What Land mines? In what situations are you afraid of with this scenario. I still don't what y'all exactly fear or think needs to be done to help Tulsky, especially, or an outside the sport Gm... but it's really odd to also see it applied to Tulsky.It is a fair gripe.
Hiring someone without a significant hockey/NHL background is a potential disaster. As someone mentioned earlier ITT, why would you hire a doctor to be your lawyer?
Even a guy like Tulsky IMO needs someone who can help him navigate and avoid the land mines.
This guy was AGM for 2 years, been in the league for 8 years. Will have at LEAST 2 AGMs in charge for a couple years on the staff when he's hired, 3 if Davidson is moved back to AGM. A full club of experienced scouts and staff he can evaluate and decide on, but nobody, not any ideal hire that could exist or option to hire, is going to clean house in a massive way that they need all the connections in the league to replace people with.
What bad situations do you guys think arise from not having connections? Do you think that means he makes less trades, gets worse trade offers? Gets less connections to European players, UFAs? Will not know enough coaching options to hire? Or what is it actually.
If Seattle had hired someone outside I get the concerns, but I think there's this idea it's a solo man job when all talk is how much it's working in a collective. A collective is already there that they can evaluate and adjust. The element of why you're hiring these types is because that's their very experience, evaluating and coordinating to success. There's all this talk like they need help when that's already filled in in the organization.
