When the Penguins fired Ray Shero in May 2014, their Plan-A and pretty much only Plan was to hire Pat Brisson as General Manager and bring in Guy Boucher from overseas to take over behind the bench.

Both of those plans were squashed early with Brisson smartly declining the opportunity and paycut, the Penguins quickly found out there was no out-clause for Boucher.

While there now is an out-clause for Boucher who was fired today by SC Bern.
