Weird is what it is. Why would they make this move now, and not either
a) when the firing rumours were swirling around Granato at the trade deadline, or
b) right after the club got bounced out of the playoffs?
And why the hell is Granato staying on as an assistant? This makes no sense.
Oh, and Craig Conroy signed with the Kings. 4 years, $12 mil and a no-trade clause.
