Chiarelli Hired as VP of Hockey Ops, Hitchcock as consultant

[Eldon Reid]

Maybe Army brought him in so if Chia is like I wouldn't do that trade, Army knows to make the trade, or if Chia says do that trade, Army knows not to do it.

I'm surprised that Ken Hitchcock's health has held up this long.

He had lost a considerable amount of weight before he came here as coach. So he has had a great strain on his body for a long time. And then to be in a high stress position such as head coach of an NHL team.

I don't understand all of this hand-wringing about Chiarelli. It's not like he's going to be able to make a deal or sign a player behind Army's back, so any input he has will be filtered through Army and, if it ends up to be a poor deal, Army will (and should) shoulder the blame.

Didn’t we bring PC in mid season 2019? Like I get everyone associates him with the bad trades. But he isn’t exactly new to us

Don’t. Let. Chiarelli. Make. Any. Decisions. Ever.

He is absolutely convinced of his own genius but consistently makes the most baffling, horrifically costly trades, and the most asinine signings of any GM I’ve ever seen. The only GM even close is the legendary MiKe Milbury. The bigger the trade, the worse it is. He doesn’t deserve another job in the NHL, and why anyone would consider him an asset is a complete mystery to me.

2/3 days after bringing him and we have a “major announcement”, coincidence? I think not!

He's been here for 2 seasons tho? lol

Feel much better about this now with Armstrong’s extension.
