[Gurglesons]

Sullivan is here forever.

 

[dogthateats]

2025: GM Mark Recchi
2032: John Tortorella.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Sullivan will not be fired after the year.

Hextall will probably be fired and FSG will probably just go with the most popular name for his replacement.

 

[Jacob]

Sullivan will be the next GM and Reirden will be the next coach.

Sullivan will be the next GM and Reirden will be the next coach.

FSG making Sullivan the new GM along with being a coach isn't even out of the realm of possibility to me.

 

[Lustaf]

I heard Chuck Fletcher is available now.

 

[SomeDude]

David Ortiz and some guy I’ve never heard of that played for FSG’s soccer team.

 

[Pens x]

I fully expect both idiots to be back next season. FSG is lazier than Hextall.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

FSG making Sullivan the new GM along with being a coach isn't even out of the realm of possibility to me.

At this point, if Sullivan's kept on as coach you might as well also let him be GM so he can just acquire the type of players that he will use.

Each department has their own issues, but one of the collective issues with this team seems to be the GM (both Hextall and JR before him) aren't on the same page as the coach with regards to adding to the roster and those additions being used properly.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Sullivan won't be fired this offseason.

Hextall is more likely, but I've yet to see any indication that FSG is eager to actually put its fingerprints on the Pens instead of just letting the franchise run itself.

If Hextall is fired, FSG will prioritize forward thinkers who will build up a staff that relies on analytics. They did it in Boston and they did it in Liverpool with Jurgen Klopp.

Think Mathieu Darche in Tampa, Eric Tulsky in Carolina, Chris MacFarland in Colorado (likely unavailable now, but they guy they should've hired when they hired Hextall).

I could see them hiring someone like Megan Chayka to a prominent role, maybe a reshaped President of Hockey Ops to design the front office a certain way but with someone like Darche or Tulsky managing the roster.

There are no current coaches who are also the team's GM.

It really hasn't happened in the last decade. The positions are too demanding on their own.

Back in the day, I think pensburgh or something said @pixiesfanyo should be the GM.


But they don't post here anymore.

What is you’re resume? I’m a keyboard expert on a messageboard.

What a dumb thread. We’re in a playoff race.

 

[Andy99]

Next GM: There’s this young up and comer I hear may be leaving Vancouver, name’s Jimmy Rutherford…GMs never go out of style, they just get recycled…

Next coach: Dan Bylsma

Won't be fired, so this thread is Useless, Like You

Who should be the next GM of the Penguins?

[Jaded-Fan]

Honestly, as for the coach, who cares?

This team will be complete trash in a couple of years.

As for the GM, Hextall is the guy that I would want for the complete tear down and rebuild that this team is going to need during a rebuild.

He doesn't throw picks away and looks long term rather than short cuts.

His tendency to not go all in is annoying when the window remains open. But is what you want in a rebuild.

Just embrace the suckage to come.

All kidding aside, Cole would make a great coach.

I always learn something reading his game analysis.

I don’t think hockey players would respect his fashion sense.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Cole is more NFL Fashion I admit.

 

[The GM]

It’s possible they bring in jay caulfield in a dual role of GM/Coach. He always seems to knows all the issues during the Jays Telestrator segment

 

[Tender Rip]

Well, most importantly Sully should get a new gig, stat, and then we can trade Rust and Carter there with their blessings. Florida, I say. Get Pixies’ boy back. Too feisty for Sully anyway.
