    Interesting thoughts and ideas from JD on what he wants out of the next CBJ GM

    I agree the culture needs to change… I’m not sure that happens with Priest and JD still at the helm.

    I’m open to anything that would suggest a change in team culture of the last 20+ years of this team.

  4. ThunderousDemon86

    Does the culture need changed in the locker room too? I’d say yes.

    When he mentions Disruptor that doesn’t give me hope that it will be the person it should be.
    Sounds like it will be someone out of left field so they can be a “first” in their selection.

    They definitely need to shake the tree of Jim Nill. The Dallas Stars are the best run organization when it comes to developing and drafting talent , especially at the forward position.

    When I read that the next GM needs “significant GM experience” my heart sank. How bout exploring every candidate and taking the best option? The NHL is evolving and we need someone with new ideas,not an old dinosaur. They’re trying to do a Babcock for the GM position

    Look guys, I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but I can *guarantee* that approximately **zero** people will see it coming if they hire me

    We’re gonna end up with Gorton aren’t we?

    If culture improving means having a sharp, young hockey mind, cool, if it means someone knocking heads together to be a tough guy from the old hockey boys club, no

    What does JD do that we don’t like? Genuine question, as I’ve not seen any glaring issues with him in the org.

  12. LeocantoKosta_

    Do we have any idea when the hire likely happens?

  13. ohighost8

    Getting rid of JD would improve the culture.

  14. Fingar-Bangar

    Sell the team or start actually getting involved. This Can’t Be Bothered attitude from the McConnells has gotten us nowhere. That would improve the culture

    Culture? What culture? losing isn’t a culture

    Oh thank god Priest is involved. I have zero faith in these 2
