Leafs Ron Wilson fired: Randy Carlyle named new Head Coach

Leafs former head coach, Ron Wilson.

Early Friday evening, Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Ron Wilson was fired. Just moments later, TSN reported that Randy Carlyle would be replacing Wilson as head coach.

Since Wilson was hired in summer 2008, he had not led the Leafs to the playoffs. His record this year was 29-28-7. Toronto hopes that their new coach will help them make the playoffs for the first time in over 6 years.

Randy Carlyle was an obvious candidate, seeing as how he played with Brian Burke in the late 2000's, and played with the Leafs for a number of years. Carlyle was fired by the Ducks earlier this year after having a not-so-impressive start to the season, 7-13-4. Although the Ducks didn't do well this year under Carlyle, he did lead them to five playoff runs in six years, and posted an impressive record of 273-182-61. Burke may be hoping that Carlyle's playoff and Stanley Cup experience will rub off on the team.

Despite a strong start to the season, the Leafs are struggling to make their way to 8th in the East, after being passed by Winnipeg and Washington. They won their last game over two weeks ago against the struggling Oilers. In their last 10 games, they have only been able to achieve 1 win, allowing 42 goals against and scoring only 23. After a horrific 1-8-1 streak during a crucial part of the season, the Leafs decided it was time for Wilson to go.

Jeff Carter Traded to Kings for Jack Johnson

Columbus Blue Jackets Centre Jeff Carter

Just earlier tonight, a major trade was made between the Los Angeles King and the Columbus Blue Jackets. Columbus' centre Jeff Carter made his way to LA in return for defenceman Jack Johnson and a first round pick in 2012 or 2013.

The Kings are hoping that their latest edition to the team will not only supply some offence, but also help them secure a playoff position. The Kings have only scored 129 goals this season, but are still hanging on to that eighth playoff position in the West. Carter has scored 14 goals and 25 points in 39 games so far this season, missing 20 due to a separated shoulder and broken foot.

On the other side of the deal, the Blue Jackets find themselves with veteran defenceman Jack Johnson, who moves to Columbus after being with the Kings for six years; ever since the 2006-07 season. Johnson has 8 goals and 24 points in 61 games so far this year with the Kings.

The Blue jackets also received a first round pick in either 2012 or 2013. It appears as though they are looking to rebuild for the future, seeing as how they won't be competing in the playoffs this year. They also wanted a first round pick in exchange for Rick Nash, as well as a goalie and first line defenceman.

So after this big deal, do you still think that Rick Nash will be gone before the trade deadline?
