Just when you thought the summer couldn't get more exciting, BOOM!, we add to the front office. Maybe we're buying an NBA team.

Oh boy. Buckle up because this guy is bad news. He was fired by Burke because Burke had no clue what he does. Ugh.

He's not going to be running amateur or pro scouting, so who cares? He'll be another guy in a suit sitting in the skybox with Benning and Gilman.

This is bad....very very bad

down with the ship as they say

I wasn't sure anyone could find a complaint in this hiring, but then the universe steps in and delivers.

I'd like to hear Burke explain what his own job is.

Vice President, Player Personnel

Trolling the Sloane Conference.

Aaaaaaaand, GO!

 

[KDizzle]

Everybody was freaking out about him becoming Assistant GM here.
So time for more freaking out?

Yeah, how could anyone complain about a guy who was part of a management team that tried to give away the #6 overall pick for the right to put O'Reilly on waivers or passed over guys like Hertl, Teravainen, Girgensons, Maatta, etc. to draft Mark Jankowski?

Why don't you name 5 head pro scouts off the top of your head

Really small sample size. Also, he's not being hired to be director of amateur or pro scouting.

That O'Reilly screwup should pretty much be grounds for never working in hockey ops again.

Can you please explain what input he had into this. Just an question, honestly.

Fire Gilman.

Nah man, relax

Don't be critical... just enjoy the ride everything will be ok

It's rumoured that he was the one that made the call on the Jankowski pick.

Is that not on Feaster?

 

[CherryToke]

Oh boy. Buckle up because this guy is bad news. He was fired by Burke because Burke had no clue what he does. Ugh.

care to post a link?

 

[xtr3m]

Weisbrod didn't pick Shinkaruk so in a way he's already been working for us.

 

[bo2shink*]

I can name 10. But still, touche.

I KNOW that scouting is important. I assume you do as well. But to pre-panic thinking this position is now the end is comical. But sure, it 'sounds' important. See, I am not what role he is playing in this mgmt group so I don't wet my bed seeing the signing.
