I don't mind it.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Total changes:

1. Dubas takes over as GM, but with saying that the team will reevaluate each off-season going forward.
2. Saucier promoted to Director of Professional Personnel
3. Heasley promoted to Director of Minor League and Amateur Scouting Operations.
4. Kessel promote to special assistant to Dubas
5. Daley promoted to special assistant to Dubas

Also worth noting, Nick Pryor is staying as the director of Amateur Scouting. I remember reading that Dubas and Pryor got along really well and Dubas ended up really liking him.

Good. Another GM will only interfere in his plan.
He's gonna do a better job of restocking Wilkes than anyone else would too.

I didn't know Trevor Daley was with the team. That's cool.

 

[SomeDude]

So every summer, Dubas is going to do an extensive search to see if there is anyone better to be GM than him.

I wonder how that will go.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I didn't know Trevor Daley was with the team. That's cool.

Yeah he was hired as a scout a few years back I believe. It seems like he's going on the Spezza track.

The nice thing is that Dubas is actually bringing in new voices and not just going over the same retreads. Spezza, Daley, Kessel and Mpofu (cap guru) are all new, up and coming faces.

That is interesting actually. Just waiting for the other Kessel to drop now.

"We've investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing"

Not sure I like Dubas keeping Pryor but everything else, including naming himself GM, is fine with me. Nice to see Daley around too.

 

[BrookswasHere44]

Having a Kessel with the team has only brought positives.

I remember reading around the draft that Dubas was extremely impressed with Pryor and the two have had a good working relationship. I think it's too early to judge any of his draft picks at this point, but if Dubas likes him, I have no issues keeping him.

 

[Turin]

Now that Dubas has concluded his intensive search for the GM to finish the Karlsson trade he can now finish the Karlsson trade

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Firing Pryor just because he's the son of a man that failed would be the same level of logic as punishing random Russians across the globe for this war
Either he's doing his job well or he's not. That's all that should matter.

"We've investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing"

“I’ve found that we need to pay more for our GM”

“Oh, cool you found someone?”

“…No”

 

[Buddy Bizarre]

What if Dubas is actually Sully doing a deep AI fake?

 

[Jacob]

Dubas has purged the organization of rivals and is now GM For Life.

It’s nice that Dubas failed to make any impact changes to the lineup and has decided at the same time that he should promote himself to full time GM…lol

They've never been in the same room on camera

 

[Zirakzigil]

Neither has Batman.... Hmm...

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Does this mean the money saved by not hiring a GM, will allow for EK?

 

[Peat]

Hmph.

I am disappointed, insofar as I'm going to hold opinions over something I know nothing about.

First off, I am disappointed that Dubas has not retitled himself God-King, and fear for his lack of authority.

Second, this feels like just giving promotions to four people to keep doing what they were doing. The only one that seems to have an air of "that's new" is Andy Saucier leading pro scouting. Is Saucier still the video coach? Apparently not these days. Does he have a life if he is?

Third, I can't help but wonder slightly if that what we've seen is that Dubas has looked around, been unable to get the guys he wants on board, so he's just promoted all the people left in the front office. The "we'll re-evaluate me being GM" thing is very easy to read as "I didn't get my man this time, but just you wait".

Fourth, this still leaves the front office feeling rather thin. I'd have liked to see some new peeps. Are we going to have only one AGM? Are these people effectively the AGMs? Are we not getting any new voices other than Dubas and Spez, the people left over, and yer new man Vukie Mpofu?

Finally, I would like to recant of my first point, and demand that Kyle Dubas retitle himself God-Emperor instead. There can be no doubt.

It will allow for a cloning machine to clone Sullivan.

Hmph.

"Grand Doobah" was right there.
