Must. Fight. Urge. To. Go. On. Flightaware.

I meant to quote this in the OP, but according to the article Tallon was not on the list.

I'd have really liked for him to have at least be considered, but I'm a Hawks fan so there's a little sentimental love for him, kinda.

 

[HanSolo]

I'm neutral about him and I'd have wanted him to be in consideration.

and some speculation from Sinbin.vegas:

Probably the same info as above but The Score weighs in...

For those of you that don't venture off the Vegas board often, there's a thread over on the NHL Talk board that has a partner article and some response worth checking out.

I'm bringing it over despite the Pierre McGuire discussion in the article.

Hope it's not McPhee, excited to see who it is, the sooner they hire people the better.

I'm putting my money on Craig Conway, I've got zero to go on outside of the fact that I'd dig it and everyone seems to think it will be someone young.

I might as well pick someone instead of sitting on the fence.

[BattleBorn]

Is that that one dude that's really famous now?

 

[HanSolo]

Erm...no? Other than playing Charlie Conway in the Mighty Ducks movies I think he's best known for Dawson's Creek

 

[BattleBorn]

Fringe, man. Anyone in Fringe is famous as hell to me.

Fringe is great.

 

[HanSolo]

I didn't know he was in Fringe. Haha. Never even watched it tbh

Watch it ASAP if you've interested in that kind of thing.

Great series, one of my favorites. I love the alternate universe storyline.

He was also in Fringe.

Edit: It has already been said.

Maybe after I get around to The Wire.

Someone good with analytics would probably be useful at maximizing selection in terms of forward and avoiding any picks that turn out to be really bad while also hopefully being young enough to understand the importance of drafting and rebuilding.

 

[Telfo]

I am all in on this team....UNLESS they hire Don Waddell as GM. then I would have too many flashbacks to the Thrashers.

 

[BattleBorn]

Listening to Steve Carp talking on Sportbook radio right now. Apparently Tallon was actively interested and pursuing the position and never got the call from Foley.

 

[Mosby]

Maloney please

I hope so. I think he could well in this gig.

 

[PhillyWings]

George McPhee

Here in Montreal, we had rumors about Scott Mellanby to be hired GM for Las Vegas team since last year.
