What does a promotion look like for a director of scouting? Senior director
Assistant GM I guess.
So we could potentially have both our directors of scouting poached... I would be putting a restriction on that. Maybe say he can take one person with him.
Bound to happen, re: the poaching.
But i have alot of faith in Mario+JR+Sully and now Gonchar who hopefully gets an expanded role here to stay.
I also like Karmanos and Recchi.
Lets just poach Canes guys and promote em.
They are pretty good at drafting.
Id try and pry Futa away from LA too cuz the Pens GM role will be open quicker than the Kings.
Part of what makes NHL front-office wheeling and dealing is personal relationships, so preventing people from taking promotions wouldn't aid us in the long run. People don't tend to look favorably on employers who prevent them from advancing.

Definitely. Word would get around and it would be harder to recruit people moving forward.
in other news, rutherford said he pictures a larger role for gonchar now. wonder what that means exactly.
Would hope so.If the Pens win the cup, would Botterill get his name on it?

And our gm is old as dirt and could take a downturn in health at the drop of a hat.
The team could wind up being extremely different in the not so distant future, IMO
I believe Gonchar's position has only been part time role up to now. I think he and his family are still in Dallas most of the year where his wife runs a charity, and he comes around and helps out every so often. When he took the job initially he did so saying he was going to try it out for a while to see if he likes it, so maybe he's come to the conclusion that this is what he wants and will become a full time coach. Or at least, JR's going to approach him and scope him out about being a full time coach.
Let Futa learn what not to do in LA first and then take him when JR finally retires.
