Kevyn Adams GM thread

[toddkaz]

But Eric Robinson plays on the second line of the Canes and he already has 9 points (4+5).

He is up to 12 points in 17 games. I liked Robinson. He had good speed but hands could use some work. Looks like he might be figuring things out.

This team needs depth at forward and Adams trades for him and lets him go.

Well, I think he fits well in the RBA system. Carolina didn't make any big acquisitions, they just added the players they needed, who work, and now they are in first place in the conference. We needed a center, and I suggested a trade for Kotkaniemi in the offseason, and now he is thriving on the second line with Robinson and Necas. Unfortunately, Adams almost never tries to play Moneyball by finding good players for free or cheap. I wonder who exactly suggested a trade for McLeod, I think Ventura and his department saw good analytics and put their hand to it.

I'm betting they were key in targeting Malenstyn as well.

Moneyball is over KA's head I'm afraid. Ventura being a bigger part of the front office is growing on me. Will it on Pegula enough to go over his relations ???

Maybe.

I'm a guy who supports analytics and metrics. I'd push Ventura as GM (if Terry needs only an internal candidate).

If they remove Adams they should bring someone in who has experience in constructing a playoff roster.
Not another in house promotion.
There is more involved in being a successful GM then just being good at analytics.
Maybe Ventura is capable, maybe not.
Enough experiments with people who have never been at the position before.

You don't get it, this is an option if Terry doesn't want to hire a GM from outside, but only internal promotion. Then I'm for Ventura. He has NHL experience, plus analytics.

Of course, it's better to conduct a thorough search for a GM from outside, but who will do it, Terry? Adams? I don't believe in them.

Do you want a GM like this?

Dentist style – this is how the general manager of one of the NHL teams recently described the working methods of his colleague:

– He will drill until you give in.

I’d rather have Karmanos at the helm than anyone. Guy had 3 cups as an AGM.

I would still find a GM on the outside, but if Terry only wants an internal promotion that's an option. I just think we don't want to lose Ventura, maybe promote him to AGM.

Drilling reminds me too much of Pegula

So they will work together.
