Confirmed with Link: It's Started! (Management firings)

Also, as a counter to those who believe Sullivan is the master of puppets behind the scenes....

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Sick, Sully/Yohe fanfic's about to drop.

 

[K Fleur]

Chia bout to give Jarry an 8 year deal this summer.

Koskinen coming in as a backup.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Bergevin’s first move is going to be signing 10 random mediocre 7th Ds to watch the games from the press box with him.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Just imagine for a moment this team's next FO was Chiarelli as GM and Bergevin as POHO. That'd be incredible.

That would be next level stupid, so I expect it to happen.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Yo Bergevin might bring back Therrien lmaooooooooo

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I'm sure those guys aren't seriously in the running, but you'd just have to f***ing laugh at that point.

Glad they gave them invites to interviews though. I'm sure there was a ton of insight to be learned there.

Tulsky is the only one I would be interested from that list

Funny the Leafs board is now talking about Tulsky is Dubas isn't going back. We shouldn't waste too much time and energy with Bergevin, Chiarelli etc.... Hire Eric already

 

[Turin]

The analytics say two negatives equals a positive

 

[TKalltheTime]

I love seeing all the obese marble-mouthed big brains backtracking like a MOFO on the “Dubas to Pittsburgh is a done deal!!!1”

 

[mephisto1812]

I'm absolutely convinced Jake's shoulder injury robbed him of his shot velocity and willingness to get his hands dirty in the corners. It's part of the reason I'd be down for trading him for a different type of player, and I'm a major Jake fan.

Totally agree with this, he's just never been the same since. Love the guy, but not sure we should pony up what the market will demand for him. Trade him... if he goes off somewhere else, well, you knew that was a possibility. Just get someone back for him that will make it ok.

It would take a lot for me to side with Sullivan at this point, but man....hiring Chiarelli would probably be enough.

Sully.. BITTER? That guy lives bitter. I don't even think it's in question.

 

[Turin]

Also advantageous to potentially hurt a divisional opponent by hiring Tulsky.

 

[Pancakes]

I don't know why the Penguins GM would already be decided if they're still interviewing 10-12 people and haven't even gone on to round 2 in negotiations. Especially considering Chayka's name isn't even mentioned.

Seravalli mentioned Chayka last week

 

[The GM]

Just imagine for a moment this team's next FO was Chiarelli as GM and Bergevin as POHO. That'd be incredible.

Can we at least fire sully and snag Dallas Eakins to coach?

 

[Pens x]

For what it's worth (not that much)

Steve Dangle said he heard from some people that Chayka as President and Bergevin as GM is what is going around.

Gross

lol if they hire Bergevin one of two things:

1. I no longer will be fielding "FSG is a super serial super top shelf operation, guys. Nothing but the best is demanded" as serious takes.

or

2. The Penguins job is considered el stinko.

I think FSG proved they aren’t some elite ownership

 

[Pens x]

Hire Darche, please. Hard pass on half of these names thrown around. Tulsky would be okay too.

The wide net theory is the latest desperate attempt to defend FSG. I don’t care if your net is the size of the Pacific Ocean, you don’t interview Chiarelli.

But but but they aren’t hockey guys; leave them alone.

Maybe being new to the sport they would interview Chia to see what they don't want in a candidate lol.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Mike Sullivan is an unpleasant Mayo golem.

 

[Buddy Bizarre]

Bergevin being Mario's best bud makes me think we are going to end up hiring him and I am going to f***ing hate it.

You would assume Mario isn't heavily involved with this process?

 

[Scandale du Jour]

You would assume Mario isn't heavily involved with this process?

I would certainly hope so, but it is the "higher" hockey guy FSG can refer to in that process.

 

[Deport Ogie]

You would assume Mario isn't heavily involved with this process?

Probably not but it wouldn't be surprising if FSG reached out, especially if they are hoping to have him more involved this coming year as they spoke about at that press conference. It's one thing to ask Mario for someone they should speak to in round 1 and a complete other to hire the guy simply to pander to the minority owner. Though I guess that's certainly possible.
