Doug Weight named assistant GM, will also remain assistant coach according to Staple. The sale to Barroway looks to be very far off with these moves

What does one have to do with the other?

Tony Gwynn Dead

They could not bring in someone from outside the circle of trust?

Didn't Cronin leave right before Snow was hired. It was almost ten years ago

Tony Gwynn Dead

very sad...RIP Mr. Gwynn...

You just want to give me a hard time today. Maybe Barroway still buys them? Just seems strange to me we are getting these moves like Garth is confident he will be around for a while.

RIP Tony Gwynn

CHI has told Michal Handzus it is going in a different direction. He will be UFA.. Bob McKenzie.

How's this for irony:
I thought Gwynn had passed away a couple of months ago. Not sure why. On Friday, I decided to look up precisely when he died on wikipedia and was surprised to find I was wrong and he was in fact alive.

Today he's dead...

Should not be surprised with these moves anymore. Isles could not bring in someone better to work with the young D?

Doug Weight has been named the Assitant GM. Hmmmmm... Bob Corkum named assistant coach too...

This sounds as though they're preparing for life after Cappy IMO. This way if Cappy and his staff are fired, Weight still has a job as Assistant GM.

Just a shame two very qualified coaches were not available this offseason to hire.

Maybe Snow is going to be president and he is grooming Weight as the next GM

Not trying to be a jerk but you're complaining about a guy you probably know nothing about. Who did you want as assistant? Why don't you like Cronin? Because he coached with the isles 10 years ago?

Thanks for freaking me out Vukota.

If #Isles followers needed more evidence that sale is not close and GM/coach are safe for next season, look at today's moves.

Just wanted to let you know I'm alive. No reason to look me up on Wikipedia.

It's fine Vukota. I want someone totally outside the family. A former successful NHL dman that can work with the young talent. See what Rod Langway is doing.

Seriously though, I'd give Hemsky a shot.

Would look good with Tavares for sure
