@curtisandrews
@botchford you nail down who's at that press conference tomorrow?


@botchford
@curtisandrews linden is the president



LeBrun and Botch both say Linden. Looking like he's the new president. Nicholson likely not then, unless he's the GM.


President shouldn't matter much for the roster, I doubt Linden will interfere much with the GM which is a great thing. I just hope he doesn't hire his boy McPhee.

I'd hire Kruger as a coach. I don't think he got a fair shake in Edmonton.

I believe he's part of Tottenham's management team now.....

If the Aquilini's really wanna hit a homerun with this hire they should be interviewing all of these guys who haven't got a shot yet as head managers and hire the most impressive interviewee. McNab, Hextall, Fenton, Will, Briesbois, etc.


They already tried the retread coach. So please don't hire a Feaster/McPhee/Dudley now.

Except they want a guy they can sell to the fans. Easier to do that with a big name like Nicholson, Linden, McPhee, Naslund than someone most fans don't know about.

I like that idea.

If Nicholson is hired it won't surprise me at all.

Their best move would be to hire a successful assistant GM like Hextall McNab or Benning.

And not one other GM knew about that... And if the Col GM was so smart he wouldn't of matched.

Even B Daly had to look it up.

Thanks though.

I think he's pretty happy making a Zillion in the soccer elite league.

That has to be the reason to not fire Torts. That and knowing after 1 more season everyone will waive their NTC's.

You read that wrong, hire a GM who's currently an assistant GM is what I meant.
