Some posters don't bother learning he is more a pro scout than amateur/draft guy. Then they piss on the hire lol. Glad we have JR. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He previously spent the last nine seasons as the team's director of professional scouting and the three years prior to that as a pro scout. A three-time Stanley Cup champion with Pittsburgh (2009, '16, '17), Clancey was a vital member of the decision-making team that brought in Bill Guerin and Chris Kunitz during the '09 Cup run, as well as veterans Matt Cullen, Trevor Daley, Carl Hagelin, Justin Schultz and Ron Hainsey during the back-to-back championship runs in '16 and '17. 5 2 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabid Rooster Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I’m glad our ownership has deep pockets. That’s a lot of management personnel. What is it they all do? I think we will need a supervisory agm to understand all the roles and keep everyone busy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleboy Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) For those who think it is weird for JR to be hiring the assistants The GM is supposed to be someone who he will train. They are not talking about bringing in a veteran NHL GM. Edited December 16, 2021 by appleboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how the incoming GM will feel about the AGM being a close confidant of JR. Just hope the Rutherford Show doesn’t backfire, the GM should’ve had a say in the AGM hire imo. JR is interim GM. Essential Meaning of interim : a period of time between events I.E. first event = JR gets hired; second event = GM gets hired (interim = ended) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest thing he emphasized is finding the right guy. That's why he stated he's willing to take time if that's what he needs to find the right person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that he is pretty good at that and found three consecutive Calder cup winners/finalists with his previous club. I know you are kidding but I wouldn't even mind this. Let Benning de stress and concentrate on what he is good at, drafting and amateur scouting. Plus then aqua gets some work out of Benning for the millions he will pay him anyway lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime I guess people expect him not to need help running the team. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys who have been in the NHL for a while and have a proven track record to support the rookie GM. Not whatever the hell we were doing the last 8 years with a rookie GM, Coaches, President. The last 8 years were a total fail because Aqua didn’t set anyone up for success Sedins are next maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Monahan Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 42 minutes ago, Kootenay Gold said: To be honest @SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME; I am not that impressed with his scouting or pro scouting record while with Pittsburgh. You can check it out at quanthockey.com. Granted they were drafting later on in each round but I just do not see much there that impresses me. I hope he proves me wrong about him though. He was involved with pro scouting- free agents, trades, waivers, etc. He wouldn’t have been involved with the entry draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malkin Pettersson Horvat Rutherford said there was a lot of work to do, and I think he'll be pretty active from now until the TDL. Some players I can see leaving are: Pearson, Hoglander, Poolman, and maybe even a Top 6 player. Be great if he could snag another (2022) 1st rounder. Is he trying to pry crosby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be useful if the successful candidate for the new GM job is someone who is not a trusted associated who has previously worked with Rutherford. regards, G. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
