Clearly AND it’s also built in bias….I’m sure he used “analytics” quite extensively to support his contract negotiations, thus has gained significant insight into meaning vs simply spitting out numbers / %sHughes is clearly very intelligent.
Even after accepting the job?Hughes is clearly very intelligent.
He’s got a shield. Gorton.Even after accepting the job?
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.
Yeah sure it wasn'tNew Canadiens GM Kent Hughes combined his passion and his brain
Hughes was always a very good student, going back to days at Beaconsfield High School, and took mother's advice to become a player agent.montrealgazette.com
Read about halfway down. It was not a package deal.
Lol, I present you with facts and evidence and that's your best response? I thinnk I'm winning on summary judgment.Yeah sure it wasn't
You dont know that as none of the other interviewees have been hired to date.They interviewed the other (younger) candidates to fill the other positions. Build a real management cadre with smart people and make sure a line of succession is put in place.
yup , Hughes may not go beyond his 5 year dealThey interviewed the other (younger) candidates to fill the other positions. Build a real management cadre with smart people and make sure a line of succession is put in place.
Yes because it was in an article therefore must be so. I have facts and evidence that this is bullshit and direct testimony would destroy your case.Lol, I present you with facts and evidence and that's your best response? I thinnk I'm winning on summary judgment.
I love the part where he says that simultaneous translation exists. Really, Reggie? Then why the need for a francophone GM in the first place? Last I heard simultaneous translation works both ways.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.
Fake news. The Gazette couldn't find its own ass with two hands and a flashlight. They are the laziest media outlet in the city owing to the fact that they are in competition with no one. Gorton or Hughes or Machabee or whoever says it wasn't a package deal and they just print it without examination.New Canadiens GM Kent Hughes combined his passion and his brain

You provided statements that cannot be verified. I see no "evidence" there.Lol, I present you with facts and evidence and that's your best response? I thinnk I'm winning on summary judgment.
I’ll give you a lesson in the law: unverified statements are evidence. The weight you want to give that evidence is up to you but it’s still evidence. The way Hughes phrased it suggests to me, and I’m far more experienced than any of you in weighing evidence, that it was not a done deal that he would be the GM concurrent with Gorton’s appointment. It’s clear that Gorton wanted him to be the GM from the get-go, and that Molson was probably fine with it, but it couldn’t have been a “package deal” if Hughes hadn’t yet accepted or decided.You provided statements that cannot be verified. I see no "evidence" there.
An unverified statement is evidence of nothing other than the fact that someone made a statement that has yet to be verified as factual. If you choose to believe that it wasn't a package deal simply because the persons most invested in having you think that way told you so then fill your boots. But this front office and ownership group have a long, documented history of, at the least, obfuscating the truth and, at worst, outright lying to us. If Geoff Molson told me it was raining I'd first have to look out a window before I'd believe him.I’ll give you a lesson in the law: unverified statements are evidence.

Sure but this "evidence"is easily refuted by deposition. I've been sued enough to know these things.I’ll give you a lesson in the law: unverified statements are evidence.
