Good thing Anaheim didn't start their backup for this one....
If the goal is to tank, then Eakins is a perfect coaching candidate....esp in a strong upcoming draft class.....

Yeah, I was thinking about that list of terrible coaches yesterday. Most of the longer tenured ones (like Bowness, for example) have had SOME good seasons that might make a team believe there's something there, or they only had one stint. Many of the shorter tenured ones got just over 200 games (so 2.5-3 seasons) with an expansion team or otherwise dreadful team, and never worked again.
Eakins is unique in that he's never had an expansion team, always had some star players, and yet has never had a single winning season, even though he's coaching in the Bettman era, when every year, 70% of the teams are above .500. He's incredibly bad.
He's still got some big boosters in the Toronto media from his time with the Marlies - he definitely cultivated some relationships that he's really relied on - but it's been pretty amazing he's got four seasons in Anaheim. Haven't heard any noise about firing him either...the Ducks probably don't want to hurt their chances for Bedard!
