:angry: He is sooo good at being a GM, let's add Head of Amateur Scouting to his title and see how good he REALLLY is. What PISSES ME OFF about this even moreso is that he had an opportunity recently to become GM of another franchise and refused it becuase of his commitment to the Islanders. Furthermore, he recently had his dad pass away. Way to kick somebody while they are down, Wang. |

It trims operating costs, and we've been losing money hand over fist for 10 years. (cue the woe is me clip). It's a business that's in decline, not a hockey club. Between the cutbacks and the gimmicks to get cash from the fan base there are a thousand holes in the dike (hey now keep it PG-13 ) and they keep sticking pieces of gum to fix it, when it's time to rebuild the entire dike.

oooooh....ok. I'll keep it clean. The decision makes me thing of the phrase "penny wise, pound foolish". So we are going to save on a salary of Director of Scouting... one of the people in the front office/management committee/insert title here... who have been doing a good job? OK. Makes sense.

4cupz... nothing personal taken and I hope overspeed doesn't take it that way. It wasn't meant towards him specifically but rather in general to the many posts I've seen on that topic. I've seen 10 complaints about Moulson going to arbitration. This is sooo commonplace and such a non-story, but its like there is a sky is falling mentality because we didn't get IK, which was a 10-20% shot at best anyway. I'd be making a bigger deal about losiing our director of scouting since that is the one thing we've been doing well the past 4 years...and is kinda important to a rebuild, but what do I know? |

On point blank posters were saying after the "good news" today, now the "bad news" about Janks. Did I miss something? What's the "good news"? |

Garth Snow is such a good GM that he doesn't even have to make an offer to top free agents. As a matter of fact he is so damn good...without EVER being able to sign a top free agent. He is so damn good at making his annual top 5 pick in the draft. Garth Snow is so damn good that I fully expect him to be named the best head scout of the 2010/11 season... |

Was just wondering how much Snows hands are tied. Kind of feel like Wang is pulling the strings and Snow is getting a bad name. |

You're catching on......unless there are people who swear Milbury didn't change from 2000 to 2005, Neil Smith was the start and end of the "Committee" (which means he listened but did whatever he felt like), Snow had free will and the similarities between 2000 and 2010 and all throughout regardless of the different GM's.....those antics being similar was pure coincidence. I wonder if I'd rather have Kenny Holland/Lou Lamorello as GM with Wang in charge or Mike Milbury with a better owner (as if there was worse out there)? I'd be hesitant to say Holland/Lamorello knowing the toolbag was still owner. |

Keith Jones on VS "But the Coliseum became a repository for all the team's troubles, a convenient scapegoat. There were suggestions that no major free agent ever would set foot in such a decrepit place. We have two words for anyone making that argument: Fenway Park. History says free agents would play in an old boxcar if they got enough money and had a chance to win." - Mark Herrmann 查理斯 · 請死你混蛋 | |
