Glad to hear that it's a done deal. I guess longer would have been out of the question, but just happy that they re-upped him!

Great news. After some initial stumbling (goodbye Kris Versteeg), he's recovered to preside over a first rate scouting and administrative team. Glad he's ours.

Amazing news. Having a good GM is so important to building a contender....He might be the best in the Biz right now.
