I don’t think it changes much, Patrick still reports to BMac (the real decision maker as president).
I'm curious who the high quality GM in waiting candidates are?I would've liked to have seen some interviews with outside candidates, if for no other reason than exposure to some other potential plans for the organization. Caps management has been very inbred for a long time.
Honestly would take that job over a Hockey GM job. Of course wanted to have some success on the musician side since we are talking hypotheticals.
Not sure if I get this “hot take”.Unimpressed with nepo hires. Not a fan of upper management to begin with and this just makes Daddy Patrick the defacto GM.
When you look at everything as a failure of management you tend to believe all management is a failure.Not sure if I get this “hot take”.
Dick Patrick has the same job and pull he always has. If he wants something done, it gets done.
This doesn’t change that, like at all. It simply raises a few boats, as the tide comes in.
This has nothing to do with authority. I’m not sure how you cannot see that — like at all.
How about VPCP?careful you'll get trampled by the Nepo stampeders.....
The dude has put his time in, despite what a few have to say on it....
GMCP it is....
i mean, it always seemed a pretty big deal.The way they're selling this, it seems a bigger deal then I thought. I wonder if GMBM is actually winding down and taking a step back. Just seems like such an odd time to do it when, seemingly, he was the guy in charge of the offseason this year.

Mathieu Darche (Tampa Bay AGM/Dir of Hockey Ops), Paul Krepelka (Florida VP of Hockey Ops), and Mark Hunter (London Knights, former Toronto AGM, Dale's brother) are some of the names that are being tossed out there for Edmonton's GM search (or Columbus' GM search before they snatched Waddell). Ryan Martin (NYR AGM/Harford GM) is another name worth considering.I'm curious who the high quality GM in waiting candidates are?
Possible? Sure. But it's also possible Edmonton is considering twabby.It's also possible that Patrick was a candidate for the Edmonton job and the Caps just restructured, offering him that job to keep him.
(I can't bring myself to use CP or an abbreviation incorporating it. It has bad meanings in certain worlds.)
