Sage is on a HB mandated time out for a few months. Because there are some here with extremely thin skins and axes to grind. - Ogilthorpe2
That's bullpoop. Sure he gets out there a bit and I'm not crazy with his referencing basketball on a regular basis. He and I are from different cultures and politically we aren't exactly synced up. There are a few of the posters here I mostly skip past but Stl is not one of them. Agreeing or disagreeing isn't the point, he's an elder and I think hearing what he has to say has value. He's not the only one on this site who gets out there a bit, and he's probably the most respectful one that does.
Lots of room for error everywhere regardless of who is hired. While a hockey guy in the Hockey Ops or President’s role makes lots of sense, one area concerns me. The guy is probably from the “old boys club” and he starts hiring his buddies. Someone without the hockey background can also hire a consultant(s) to help him find a GM. Once the GM is in place create a plan with certain milestones that must be achieved for the GM to keep his job. It then becomes in everyone’s interest to build a team to be competitive. - paulr
