Yep Dubas or anyone else is not calling at 3 am June 1st.

Idk why he would lie about this though.

It feels like narcissism. Honestly. He just wanted attention.

And what does even being first matter anymore? I think the days of getting the scoop first is almost over. Better quality discussion and deeper conversations seem to get more clicks nowadays. I mean the Rogan show is #1 and it's long-form. The days of quick hit rumors isn't as popular anymore.

From another poster…I always thought Sullivan might be a sticking point and that the GM wouldn’t have authority to fire him…if Dubas won’t take the job, FSG is going to hire someone who likes Sullivan in the job for the next 5 years lol…

“Just heard Friedman on NHL radio. He said the Dubas situation will come to a head within 24 hours.

He was asked about Sullivan. He thinks that FSG would want Dubas to make it work with Sullivan.

He said he doesn’t know for certain but ownership feels they have one of the best coaches in Sullivan and would have one of the best GM’s in Dubas, so they would prefer to keep them both.

He also said that Sullivan to the Rangers is the Rangers dream scenario…”

Rossi is a liar :laugh: The people who are actually in the position to accept the job aren't even staying up. Unless he's calling fellow peer Penguin reporters, there is nobody to talk to at 2am.

The Capp that is Iced said it will be resolved by Friday so it lines up.

I firmly believe that whoever is the next GM will try and make it work with Sullivan regardless of FSG's disposition. I think the immediate focus will be on making the front office staff more analytics based, including AGMs, scouts and whatever else fancy titles people have these days.

There’s a difference between 1) trying to make it work initially because you haven’t seen the team with a modified roster play and you want to assess the team over the start of the season and 2) being told by the owners that the GM can’t fire Sullivan because they love him and think he’s their Belichick lol…why would any GM who fancies himself a good hockey person accept that mandate from the owners…

Its a damn shame he didn't make this decision on Monday, could have saved some webspace.

This is a solid move, FSG got their guy, one of the better younger GMs in the game. Expect some compete and moves this year. Sully needs to step his game up now or he gone.

Pretty much everyone in hockey respects Sully as best we can tell. Apart from everyone liking complete freedom, this really isn't the onus to them that it is to people here.
