Hire a Pres that has no experience becasue he was a Flyer.. Great move

It’s already a great move

Because he’s a Flyers fan 🙄

Was Murray Craven unavailable?

Quick update. Joe, the premise is not that they are making everyday decisions. The premise is that they are a huge influence on the philosophy of how the team will operate. Why is this so difficult for some to understand? That is all.

huge influence because people employed there ask their opinion. If they didnt seek them out they wouldn't say anything. That is all

Biden is not clueless He is a puppet to a very large extent so if you think Jones will be a puppet, bad news again

Like hiring the janitor to take over the Penthouse How is that for you in a comparison dimwit

I actually liked Jones on the intermission analysis. He's never had a President executive position so I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss him. Not sure what Comcast wants done either. If Comcast is only going to hire yes men sycophants, then it is hopeless regardless. I expected Waddell to suck at his GM and President of Hockey Operations, and he's been great so far.

Does your keyboard have a “.” button on it?

I wouldn't call it stellar either. But it is light years better than hiring Ed Olczyk. And I'm willing to go out on a limb and call it a good hire with a caveat.

It seems to me that if the list was just down to Eddio O, then the other candidates must have passed. I doubt they were screened. That means interest wasn't high. And instead of giving it to a retread like Doug Wilson (that would have been a disaster) or a guy who was just looking for an exec job but doesn't really care about this team (Eddie O), they gave it to somebody who wanted it. Based on that, I'm all in. And he knows what he's getting into. No surprises.
That leads us to the Caveat. He doesn't have exec experience. Means he will have to learn on the job. To that end, so will Danny B. But - both of them want it, and that makes all the difference. That is huge when you think about Fletcher. He was just a guy in a job. Yeah, a nice guy. But a nice guy without a plan. He got run over by the other GMs. I don't see that happening now. Jones knows the value of the players throughout the league. And they'll have a plan. Just a matter of whether they can execute it. Time will tell.

Fletcher didn't want the job? I can't hang my hat on Jones wanting the job. It's a results business.
