She also said they don't need anyone to sell the Verizon center, so essentially the Caps brass are putting an emphasis on winning and winning alone. Unless there are those who believe 99 will have any pull whatsoever in the officiating department, he adds nothing.
Are you trying to prove a point to me or something? I'm not saying or hoping that he's coming here (as long as its not GM I coudlnt care less one way or the other), I'm just qualifying that report as very specific.
What I am saying, is that with the media, you have to look at exactly what is being said. She was VERY specific about talking about a GM and saying the Caps arent looking for a GM to help fill the seats, but to manage the team.
She wasnt saying anything about any position other than the GM position and she put that to rest.
However, being so specific doesnt mean another option isnt still in play. He could still very likely be announced as a president and she would not have been wrong in her reporting.
She didnt say the Caps arent interested in Gretzky and he's not coming, she said they arent interested in him as a GM and they do not need their GM to fill the seats.
Two very different things.
