Mind_Taker posted:No, they did a thoroughly exhaustive search of all GM candidates and found that Rob Blake just happened to be the best candidate possible. Just like Garth Snow just happened to be the best option for the Islanders, Sakic for the Avalanche, Francis for the Hurricanes, Hextall for the Flyers, etc. Trevor Linden's highschool education and near decade of being a PR guy for a chain of gyms meant that he was completely qualified to take on the President's role in a $900m organization.

Ron Hextall managed to convince the Bruins to give us a 3rd round pick for Zac Rinaldo.

Convinced? That's not very Sweeney. Hextall picked up that phone and first thing out of his mouth was "I'll give you a 3rd for Rinaldo."

Remember that scene from Inglorious Basterds, where they just used the sound of Bear Jew's bat tapping against the wall to freak out Nazi prisoners? I picture Hextall's phone calls going like that. "C'mon Ron, it's Zac Rinaldo, best I can do is a 5th for him." *tapping of old Sher-wood stick against desk* "Ok! OK! a 4th! Jesus!" *tapping continues* "FINE, A THIRD!" *click*

It's a foregone conclusion that Chris Neil, who is dumber than you even think he is, will be going into the Senators front office. They're actively talking to him about what role he wants to be in. Soon every org will be this except without the glory days to fall back on:

I don't get why RWAS has it in for Ken Holland. Detroit addressed their problem two years ago and has so much to look forward to. What gives?

They're actively talking to him about what role he wants to be in. As a lifelong Sen and tough guy, he'd probably be great at schmoozing with season ticket holders, sort of what Brett Hull does in St. Louis, or community/charity stuff. Maybe "player development" as a mentor to young guys. You're only hosed if he ends up in scouting, coaching, or GM-ing.

As dumb as this article was/is, Blashill has essentially operated like Babcock Jr. with how he manages his in game roster. That being said, I doubt even Scotty Bowman could get this team to the playoffs.
