is that Tulsky?

Or the stock image when one googles business hockey nerd

 

[hockeylover]

is that Tulsky?

yep.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Finally! Consequences for repeated failure. What a novel concept!

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Maybe just promote Pridham

 

[Preston]

Maybe just promote Pridham

Why? Do we know anything about him other than the cap stuff?

 

[leafman101]

No interest in Pridham. He's neither a hockey guy, nor a nerd, and if you are going to change it up why go with Dubas' Nonis.

 

[JackBurton]

I really can't see them going with an inexperienced guy. I'd be quite surprised.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

If Bergevin becomes GM I will root for the Leafs to win the cup next year. It’s too delicious of a narrative arc to resist

I will happily watch the dumpster be set on fire with sheets of analytics being used as kindling.

Unless Shanny enjoys babysitting duties, which he might

 

[MindzEye]

I just greg moored the greg moore news.

 

[hockeylover]

Tulsky is definitely the most interesting one for me but someone else in a similar vein I'd also be OK with.

It's the Chiarellis etc that make me fucking nervous as hell.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Why? Do we know anything about him other than the cap stuff?

I’m guessing he’d be offended by the Tavares cap hit

 

[Preston]

this was this week re: penguins search.

gulp.

I'll toss out a fun prediction. I bet they hire Karmanos. He's primarily an analytics guy so maybe that's ok + he has a lot of experience in the league. Idk much else about him tho.

* Karmanos helped Rutherford start the process of integrating analytics into their hockey operations department in Carolina, which he said is still a work in progress. Unlike other professional sports, hockey has been slower mainstreaming analytics into its culture. And in turn, that made it tough for people within individual organizations to feel comfortable integrating advanced metrics into everyday use.

But analytics have become much more prominent over the last season or so, with dominant teams like Los Angeles and Chicago open about the way they’ve embraced analytics to gain as many advantages as possible.

Rutherford has embraced analytics as well, and is adamant about doing his part to help the Penguins gain all of those advantages as well.

“In Carolina, we were just rounding into it where we were hoping for that consistency, which is what we’re trying to bring here throughout,” Karmanos said. “And that starts with Jim and his willingness to go there and to make analytics part of the process, and a significant part. So I’m excited.

“I think it’s important for people to know that we want to find an edge, we want to look at all those ways that help the club get to where we all want to get to.”

Scotty Bowman is like 90years old.....one of the greatest hockey minds in history but at this stage in his career, i'd be skeptical as either coach or GM.

I don't think he was referring to that Bowman. Stan, not Scotty.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Everything is going to be okay Presto

Or, at least, nothing much will change, good or bad.

Oh, damn. He's like... KING of the nerds.

Huh? How is this guy in hockey then?
