Yes, but probably the right move long term
They have underperformed to expectations, but their underlying numbers are still good. They are in danger of missing the playoffs though, mostly cause the division is better, missing would be a bit of a disaster, so this is the management team wanting a shakeup Imo
De Boer is a top coach, doubt this move is made today if hes not available
Gallant is red wings next coach imo, stevie knows him well
