Management is not my strong suit ... among a bunch of other things. Who is the best option to take over as gm and the best option for coach? If they are gone this season or next season, who do we want? I like Colliton, but I like him with the kids. Dineen, no, Ulf, no, Granato ... I don't know anything about him, but for interim it couldn't hurt? Q and Bowman have had successes and accomplishments not a lot can say in the nhl world, but them being replaced is unavoidable. Who helps us the most? I've said it before, and I hope it happens. Hossa behind the bench.

Internal candidates: Maciver and Granato as at least interm GM and head coach. If anything, I could see Maciver stepping in right away without the interim tag.

I really really hope so...we'll how stupid can management be to think that by basically putting the same product on the ice as last year and hoping they would generate a different result? Who in their right mind taught that by signing guys like Kunitzs and Manning that there would be any impact? Let's not forget that the Hawks were a last placed team with some under performing veterans, a defence that was porous a PP that is atrocious, and a coaching staff who seems to be stagnant.

Change is needed on many levels IMO....it was a good run, time to turn the page.

I think historically great run as far as the Hawks are concerned, would be more accurate, but don't disagree it might be time to turn the page.

You can already see empty seats at the UC. Why prolong the agony? Make a big splash and go for real change. LA already fired their coach, so the pressure is off for McD.
Someone asked earlier if Crow would want to waive his NTC. One should ask, why would he want to continue to play behind this team? He is showing he is capable of stealing games.....With a good defense in front of him. He is playing well enough to be a Cup contender. why not ask him if he is willing to move to a team that is a goalie short (Toronto, Florida, Edmonton).

Any average FO would be doing that of ever player not just Corey
I still believe if play continues as is both Corey and Kane will ask
to be traded, both have had issues with the FO before and both
want to badly win another Cup.

This FO is about show and tell, living in the past, not looking
forward in any manner whatsoever.
