It's been more than a month since the Nashville Predators' season ended, and the team STILL hasn't announced a decision regarding John Hynes's future as head coach. According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, that decision could be coming soon, but why has it taken this long to get there?

On today's show, Predators' beat writer Alex Daugherty joins the show to discuss Hynes's future in Nashville and how much we should read into the Predators' lengthy "evaluation" of the coaching staff. If Hynes DOES return, what changes will he need to make to keep himself off the hot seat? And the Preds DO make a coaching change, will it be Karl Taylor taking the helm or another coaching candidate?
