Ron Francis said he informed Dave Hakstol this morning of his decision to move on.

Can tell this was a difficult call for him to make.

“I don’t think the players quit on Dave.”

#SeaKraken Ron Francis said he didn’t come to this final decision to move on from Dave Hakstol until yesterday.

Here he is speaking on the personal side of making this call…

Wishing Hak nothing but the best.

Dealing with the media never seemed to be his favorite thing to do, but he handled it with grace every single day.

Every now and then, his tough exterior would crack just a little, and you’d see what a good human he is. #SeaKraken
