The Chicago fans I know are saying (hoping?) that the GM is going to fire Eberflus, and that he's remained mostly silent because why interrupt a good tanking. We'll see what happens in Chicago, but right now most of the smoke from the insiders is Eberflus is a goner.
Personally I think it would be a brilliant move for Chicago to fire Eberflus and outbid everyone for Ben Johnson. Makes their team a lot better while also directly weakening a division rival.
