Well, Wadell re-signed with Carolina and I think Russo mentioned that Hextall has too many similar qualities too Fenton. Seems like Guerin is one of the leading candidates.
Would be cool if Guerin was hired by the Wild and then we hired Chiarelli as his replacement. Then, next Summer when JR signs some really bad UFA contracts he is fired and replaced by Chiarelli.
Guerin really would have to take JJ with him to add some grit to his new team.
And Recchi as his chia pet...I mean, as his brilliant hockey mind behind the bench...
Oh please don't be playing with my dreams.
I do believe that Kingerski was first to report the ZAR signing, so his credibility has certainly gone up this summer.
Does Velucci replace Guerin then?
He was.
He also linked us to a bunch of guys that Yohe said the team weren't that interested in, and admitted he didn't have great sources near Rutherford and mainly had to rely on around the league.
Pinch of salt required.
I don't recall that but Yohe certainly isn't a know-all. And in this day and age you don't need sources close to the GM. Just someone down the line from someone who has a direct source to the GM. The game of "telephone" is much more accurate these days.
But yes, I agree that a pinch of salt is needed. And yet Kingerski is on the right track to becoming more reputable.
Not sure I follow the bolded.
On the rest - Yohe doesn't know all but does seemingly know more than any other beat reporter, and I think Kingerski is roughly speaking reputable but even reputable rumour mongers are in line to be wrong as often than right.
Speculation that he has an antiquated view on how to build a team + that he’s being groomed to replace JR.Why does everyone hate Guerin?
Why does everyone hate Guerin?
Re: the bolded
Let's say someone overhears GMJR tell some assistant that they're looking at Player X. This someone then texts their friend the news about Player X. Said friend texts their friend. Since this is written word, not spoken, and essentially instantaneous it means there's fewer ways to get the info messed up. And it spreads quicker. That was my point. For instance, we got some bad news in a very small meeting at work yesterday morning and by the time we left the meeting the news was already on the radio.
By process of elimination who is left leading the knuckle draggers?
