Rebuilding teams have a lot more ice time available for younger guys they recently drafted. That tends to skew any metric on draft picks in favor of teams that spent more time out of the playoff chase. Sillinger has played a lot because the front office failed to find more veteran alternatives.

Anytime I heard “as early as” my BS meter goes off. Anything can happen as early as the beginning of this week. Those aren’t real reports.

Interesting that he was on the 1980 Miracle Team prior to the Olympics and said the movie was very accurate.
DW made it clear Laine’s time here is done.
Said his ideal team is strong down the middle and good goaltending. Also Monahan is the clear #1 Center.
He is very honest and down to earth. Really like DW.

Also loved the bit about DW being responsible for giving Brooks the whip!

The timing of Nash's promotion seems planned. 12 months is enough for most fans to forget the Babcock fiasco, and in the midst of training camp with recent tragedy in everyone's mind people are too distracted to get really upset about it.

Or maybe you read too much into it and DW is setting up the organizational structure the way he wants it now that he's been here a few months.

I hope this means Nash’s first official act is to deep six the chili chant…..

I still really don’t understand why people get their panties in such a bunch over what Nash does. Who cares? Lots of folks seem certain that he’s terrible in whatever role he’s in. How would any of us know?
He’s clearly highly thought of both inside and out of the organization.

So basically what you are suggesting is promoting Nash was entirely Waddell's own idea which would have not happened necessarily if the GM/president was someone else.
I'm not buying it. I think the decision was strongly influenced by the ownership.
And for the record, I don't know how qualified Nash is for the job, let alone how good is he compared to the league average among directors of hockey operations. I'm not assuming he's terrible at it.

I can't help but root for the villain in some cases... Nash, the chili chant, to name a few.

Because there’s no way that the best guy in the world for this job just so happens to be in the building. Just seems like a familiarity hire rather than an extensive search for the right guy.
