I mean cool. We can all do that. That doesn't mean we deserve to be the GM of a f***ing professional hockey team. :laugh: I can respect that from a human side but it literally has absolutely nothing to do with hockey.

Here is what I guaran-damn-tee. If you are man, woman, or anything and everything in between... IF YOU CAN SCORE AT A MCDAVID CLIP - you will be paid 10+M and you will gladly be accepted on any and every NHL team.

f*** I'd trade Sid right now for that human if they are putting up 150 pts.

Sully wasn't getting fired. I don't know how that's a surprise to some.

This is the bad part of the scenario.

As KIRK says - who the f*** wants to be the Pens GM? The end of the era and only to get shit on in a rebuild? A GOOD GM who is desirable will want full control and that could mean firing Sully.

Whoever accepts this job is going to be a yes man with almost no power. That is going to be the problem and why you have to take this to the next level.

Tons of people would love to be GM of the greatest expansion team in league history.
 
I knew that Burke was a weirdo the day he made some calls to try to get Don Cherry fired from CBC instead of focusing on his GM job in Toronto (2012) lol

That dude is more concerned about gossip than actual hockey operation work… And you’ve all witnessed it whenever he was interviewed here :laugh:

Good f***ing riddance.

Guy is the definition of old boys club, people just give him a pass because he’s outspoken about progressive social causes. Doesn’t change the fact that he’s not had a good idea regarding hockey since the Pens playoff streak started.

I said it in another thread, you have to either be a simp or a complete moron to take the GM job here right now.

Yeah I think the Penguins GM job is super unattractive in reality. No flexibility to actually make an imprint on the roster.

Not if the mandate shifts. It’s a really easy job compared to some markets, honestly. There isn’t immense pressure to win, you just need to give the core a chance. And you won’t be fired if the team tanks because the core performance drops off.
 
FSG is having their press conference now. Dave Beeston just said that he has been asked by FSG to oversee the Penguins more, so it looks like he'll be the new "oversight" reporting to FSG.

I knew Sully wouldn't be fired. In fact I think regarding what transpired today, that he has a very heavy hand regarding the direction moving forward.

People making a lot of assumptions. Sullivan will not survive 3 GMs. If they struggle again, which they will if he’s coach, he will get fired. You might have to wait to mid season but there’s only so long you can look the problem in the face before finally recognizing it.
 
Hahaha here was their response to asking if Sullivan would be coach next year:

"We think Mike is terrific. It will be up to the new hockey ops to make a decision, but we think Mike is terrific"

Aka they're not going to hire a GM that's going to fire Sullivan.
