hopefully that's true Daisy.
but indications are that they aren't even really interviewing lately and Shanny has sort to taken control. It's not that sudden a thing either. Nonis has been gone for quite some time now.
maybe they sort of know who they want and it's a timing thing. we'll see.
sorry, I apologise that sounded really snappy, I didn't mean to.
It's just that for a very long period of time now, it seems that there isn't really a "lot" of rumours "that happen to just happen" in regards to Toronto. everything is speculated, or hinted at but no one really knows anything, and it is very very quiet. then "POW" something happens.
I don't know what happened in regards to the prospects that they were interviewing, but again - the Tampa Candidates said they both wanted to stay with tampa for a while, Gorton was promoted, and I wonder if the issues in LA caused Futa not to leave or something. I don't know.
Again, the only situation I can think of that mirrors this situation is Colorado.
Sakic was simply an advisor, then he got promoted to Hockey president, then he fired Sherman and he took over. So he (to me) learned on the job, and his hockey VP is Roy, who only has QMHL experience.
For me, personally - I truly don't understand the problem. But - I respect that you do. I just figure - let tomorrow's trouble borrow tomorrow. I would rather Shanahan take his blessed time, and get the right guy (and we don't hear anything) than Shanahan rush to find someone simply to be all "Here, everyone, a GM" and it's like Bennning or JFJ or something.
