Senators Replace Head Coach Following Months of Struggles

A few minutes ago, there's been a major development in Ottawa.
D.J. Smith has finally been fired, Jacques Martin will act as the interim head coach and Daniel Alfredsson will be assistant coach.
"News Release: D.J. Smith has been relieved of his head coaching duties; Jacques Martin has been named #Sens interim head coach. Daniel Alfredsson joins the team's coaching staff as an assistant coach"

The Senators aren't where they should be. There's a lot of talent on that team, but they're currently at the last position of the Atlantic Division. Smith definitly has a part of the blame to take, and let's hope Martin can turn things around for the organization.
Do you think the Senators made the right call by firing D.J. Smith?
