Sure sounds like Gorton is here for this season to be the “fixer”…
 
Hallelujah.

Good riddance.

Now, who's replacing Timmins as the head of amateur scouting?

If Judd Brackett was still available, I'd have him as my top choice, but alas...

Yeah, Molson is retaining his services. He wasn’t appointed to a position with the Habs. A technicality, I suppose. Maybe he’ll pull a Dick Cheney and choose himself.
 
We'll see. I get the feeling that there won't be much that can be done to fix the lineup because of how many long-term contracts there are.

I tried to warn y'all about those contracts to players in the their mid-to-late-20s. Every single one of them turned out to be bad.

lol you aren't the only one. He's handicapped by them for sure, but you never know what other teams will offer, even if it's nothing :)

Dude, he’s the de facto GM. He’s getting a 5 year deal, minimum. He could have gotten other NHL GM jobs.

Sounds to me as if Gorton’s being asked to fill the same interim role he was given with Bruins back in 2005-2006 before being booted out for full time GM Chi-pet
