D2M...the fact that they hired/promoted a guy with ZERO experience should also tell you that Sherman wasn't really pulling the strings. Not with EL in his role.
BTW how many teams did EL manage before coming to the avs?
To not have the distraction of "Pierre put his son in charge." Following the story years earlier of his son on the team.
We know that Eric at VERY least had a role in contract negotiations and is part of the reason for the ROR situation. It isn't a jump to think he was pulling the hockey related strings... even just looking at his title tells you something there.
Again this organization couldn't care less about headlines(nor should they) if they did they wouldn't have brought players like May on the team. They just do what they want.
Hell they could've spun it the other way 2 time cup winner grooms his son to take over.
To just expand, Eric was a HUGE part of the O'Reilly debacle, from the Avs' side.
ROR wanted $ no matter who was in charge if you weren't paying there was going to be problems.
Having had this argument before will just go in circles.
