Kent Hughes named GM - 5 year deal

Good managers don’t fear surrounding themselves with smarter people

That would make Reggie Houle the best manager in the history of the universe.

When you're THE dumbest everyone around you is by definition smarter than you.

Apparently Kevin Weekes is a serious candidate for the AGM job here. Reggie will love that.

Quelle cruelle déception!

Le beau et grand rêve de Stephen Bronfman, le rêve d’Alain Bouchard, de Mitch Garber et de Rodger Brulotte vient de s’effondrer.

This is more of the Rejean that I expected on Wednesday (the part about Geoff Molson).

LOL , only in Quebec would a newspaper allow such a vulgar article to be posted.

I remember once dining in a fairly upscale restaurant in Quebec City, the customers and the owner/bartender dressed formally. Then out of nowhere, the bartender is conversing with a well dressed customer, swear words in French peppering the dialogue loudly that all customers can hear it. Nobody flinches...but I am thinking to myself, no way this would be tolerated in Ontario.

Anyone with any type of remote success does, too.

I will give Gorton kudos for not being afraid to hire a GM who's probably a little smarter than him. Then again, it's smart to do that.

What are you talking about? This was always a package deal. Gorton told Molson what the deal was.

I'm giving Molson the kudos for growing some balls.

Rejean is 77, most of his hardcore readers are dead

Yup even though he was chicken shit to be transparent

They played it smart naming and interviewing candidates to make it look thorough

I see it differently.

Even if I had an incredibly strong bias going in, I would still take the opportunity to research and interview other candidates. Talking doesn't cost a dime, and you will undoubtedly learn something during the process.

Plus, there are other positions to fill....and who knows, there was always a chance Hughes would get cold feet and opt to remain in his current cushy company.

Yes, it was not a complete done deal that Hughes would be GM when Gorton took over. Maybe 95 percent but not 100.
