Yeah, I'm starting to believe the idea that JR wasn't happy about owners meddling and was concerned about his long-term standing in the organization. It may not just be the Letang thing, but it may also be the dismissal of assistant GMs (that Yohe mentioned wasn't all on JR) and also the Tallon thing. I was thinking it was probably around something JR wanted to do that owners wouldn't let him do, my guess was firing Sullivan but trading Letang also falls in that category. I can see JR being fed up with the meddling and also just hating being a GM during a pandemic, to the point where he just quit because he was tired of it.
That's also why I really suspect Tallon will become the Penguins next GM. The lip service that the owners feed the media, like when Rossi said that Lemieux and Moorehouse wanted JR to stay as GM, really rings hollow if they're bringing in his replacement and also undermining his moves.
