The Mother-fucking goddamn Off-season Thread

How would anything else be a big change?

I mean, I’m with you, the “big change” I’d make is filling the open spots with skill and speed, and to the extent they come with some nasty, all the better.

But I don’t think that’s going to be the “big change” the new guy will sell them on.

I think a smart GM would tell them they don’t actually need big changes, and that they have the ability to add bigtime pieces without dumping anyone.

Super interested to see what shanny says at 3. Will give us some insight regarding the way forward. If its all old school platitudes about being tougher to play against, etc....i start to get concerned.

he also might say nothing....ie Dubas wanted a sabbatical year....new GM will have a lot of difficult decisions to make

I know the possibility, but I’m not feeling like it’s a probability. I think the only one who’s safe no matter what is Matthews and maybe Rielly. The rest of them are all vulnerable.
 
sucks but he also couldn’t get the job done so this isn’t shocking.

Direction of next hire will be big. Dubas isn’t the best nerd out there. Remember he is Burke with glasses. They are guys (and girls) who just have glasses (Tulsky, Mandrycyk, Chayka).

Shanny is a wildcard because while he hired and ultimately picked Dubas, he also hired Lou, Hunter and Babs.

You want Chayka?

Also, Chiarelli has glasses and a pimp watch game

Media has to ask the right questions and press him on it.. I don't trust they will tho. And yeah, Shanny has a tendency of not giving up much, unlike Kyle.

It’s impossible that Dubie willingly left this gig. And the way the release was worded, he was axed. Maybe they tell a different story, but if that wording was accurate, Shanny seems the type to go with it and say they needed a change.
