I think the Patriots assistants failing has more to do with them being relatively inexperienced and reliant on Belichick more than anything else.
Sabres Fan in NS Posted April 20, 2017 Report Posted April 20, 2017 Maybe they should just hire everybody ... Lombardi as PHO, Dudley as GM, Drury as AGM and errand boy and Housley as coach.

Might not be the best guy for here. Take into account that the last two AGM purged from Chicago or Chevy in Winni and Bergevin. Very mehhhhhh Edited April 20, 2017 by WildCard

They look like they don't care Though I think the Toews contract is a mess, the real mistake was that thing they gave Seabrook. Good lord. That team would be better if they had traded Seabrook for assets (like the Blues did with Shattenkirk), and used that money to keep Saad. Sort of the mistake that Lombardi made in LA: got too attached to players based on past performance, and handed out a retirement contract for it.
I-90 W Posted April 20, 2017 Report Posted April 20, 2017 Unlike our new HC opening, I really have no opinion on this. All I've ever known was Darcy before TM. Really was hoping that TM was going to be some type of creative hockey genius of a GM but looks like that was just wishful thinking.

Yeah that Seabrook contract is atrocious, but it's much more workable than Brown. I want 100% nothing to do with anything the Kings have dumped off.

Brawndo Posted April 20, 2017 Report Posted April 20, 2017 Per Dreger Brad Treliving has been suggested as a fit in Buf. I sense the Flames will attempt to extend their GM's contract as early as next week.

Hammy wants Dudley, either for GM or president/czar. Duds for GM, Malarchuck for goalie coach. Just like old times... Am I the only one who read Norm McIver and immediately thought Norm Lacombe? I was all, wtf did that guy get into front office work? And is he any better at it than he was at the hockey?

Winston Posted April 21, 2017 Report Posted April 21, 2017 My top requirement for a new general manager: Initials that combine with "GM" to form a cool acronym.
TrueBlueGED Posted April 21, 2017 Report Posted April 21, 2017 I cannot be harder on the Paul Fenton bandwagon. I'm willing to be permanently attached to it via nail gun, where the nails then get welded to the frame.
