take bill guerin with you

 

[Contender]

There goes one of the dwarves.

 

[Jag68Sid87]

Well, at least now we're the 'Pittsburgh 8'. Still too cluttered.

 

[Asuna]

Well that's disappointing. He seemed to have more promise than Guerin.

 

[Asuna]

Sooo when Rutherford leaves, Botterill as GM, Guerin as assistant GM?

 

[Shady Machine]

Dammit. He was the only one I liked haha.

 

[Waffle Fries]

We're only allowed two compensation picks, right?

Can Shero take Scuderi now?

 

[Jag68Sid87]

Still holding out hope that we can poach an up-and-coming assistant or scout from some other organization, rather than promote from within.

I've always been a fan of Trevor Timmins, Montreal's head of scouting, but I would also be intrigued by Kyle Dubas of the Leafs and Mike Futa of the Kings.

It would be hilarious if a team poached Dubas away from Toronto. Fans would go nuts.

I would love to see the Penguins get Dubas/Futa...but Toronto loves Dubas too much, and Futa is holding out for the Kings GM position when Lombardi leaves. Don't know much about Timmins but Montreal has some good young players, so that's cool.

Just seems like the Penguins are pretty content with promoting their own guys. I also wonder what happens to Karmanos when Rutherford leaves.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

I loved him as assistant coach.

What he's done behind the scenes is too unknown for me to comment on. I always got the impression that he was more old school in his thinking, but I have no way to verify that.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

And suddenly there's an open seat on the Cabal of Stooges...

 

[Penguinzilla*]

Now who's going to say every prospect is awesome and can be a NHL'er?

 

[Penguinator]

Make that 7, Guerin has been given other responsabilities...

 

[Jacob]

Still plenty of good GM candidates if Botterill isn't capable. MacIver or Brisebois for example.

 

[Ogrezilla]

I like him, but I think we're better off getting rid of some of these damn assistant GMs just to have a clearer vision for building the team.

Time to start updating my resumé.

 

[kbuck8851]

Length of time before the Pens pin the Depres trade on Fitzgerald?
Roughly lateral move implies a unity of vision with Shero?
Likelihood he really is behind the Depres trade?

Just a few questions...

Brisebois would have to be picked up pretty quickly. I can't imagine that Quebec wouldn't be all over him if they get an expansion team.

 

[Asuna]

Update it for those expansion teams

 

[Fordy]

he was one of the good ones, i feel like, only because he was a good assistant coach

or maybe he sucked. who knows

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Time to start updating my resumé.

Just show up to the interview wearing an "I <3 Morehouse" T-Shirt and you're probably in.

 

[Penguinator]

Thanks for reading my mind bro.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

We need to get rid of Guerin before it's too late man.
