I mean, Rutherford reported to David Morehouse. Ray Shero reported to David Morehouse. How is this different?

Multiple sources have alleged that Morehouse is a shadow GM; that he demands final say on any deal involving substantial players.

His experience is in political communications. He shouldn't even be consulted on personnel decisions.

From first glance you’d think ownerships problems are that the team doesn’t have enough in the pipeline and that the team is too soft.

I think Burke will help marginalize Morehouse.

I'm excited. I like both moves.

Brian Burke shows his biggest smile ever seen in public.

Interesting. I like the Hextall choice, Burke will be worth it if we can watch his tie slowly unravel on draft day.

Also I know it was a long time ago, but didn't Burke build the Anaheim cup champion team? I know the job he did in Toronto was...yikes, but that's not what he'll be doing here anyway.

Ought to be interesting. Can’t believe I have to root for Ron Hextall and Brian Burke to take my team back to the promised land, but here we are.

On the bright side, we'll have a rivaly with the Flyers and Capitals again.

It's only a matter of time until they acquire a few goons to stir shit up vs Flyers and Tom Wilson.

Gosh I hate the old boys club.

I'll keep what I really think for me, but let's just say that I do not like it one bit.

We're all friends here. Flame away. I like it from a standpoint of my perception more so than knowing too much about these guys except the basics
