Kraken GM Ron Francis acknowledged Bylsma’s energy and contributions over his tenure but indicated that a new direction was necessary. Bylsma had previously achieved success with the Coachella Valley Firebirds in the AHL, leading them to consecutive Calder Cup Finals appearances. Bylsma's departure marks the third head coaching change this offseason in the NHL.
