So who's the next (faux) GM?

[hairnova]

Down to the final three according to Eric Engels and that includes Briere and Darche. Not sure the third, but not really a surprise.

Sounds like the GM position is Hughes's if he wants it.

And Hughes definitely fits the “complementing Gorton” requirement…

So how many Molotov cocktails Krusty?

Gorton the “hockey” guy, Hughes the “business”guy. He’s a West Islander. Several MC’s. I still think it’ll be little Danny. Please, no Darche.

It looks like Darche is still of interest to the Anaheim Ducks.

Sure sounds like it’s Hughes’ job for the taking if he wants it.

 

[Krustchev]

Love how Engels says “could” be decided in the next few days. Obviously it could be . . . or not.

Jock sniffer media are mostly hammerheads.

Apparently Gorton wanted him to join the Rangers front office when he was there and he declined. Clearly Gorton wants him.

I want him purely for the fireworks that will ensue. The francophone media jackals are going to expose themselves for the bigots we always knew they were.

 

[Krustchev]

All signs point to Hughes. As long as it's not Darche, I'm good.

If so, Quebec media will be placated by the Habs having interviewed Quintal, Briere, Darche

it was like a regional “Rooney rule”

 

[Krustchev]

Hughes as GM could be announced today as per Martin McGuire.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Some agents are going to have big money clients fall into their laps.

Doubt it. Hughes’s agency is large, other agents there can take over his clients.

French candidates being interviewed only to have a bilingual Anglo from the West Island get the job instead ain't going to placate anyone at le Journal de Montreal or on the open line shows. They're going to lose their shit and I love it.
