Who cares at this point? Staois is clearly the guy the owner wants running the show. He might be cheap from a salary perspective because he's inexperienced (although we don't really know management salaries) but would you call the organization cheap if they traded Tarasenko for Jiricek because of the difference in salaries?
The best guys aren't available during the season because, for the most part, quality people already have jobs. We will see what happens this summer. That's the time to judge how the organization is being handled.
I would be agreeing with you if staios also had an interim tag...but they basically confirmed that he's the full time GM when they hired poulin, no?
I was quiet before, because I thought we would be adding a guy of experience to either the poho or GM position.
Do you honestly think they'll demote staios to replace him with these better/more experienced people this summer? If the answer is no, then what does waiting for the summer do?
I'm all for waiting for the summer if there's a goal in place to fill these positions with experience...but I'm under the impression that we're going with not only a rookie at both positions, but also the same person doing both positions...as a rookie?
I was just hoping for more experience. We've already went the inexperienced/rookie way with GM and coaches in the past and it hasn't worked out. I was under the impression new ownership wanted to bring in people who knew how to win and have shown it.
Nothing against staios as a person or manager. I'm just stating how clearly inexperienced he is and how he's doing 2 jobs as that inexperienced person. Is this a recipe for success? I have my doubts based on experience of doing those types of moves and almost always getting poor results.
You compared it to Melnyk's cheapness. What else did you expect? He trolled this fanbase for years. Of course you're gonna get some push back comparing it to his bullshit methods. With Melnyk we had instances where people weren't considered or hired because of salary demands. It was built in to the operation that you HAD to be cheap to be hired. SS is quite obviously just the guy MA wants in charge, regardless of price, and he's shown he's willing to invest in the team, so POHO/GM would have been no different if other indications tell us anything.
I don't think I did compare it to Melnyk at all. It's been a long couple days so I don't remember even mentioning Melnyk lol. I may have said we cheaped out under Melnyk by getting inexperienced guys and thought the plan was different under andlauer. That's the only reason I would even mention Melnyk here.
