No need for this years 1st overall. As for next years....


And honestly, Nonis hasnt done anything wrong aside from the stupid Clarkson contract. IMO if Nonis gets rid of Clarkson this offseason, he can stay.

We will see if this works. This is the model of Burke and Nonis.

Now Shanny and Nonis.

I have to see if this works. One thing is certain, there needs to be a change in culture from the top down.

We had too many complacent, out of shape, lack of heart players on the team this year. It's unacceptable.
 
lol not sure I believe that.

Shanahan isn't even officially hired and both Dreger and Bobby Mac said that Shanny will take time to evaluate both Carlyle and Nonis
 
What a brutal move. Shanahan has ZERO experience running a hockey team. Get ready for more of the same horsesh!@#. If Timmy wanted to do something grand he should have hired Ken Holland away from Detroit.

Tim made his mark by getting rid of players like andrea and rudy on raps yes i know it was masai but TL hired him. he wont stand for losing
 
Nonis to stay on as GM under Shanahan so whats the use? Nonis is the reason we are where we are now with his lousy signings looks like Shanahan is there just to take the heat off of Tim (lie) weke.

No one knows what Shanny likes in a player or style. We all know how he played, so maybe he will like Clarkson and less finesse players. I am genuinely curious. We can't be any worse than this year, so this is a positive move as I view it. Changes the culture right away.

A hire doesn't in itself change the culture.

In fact, in many ways, this perpetuates the current culture.

Burke without experience.

They've hired an image.

Now, he may do something, but there's no management resume to point to at the moment.
 
Complete and utter speculation, but looking at a list of coaches Shanny has worked with... wouldn't be surprised if Tom Renney is considered for the coaching job

Running a hockey team isn't brain surgery , as long as surrounds himself with quality people he'll be fine . He's been in the game his whole life and has been with very successful organizations so he would have experienced how a quality franchise is run .

My only hope is if he's going to make changes in the front office he does it quickly .
 
Nonis watching the game tonight:



shiiiiiii, I'm just gonna do it




Nonis: Hey Shanny, just give it to me straight... do I have a job?

Shanaban: What, no congrats on the new job? Sorry man, I'm already putting feelers out for replacements. Nothing personal.

Nonis: replacementS? As in plural?

Shanaban: uhhh, guess I let that slip. You wouldn't believe how ridiculously unqualified I am... Almost as ridiculous as the salary they offered me!!! But yeah, everyone's gonna be replaced.



Shanaban: Sorry man. But listen, if you find a new gig somewhere this summer hit me up at the draft, we'll be unloading your favourite players.

Nonis: What the hell, why won't anyone believe me? Those contracts are bargains! Whatever man, enjoy getting Eiffel Towered by Rogers and Bell.

2 mins later:



Nonis: Hey Burkie. How's that GM hunt going?



Burke: Lol, these fools think I'm actually gonna hire someone. No way man, I have to show those tards at Rogers and Bell what their rebuild could've looked like if they hadn't fired me.

Nonis: (*Thinking to himself* but your doing it completely different than here:huh:) I hate Rogers and Bell too! And I can't stand the thought of working for Shanaban, remember all those suspensions he gave us while he laughed about Lucic running through goalies?! Hey remember this? *sends pic*



Nonis: The dream team! Hey, if you're sticking around in Calgary I'd totally ditch MLSE to reunite the dream team.

Burke: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah, well as you've probably deduced by this point I've figured out how to operate these "phone berries" or whatever they're called myself, so I really don't need you anymore.

Nonis: Come on man!

Burke: Nice signings this year... How many times did I tell you about long term contracts!



Nonis: ummmmmmm



Burke: HOW. MANY.



Nonis: 4! Was it 4 times?



Burke: We're done here.
