it kinda worked. Some extreme bad luck and bad bounces in a couple games and this series is at worst tied 2-2.

For me it comes down to a goofy constructed line up of old slow parts and some flashy bandaid parts and horrendous coaching. 3/11 on the power play. Last night when we need something good on the pp he's switching out centermen as they're coming up the ice...like....he's out of his depth. And a dumb goalie switch too.

Go back to junior.
Rod Brindamour is a good NHL coach.
Patrick Roy is not.

This thought right here, which is false, is exactly why this team will be mired in at best mediocrity for perpetuity.

I think this guy just picked three names out of a hat.

To be fair it's a low bar
