I’m not concerned about that, because I have no idea, like anyone else, if there is a future plan or not.
I’m happy they keep adding to the front office, with hockey minds, different ideas, to toss around between them.
ideas can be tossed around and create confusion. What this team needs is knowledge and experience and sound decisions.
Running a team is similar to Engineering. A world I know well.
Never ever put a group of Engineers together. It is a waste of time.
Rely on one or two, and hope they are good at what they do. Hope one is an egghead who can pound out math and therefore do the theory.. And hope the other has hands on experience and can weed out the practical from the impractical.
2 of us, designed 100 M in products. I was the egg head. He had experience. I could predict the size of gas orifices and air openings, he understood controls and operation. I gave him a heat exchanger that was 95% efficient, he designed the burner. I predicted the location of the igniter and flame sensor. He added the controls. We ended up with a 79.7% combustion efficiency and 75% net efficiency.. Near perfect for a mid range class I or class II appliance.
I designed much of it, he added controls and electronics. I designed an outdoor version, he got it certified.
A hockey team is the same, you need the guy whose eyes can tell him yes or no. And the guy who can handle the logistics. The guy who can tell you draft A and not B, the guy who can tell you trade for A and not B. Or FA sign A and not B. And the guy who can make it happen.
The Murray and Dorion years are testimony to poor Engineering.
For reference, when we bench marked against our competitors, they were at 67% net efficiency!! 2 of us. World wide sales.
