I've been on the Trevor Timmins bandwagon for a while now. I think it'd be a real coup to land him. It would be a very progressive move for a very geriatric-thinking franchise.
Get a President of Hockey Ops, someone with a high profile who can be the face of management to reporters, then hire Timmins to be the real GM. I think that setup would work nicely. Something very similar to the Flames' setup with Burke as President of Hockey Ops and Brad Treliving as GM. In fact, Burke has been significantly LOW-profile in Calgary, and he has let Treliving be his own person. But that setup is something I envision for us.
But we would have to suffer an embarrassing first-round exit in order for us to contemplate cleaning house, imo.
We're probably stuck with JR and the consortium.
I kind of wonder if that's more or less how the Penguins view their current set up, though. It sounds like one or more of the AGMs engineered the Despres trade and JR was the point man, both for contacting other teams and dealing with media. The titles are different but the inner workings may be similar.
