The Athletic Ranks Martin St-Louis Among Top 3 NHL Coaches Likely to Be Fired
While the Montreal Canadiens have had a rather disappointing start to the season, numerous rumors have surfaced regarding the future of Martin St-Louis.
Personally, I never thought St-Louis would be fired by the Canadiens, except maybe if things had worked out with Jim Montgomery.. and even then!
In short, it's difficult to get a realistic picture because we're directly in Montreal and too emotionally involved, but in recent hours, the outlet The Athletic published a rather surprising article.
Even though things have been improving for the Habs lately, many sources still believe Martin St-Louis' job is in danger.
The experts from the reputable site have just published a ranking of the NHL head coaches most likely to be fired, and indeed, bad news awaited Martin St-Louis.

This comes from The Athletic, and they are generally very well-informed, but I still have a hard time believing Martin St-Louis will lose his job.
It's true that Luke Richardson, the head coach of another rebuilding team (Chicago), lost his job, but the situation here with St-Louis, Kent Hughes, and Jeff Gorton is quite different.
And in your opinion, does Martin St-Louis deserve to be in the top 3 of NHL head coaches most likely to be fired soon?
More generally, who do you think will be the next NHL head coach to lose their job.
