The Anaheim Ducks have underachieved mightily this season, and a change was bound to come in short order. Leading into Wednesday night's game the reporting had been that the coaching staff was safe while rumors were
running throughout the league of Bobby Ryan potentially being traded. All of that is up in the air now as the club
decided to fire head coach Randy Carlyle following the team’s 4-1 win over
Montreal and replace him with Bruce Boudreau. Boudreau continues his roller-coaster week as he was fire by the Washington Captials on Monday.
The coaching change likely puts any potential deal involving Bobby Ryan on hold as Boudreau will get his own chance to assess the team before personnel moves are made.
