Sunny Mehta, Mike Gillis, Doug Armstrong his “names to watch” as director of hockey ops – or in Mehta’s case, argues should entirely replace Fitz.

  1. Okay so I actually read the article and surprise, Novo’s cited sources are Emily Kaplan speculating on a podcast and Nick Kypreos also speculating with only one sentence mentioning that “the feeling in New Jersey” is that Fitz knows he’s on the hot seat.

    CAN WE STOP sharing Novozinsky’s articles unless he actually had legitimate insider info to back up his pieces? I’m so over his negative slant to just farm clicks from all the doomers.

  2. I’d actually be more pissed if he gets demoted than if ownership just did nothing at all. Demoting him is a no-balls move. Rip the fucking band-aid off already or sell the team.

  3. I remember the days when Sunny used to pass by our subreddit. I would welcome him back!

  4. would love to know if Novo has had a scoop this season that wasn’t 1) an outright lie 2) just rewording scoops from other “insiders”

    remember last September when he said Luke Hughes wanted five years to match Jack’s contract ending and that was wrong.

    remember when he tried to put Jack down for not playing before the Olympics and Quinn Hughes had to call him out and now he’s loving Jack again.

    just last week he said Nemo is going to ask for more money than Luke when not one person has reported that not one.

    he uses information from other “insiders” and then makes his own speculations based on that plus unrelated information and passes that off as his own insider scoop or fact.

    we all so badly want Fitzgerald out (for good reason!), so of course he’s going to use that to generate clicks.

    our beat reporters, for the most part, are just a circle jerk.

    guys like Novo and Nichols would much rather beef with fans on twt versus doing any actual journalism.

  5. Sunny would be my first choice. But I don’t want Fitz to be demoted to GM – I’d rather he be team president, with Sunny as a GM who doesn’t report to him.

    It’s essential that Fitz not be the guy making our next draft pick.

  6. Novo has turned into a clickbaiting hack. It sucks – he was a good reporter a few years ago, but everything this year has been a bunch of sourceless BS. If you wanna read it, good for you – but please recognize that it isn’t insider info or actual journalism.

  7. Yo fuck Novo this year, he’s just making shit up left and right all year and trying to pass it off as real insider info.

  8. What good does this do? He’s not a good scout. He’s not a good contracts guy.

    What would you say… ya do here?

  9. Just fire him already. There’s 8 games left in the season. What exactly are we waiting for?

  10. LOL why demote him? Just fire him. Why the bizarre loyalty to a dumbass?

  11. Unless I’m missing something here, why not just demote or fire Fitz and bring Armstrong in as GM? He already has a connection with Brodeur.

  12. Scouting department still needs a complete rebuild with or without fitz

  13. What happened to novo? I don’t remember his reporting being this gossipy before.

  14. He’s become a modern day Mike Milbury. Living off of Shero’s core and avoiding his own blunders (Holtz, Markstrom, Palat).
