Ted needs to play the part of the big man and draw the attention to himself as much as possible.

He'll go back to his AOL days and just assume that all STHs want to renew and then make it very difficult to cancel when they call to complain.

Get back to his roots

that's just a stupid idea.

Dreadful. Kudos for sniffing that particular piece of doom so early.

i like the dean evason by way of paul fenton doom better right now. but.....

I still can't buy the idea that they see Fishman as a potential replacement. Knowing them, I'm probably wrong though.

"Thank you all for coming. I will be brief.

After a thorough tour of the facility and some enlightening discussions with George and Adam, we have concluded that injuries, bad bounces and fan negativity cost us at least 30 points in the standings and therefore the Stanley Cup.

This is simultaneously amazing and unacceptable.

So to both celebrate and correct this groundbreaking failchievement we are announcing the lifetime appointments of George McPhee and Adam Oates to the newly created positions of Hockey Emperor and Bench Professional, effective immediately.

We like our decision, we do. In one brilliant stroke we've once again redefined industry best-practice and set the standard all teams will soon follow. Adam's 3-P system of Process, Professionalism and Positivity will eventually be the defining characteristic of all well-coached teams in all sports. George's continued work to do what he does will keep getting done. And we will all have our own Stanley Cups. Dozens of them.

In conclusion, great seats are still available for next year, and we hope to see some pixel love and fan renewals very soon. That's it.

Now get out of my suite."

There's no reason for Fenton not to look at Trotz first and foremost, assuming no budgetary constraints. (Tying a new GM's hands would be a lovely start for that person, I'm sure.)

you left out that if dave prior hadn't brain washed the goalies, the caps would have made the playoffs easily

I went through the first couple of pages and only saw like one guy suggest it.


We should have polls here for potential GMs and coaches though, with enough information in the OP about each guy so people can make decisions.

trotz goes to Pittsburgh. that leaves fenton with bylsma or evason. he takes evason because he knows the best spots in china town

Nah that would still reflect on McPhee's past work

 

[FloridaCap]

Please?

Yes please.

 

[Liberati0n*]

It's a testament to Oates' ****tiness that Evason doesn't sound nearly as bad as he used to.

Crosby can play LW while Kunitz plays C.

 

[txpd]

Yes please.

as the coach? not a chance unless they build a team for that. the best players on this roster are just not right for that game.

lol no no no, the jerseys. I hate our jerseys.

Our winter classics should be the away while a slighter more modern version of those I quoted should be our homes.

Hell no to DH as coach.
