Did not see it. My badI just posted this in the "where are the Hawks headed?" Thread.
It is lost.This season is still pretty much a lost cause methinks.
Jim Benning wishes he had my physique.Is that you Jim Benning
I want him to be my assistant, not the other way around. Guy probably doesn't even know how to make a good game day thread and somehow he's supposed to be my boss?!?To Davidson, maybe he'll hire you as AGM

...why would you have wanted the new head hockey mind have to be invested and questioned on the ongoing kyle beach scandal immediately to start a new direction?so slow, they should have started the process the day Stan resigned.
no wonder the organization is where it is...
As others mentioned, I’m not upset that they’re being deliberate.so slow, they should have started the process the day Stan resigned.

So many people talking about slowly they have done this. You realize that they hired Mike Forde's Sportsology company to come and and do a full organizational review right? This, to me, is exactly what they should be doing. He was on the 32 Thoughts podcast a while back, really interesting stuff.
It would probably be pretty irrational to assume that the scouting department wasn’t included in the full organizational review.Does this include analysis on their pro scouting? Because that dept needs a total overhaul
As others mentioned, I’m not upset that they’re being deliberate.
This franchise is in such a bad spot from a hockey ops perspective that they need to absolutely knock this next hire out of the park. If that means waiting a few months to review things, and it helps ensure the next hire is the absolute right person, I’m fine with it.
This isn’t really about the short term, this hire has to potential to dictate where this franchise heads over multiple years if not longer.
Getting it right is way more important than getting it done quickly, imo.
I am a bit surprised that they’re talking about getting a new GM in before mentioning hiring a new president of hockey ops though, unless they plan on combining the roles.
Interesting, well that would explain it.I just read somewhere earlier today that the will be no President of Hockey Ops.
GM directly reports the the Wirtz folks.
