Odd timing.
Seems so, much like the Ducks signing Dotchin.Maybe they want to ensure no team claims him?
"It's hard news to take. At the same time, this is my job,'' Conacher said of the demotion. "A lot of people would be honored to be in my position where they play hockey for a living. I can't be down. I can't complain.''
"I want to be the one knocking on the doorstep and taking advantage of the opportunity if I get that,'' he said. "They expect me to go down there and play well.
Seems like a great guy. Don't want him on the ice if we can avoid it, but fine with him in the locker room.
I think he is in fact doing dual GM duty. I remember thinking upon his promotion "Wow he has a lot on his plate" I can't entirely recall but it would make sense to my reaction at the timeWith Conacher and Martel both in Syracuse, we can expect the team to score bucket loads of goals.
We always paid a lot of attention to Syracuse, but we might be even more attentive now, given all the time JB spent building that team.
I sincerely can't remember who's replacing JB as the assistant GM. Did we ever name somebody? Or is JB handling everything?
