jr to SUPER GM

Nothing new really.

I'm curious about that last part. I don't think we'll be making a coaching change today, the TSN guys would have reported it at this point.

Brindy has seemed totally uninterested in coaching so far. I think it is more likely he gets a management promotion.

My bet is Chad LaRose for Director of Dreamy Smiles.

Wonder if Velucci will get Francis' old title as VP of Hockey Operations, then Brind'Amour would take on the assistant GM role, and JR retaining the role of President.

Too perfect that "Get Lucky" and "Joker and the Thief" are some of the last songs before this thing starts.

I **** you not, some lady on the site that shall not be named believes Francis will be a bad GM because of the way he played in his final years as a Hurricane.

I'm attributing any hashtag posts to everyone here. Hard part is figuring out the trolls vs the people actually believing some of the stuff they're saying.
