-SN- Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 The Bim Jenning extension, yay or nay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 If I had to pick, I'd say yay, but he made a lot of big and risky moves this summer, so I'd have preferred to wait until later this year to ensure he didn't just royally screw up. That said, up until this point, I think he's done a great job overall, so I'm fine with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreFan1 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Yay. Let him continue to stock the cupboards with quality youngsters then bring in a President of Hockey Ops if need be to handle trades and free agency when the team is ready to compete for the Cup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Jims made mistakes, but fewer as we go along and nothing like many GMs. His scouting team he's put together are some of the best. He's managed to actually rebuild the top 6 and the d group actually seems to be on its way. Stability at this point makes a ton of sense to me, to bring in a new leadership group now risks changing the culture and theres no benefit to that at all, and a lot of downside if it goes sideways.

48MPHSlapShot Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Like AJ, I would have preferred to see how the year played out. There's a lot up in the air right now. That being said, I'm not unhappy about the extension. It would help to know the term though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptKirk888 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 extension [ ik-sten-shuhn ] 4. an additional period of time given one to meet an obligation: ex: Jim wasn't finished building the team yet, so he was given an extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other GMs may have been less than fair on trade ideas if they were thinking Jim was trying to save his job. Don't know how big a factor it would really be, but he's free to think longer term now.

I'd rather our owner not have millions of dollars tied up in paying out contracts to people that are no longer here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the contracts usually have a clause where if another teams hires them the deal is cancelled anyway. Its only guys like Gillis that never get another job that you pay the entire deal.

MoneypuckOverlord Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 hate the extension. came too early. in my opinion of course. he doesn't deserve the extension this early and we also don't know how this team will play out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
