It my observation that Comcast has stepped into Comcast spectacor division ( remember comcast is the majority owner)and demanded management changes because the hockey organization seems to be bleeding money. mr snider spend millions on brez and then spent millions more to get rid of him. spent more millions to release briere. look at the millions of dollars being wasted on vinny and hartnell. don't forget that mr snider also spent more millions a few years ago to rid the sixers of bad contracts. comcast might be a billion dollar company but it did not get that way by spending millions with no return on investment.
in my opinion, the reason luukko left was pressure from Comcast.
according to the dec 3 CROSSING BROAD speculated:"And Luukko’s departure comes as Snider and Comcast-Spectacor may have been seeking subsidies from Comcast. Now, two former executives from Comcast’s cable division, Dave Scott and Gary Rostick, will join Comcast-Spectacor: Rostick as CFO, and Scott as acting president– Luukko’s replacement." does it strike anyone else that two Comcast managers were brought into the spectacor division. when your boss (Comcast) take out your #1 assistant and replaces him with their own people, it is a sign that that the big boss is not happy.
remember ed snider told john clark after the departure of luukko...he just met Scott, who will ostensibly run his(snyders) company . that just does not happen unless there is major concern in the upper levels of the corporation .
hextall,s first comments were about developing talent and not paying big bucks on old talent, a complete opposite to sniders lack of patience.
Comcast actions tell me a culture change has taken place in the hockey team. mr snider might at the top of the organizational chart , but it is in name only. the power now lies with comcast
