if they are interested in Gorton they should hurry up before another team snaps him up

AGM Mellanby has resigned.
Confirmed that Bergevin is not coming back next year as has been rumoured for some time.
Bergevin recommended Mellanby as his successor and ownership said nah.
Rumours that Scott Gorton could take over as Pres of Hockey Ops
I dont know if Bergevin GMs the rest of the year or not or if they just make the change now. Regardless we could be seeing the team being taken in quite a different direction if they're cleaning house more or less.
I also wonder about Ducharme...some rumours about the team tuning him out as well.

'09: Louis Leblanc (18)

'16: Mikhail Sergachev (9)
'17: Ryan Poehling (27)
'18: Jesperi Kotkaniemi (3)
Timmins should have been gone years ago.By my count that's one top six forward (Galchenyuk, briefly), one second-pair defenceman (Sergachev), one third-liner (Kotkaniemi, still potential ofc), one bottom-pair guy (Beaulieu), and a lot of sub-replacement or AHLers

good for jeff gorton. what happened in new york was a rough go for him, glad hes getting another good chance
i think we all knew MB wasnt going to come back so definitely interesting timing and swiftness to get this done now. if only vancouver would be as decisive....
One day I will quit fantasy hockey, today is not that day.
Gonna predict that their successor will be no more successful, for obvious reasons.
When the organizations priority isn’t finding the best available candidate, it becomes much harder to be successful.
Gorton will call the shots. Leave the French thing alone. It’s a business decision. It’s their business. They’ve been successful with it while others with no such restriction have had no success at all.
Gorton will decide. Gm will be the mouthpiece workaround.
Yes, they’ve been very successful lmao. Envy of the league tbh.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
True. I am not arguing that this one move caused his firing. What I believe is that all the good will that was gained from a cup final appearance was negated by making that bone-headed draft pick. That draft pick led many fans and media to turn on him, or turn on him again. In the court of public opinion, he lost the room. I was surprised GMMB lasted a week in his job after the draft.

was scrolling through my twitter feed and names like Martin Brodeur and Roberto Luongo to fill the GM chair perked my ears. theyre both probably minimally qualified and are francophone so definitely cant rule it out haha
