I seriously doubt that happens.
Having said that; I would not be at all surprised if he pulls off a few "unofficially orchestrated" trades/signings before he actually takes over(similar to Army with Halak), if only to get his feet wet in that arena.
Hard to imagine Army stepping out of the GM role a year early and plopping Steen into the deep end earlier than anticipated. It's even harder to imagine Army being fired after next season given he'll still have 4 more total years under contract.
I'm not saying Army will be fired, but it is not hard to imagine a scenario that makes sense. An amenable situation for all. I think it is quite possible that the Blues' situation would look rosy enough for Steen to take over a little earlier. Not sure why this idea is so inconceivable.
It would not be an indictment of DA.
