If you believe in your player then you need to tell your coach that. Les Jackson was all hands off on Eriksson for the better part of a season before he finally said, enough is enough, and forced Tippett's hand.
GMJN is the final decision maker and he doesn't get to hide behind, "I have to support my coach." It's not like he's deferring to Hitchcock, Quinville, Tortorella, or any other Stanley Cup winning coach with a legit history. Gultuzan hasn't earned that much respect.
