McGuire doesn't have the even keel you need to have this sort of position. He fluctuates, he's impulsive, he's anything but level headed.
But his basic precepts are what this organisation needs. He was talking earlier on TSN 690 about how the organisation should sit down and make a commitment to better drafting and development.
Well, he's right. Development is key, right from the moment you draft a player, whether it's making sure he takes the proper route (NCAA vs CHL) to getting him the proper coaching at the AHL level. The Habs fail big time there.
But, he's not the guy to get it done, someone else is. Who that someone is, I don't know as hockey's a closed business. But, there has to be a commitment to make a big chance on a fundamental level and which has to include bringing in the right mix of ideas, personnalities and players to the fold.
Right now, the whole team is the same top to bottom. A bunch of vanilla, gutless, talentless yes men.
