That's completely made-up. If he actually did, we wouldn't be in this mess. Proof is in the pudding. I'd agree if we were talking about someone with an actual hockey management pedigree and team building success, but we're not.
Most here are advocating putting a buffer between ownership and the GM, someone who knows hockey better than Molson does, someone who has that pedigree I mentionned, which is entirely worth considering, so your intervention is completely irrelevant and is downright ridculous when it comes to an appeal to authority of something that is not science, not an exact science. It's sheepish and lame.
You're right that we wouldn't be in the same mess but that doesn't mean we'd be any better off with an hfboarder in his position. If anyone different is in molson's position things would be different. In a sense that's a given, it's a non-statement.
I don't disagree with more competent people in management, particularly a second voice as president of HO to counteract bergevin or the gm, but I don't think anyone here would do a better job than Molson.
