Sure but I think it was pretty clear his marching orders were to get Crosby back into the playoffs before his career ended, and so at the very least he's succeed there.

Yeah I think regardless of whether Pridham is fully deserving of a GM gig the team needs a fully fresh face right now.

Yeah, I mean, that's insane. Obviously the guys leading the charge were there before him (Crosby, Malkin, Rust, Rakell, Letang to a lesser extent) but I'm pretty sure nobody else on the team was there pre-Dubas.

Sunny Mehta would be an interesting name. Analytics guy who was a total outsider to hockey at first. But has now worked for 4 NHL teams over 10+ years including holding the AGM job with the Panthers while they won their two Cups.

It's pretty crazy. 3 years later Shanahan is gone, Trevling is gone, Leafs are a mess, and Dubas is taking a team almost everyone predicted would finish at the bottom of the Metro to the playoffs.

Small note, this assumes that the PA is pushing for tougher suspensions, which I do not believe to be the case. Individual players may be voicing that concern, but the PA as a collective has and will likely continue to be against tougher suspensions since the player being punished is one of...

Another guy who doesn't really seem to appear on any "top NCAA free agents to sign" list. Not that that writes him off entirely but worth noting. I do like that he's a younger guy, just turned 21, as opposed to pushing 25.

His ELC only starts next season, so the ATO allows him to join the Marlies now. This means he doesn't burn a year of his ELC for nothing. Pretty standard practice.

Man I can't wait for this to be over with.

Yeah Quillan to 3C. Call up Haymes to see how he'd do in a short 4C stint. Find a way to give Tverberg some minutes.

Hopefully this leads to an opportunity for others too.

Just took a job with Columbus to be the #2 guy there.
