Speculation: Discussing the Next GM (Part 2)

[THE HOFF]

Not sure if serious...
You expect internet posters to draw up a lost of candidates as if they're working in industry as VPs or consultants??

How the hell are people here supposed to know who'd be an actual good candidate? We dont have any information to actually know anything.
The only thing we agree on is whoever is in charge now has been a failure and is continuing to be one, there is no point in moving with the same staff.
Who comes in after...i dont know. Can you draw me a list of all the current GMs, their assistants, the GMs in all the minors as well, with all their experience and accomplishments..? Once that's done, can you tell me what are their philosophies, visions, and strengths?..

That's what made me laugh ...to read posters throw names out of their hats. names of ex-players with little to no experience.

I said find a president of hockey operations, and let him clean up and find the next GM. So we are basically saying the exact same thing, but for some reason you wanted to argue.

 

[THE HOFF]

I'd give Timmins a shot and I told you my reasons. And the clean house might come but not so sure it comes in the short term. You know what scares me the most? Bergevin is fired and Molson is left doing the interviews for the next GM. Be careful with what you wish for is what I say

I'd give Timmins a shot too, but in the kneecap.

Phillipe Boucher? Drummondville's GM?

Price au Colorado, l’échange «plein de sens» - TVA Sports

October 2019, was proposing Price for Grubauer & Byram. Said it made sense for both teams.

Maybe Boucher is trying to audition for the GM job with the CH.

He looks like he too once owned a Bonimart charge card

 

[jackeymoon]

I'd like the next GM and head scout to focus more on the team and less on their steroids and muscles.

 

[Kimota]

Bobby Smith as President. Mark Madden Jr as GM. With Dean Lombardi and Patrick Roy as assistant GM.

For coach, I would like Joel but our development is important and so I would keep him in Laval for the time being, taking care of our boys for a few years. Dominique Ducharme should be fine with a roster focusing on younger players.

Well I agree then.

 

[Roadhouse]

We got Dominique Ducharme from Drummondville.

How about Phillipe Boucher at the end of this year for GM?

Quebec Remparts head coach experience. Some seasoning as GM in Drummondville since May last year, NHL experience culminating with a Cup in Pittsburgh and made the suggestion last October that Price for Byram & Grubauer would work for both teams.

Ray Shero would be someone I consider

I'd consider Betty White at this point.

God no. Ray Shero is worse than MB.

You mean Martin Madden?

 

[Kimota]

You mean Martin Madden?

yes

I should remember, his dad was the worst drafter in the history of the Nords.

 

[Roadhouse]

I heard Scandella's French the other night during the locker room interviews, it wasn't atrocious.

How is Réjean A. Shero's French, you think? Perhaps an obscure New-Yorker accent but some basic French vocabulary from mommy nonetheless?

 

[HabsDood]

Youppi or JiCi would do ok I guess but Jacques Lemaire or Larry Robinson would do too..

 

[1909]

Youppi or JiCi would do ok I guess but Jacques Lemaire or Larry Robinson would do too..

both are-were coaches first and above all. Plus Lemaire would prefer to go to hell than to work for the Habs in Montreal. Lemaire cannot stand the medias at all.

 

[paddy]

Devils just made sure Brodeur would not be available...

Devils just made sure Brodeur would not be available...

He’s not going to get the GM role. John Harris is a big time analytics guy (coming from his finance background), the next Devils GM will be in the mood of Dubas, Chayka and expected to use analytics win immediately.

 

[waffledave]

I don't know enough about every potential candidate to tell you who is best. That's the President's job.

But, I can tell you that the President, The GM, the coach, basically everyone in this organization from a management perspective said that the goal this season was to make the playoffs. That we HAD to make the playoffs.

We aren't making the playoffs and we haven't in a long time.

So, this team will fail to achieve the goals as laid out by the organization. Bottom line this is it.

Now, the MB defenders seem to be claiming that they never actually meant that the goal was to make the playoffs, but I don't know, seems to me it's quite clear what kind of expectations were laid out to the fanbase.

I do not see how management can survive if they failed to meet the objective they set for themselves.

I agree with everything except the last line. Yes they failed miserably in their objectives but I can easily see them survive.

Marc Bergevin GM replacements

Brisson/Hextall/Roy/Timmins

 

[Vachon23]

Marc Bergevin GM replacements

Brisson/Hextall/Roy/Timmins

Brisson will never quit his job and the 3 others are not good candidates

I'd give Darche a long look.
I'd also love to see Molson be replaced as the top hockey voice. He needs a president of hockey ops. Since the mailloux fiasco it's clear this management team needs a new leader.

Patrick Roy, "assisting"? Don't think so.
