DC Hot Board will be posted once we confirm Hutzler firing - LOTS of names being thrown around. Some of them sounds like flushing out rats so I'm not sharing until we get confirmation Hutzler is gone.

Creating a table for us to track this. Please post if you're positive about retention / replacement.
I also give mods permission to edit this post if I get lackadaisical.

Let me know if I should add anything else to be tracked.
