Erik Karlsson, formerly of the San Jose Sharks, voiced surprise at David Quinn's firing after just two seasons as head coach, as the team was in a rebuilding phase. While Karlsson didn't know the specifics of Quinn's situation, he noted the complexities of expectations when a team isn't anticipated to win. Quinn, now an assistant coach for the Pittsburgh Penguins, was praised by head coach Mike Sullivan for his experience and potential to enhance the team's performance, particularly in defense and power play coordination.
Quinn's firing after only two years surprised many, especially given the Sharks' rebuilding state; expectations weren't high, making his early exit questionable.
Sullivan emphasized Quinn's experience and coaching ability, stating he was a key addition to improve the Penguins' staff and team performance.
