It’s almost like these venture capital machines are just like any other dumb idiots.
I can’t wait until they trade a beloved player because they made fun of FSG’s favorite podcast during practice.
The funny thing about all this hoopla with interviews is that in my experience some of the best workers at places where I've worked were people who might not necessarily interview that well.
Nobody has any idea what they're going to get when they hire people. They want to think they know and that all the due diligence they do over hires makes a difference, but it doesn't. It's all luck in the end. I've seen people who interview well but are shitty employees and the reverse. Most companies have no idea wtf they're gonna get when they hire people, but they like to pretend they do.
Hockey is a little different because there's a clearer body of work to look at when it comes to hiring a gm, but even there I don't think a lot of orgs really know what they're gonna get.
Hell, look at JR. Old school gun slinger GM and that hire was not viewed as a brilliant one at the time. And he ended up being one of the best GMs we've ever had, at least for a few year stretch lol.
Nobody knows with this shit how it'll turn out
