Bylsma, who was fired by the Penguins earlier this month, still has two years left on his contract with Pittsburgh at a reported $2.3 million per season. Gallant is believed to have been given a three-year deal.
GOOD move by the Panthers. Gallant was excellent as the Habs #1 asst last season and should be good with their young players. IF "Bobby Lou" has a "bounce back" season in goal and their kids like Huberdeau, Barkov and Kulikov continue to improve the Cats could suprise next season
Guess the Panthers didn't want to pay Pen money.
IF I was Danny B AND I was getting $4 Million from Pittsburgh to "sit on my assets" the next two years, I would just take an analyst yacker job and say "Fukk You, Pay Me, Mario" esp after HE gets blamed for Crosby, Malkin & Company's non-performance in the playoffs. WHAT? he suddenly forgot how to coach between the regular season and the Rangers series?
