If they can create fake positions, then so can we. Make up a name of a position in this organization and tell us what that person does.

For example, the Sabres just hired Mark Fontaine as their new Hygiene Experience Coordinator. He stares creepily at the players as they shower after the game

Enforcement Administrator Visual Presentation Coordinator. Dude or dudette who instructs the intern to print the names of the officials to hang behind the bench. Hanging of course is done by someone else, as it's a union job.

Why, exactly, are people are flustered about this? Seems silly.

Breaking news: Bills hire Wally Dombrowski as Ambassador of Motivational Services. His main duty is to get liquored up and yell obscenities at the players and coaches during every practice and team meeting. During his introductory press conference, Dombrowski stated, "I take this job very seriously. You will not see me sober for one minute. That is a promise."

I find it interesting that a narrative exists that Pegula will only hire from within for the hockey department when he clearly has no such qualms about the business side, or the football team.

I mean I certainly agree he made a knee-jerk reaction 5 years ago with Adams over his intense dissatisfaction with the NHL head office because of the highly recommended Botterill and Lafontaine.

Wonder how much of the Karmanos/Forton/Ruff/Appert/Ellis trend is Pegula and how much is actually Adams.

I suspect this is an area where they feed each other.

I have a different perspective on the KA hiring. The primary reason that KA was an out of the box hire was that he presented the owner a balance sheet blueprint to rebuild that was much cheaper than taking a more conventional approach of reconstructing the roster.

My basic point is that an austerity strategy appealed to the owner, and he got exactly what he wanted.
