How does he help with 3rd period collapses?
I don’t mean to be a sour puss here…but wth is that gonna do?
More voices in the room never hurts and this was the Cap Guru for that late 2010s run in Vancouver that ended up making the Stanley cup (and burning down half of Vancouver)
Actually doing more research this might be one of the better cap guru’s in the league…Vancouver was VERY positive on him and that’s one of the hardest fanbases to appease.
First mission: petition the league to change the length of games to 40 minutes.
I didn’t even know this was a vacant position
This has “succession planning” written all over it. GMDW’s tenure was always going to be a short one. I wouldn’t be surprised if part of the pitch to get him was having an inside leg on the position once Waddell leaves.
Now we go!
doesnt matter what moves this club makes Wadell is second worst gm in history of franchise
