Has Nick Pryor actually done something worthy of being fired? Or does he just need to go because he's the son of Chris Pryor and isn't a Dubas hire?
It sounds like Dubas is pretty happy with the Pickering and Yager picks.
Who knows. Even if you want to make judgments on the guys taken, you don't know how much he had to do with it.
I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of the front office people Dubas let go didn't deserve to go either though, which is what makes Pryor's status interesting as the highest ranking front office member who joined under Hextall by a mile. Everyone else other than him went (although Brett Hextall survived as Integrated Development Coach I note). It's pretty clear Dubas wants to put his own stamp on things.
Still, we've no idea what that means either. Totally plausible that Dubas likes his work and approach. Hell, totally possible that Dubas, a 30-something hockey lifer from a hockey family who started young as a scout, gets on well with Pryor, a 30-something hockey lifer from a hockey family who started young as a scout.
