So first off, either Bowler is not ready for this position or he’s handcuffed by ownership. Either way it’s not helping the team.
Yes they have many of those off Ice positions filled, NOW. That was not the case for the previous few years, yes besides last years covid mess. Also my info says those positions are used less often than many teams and the pay is below average.
Of course if the record was better we’d be ok with where the team is going, BUT they aren’t are they? There are glaring areas that need immediate attention, yet nothing is happening. That’s concerning and that’s why we’re spitballing. Some may not understand my opinions, I’ve grown up with this team, played with and personally know many grads, personally know many league scouts and officials and I’ve coached at a pretty high level. My opinion is still just that opinion, but I’d like to think from an inside pov. My biggest concern, this team gets bought by out of town interests and moved!! You run a team down long enough, you loose fan base and before you know it you loose your team!! The O is in a great deal of flux and I can almost anything happening.
