appleboy Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 It looks like they are keeping the people who deserve it. Stan gets to learn from one of the best. Now we need a GM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnAntoski Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Having a lifer, to counter an [outsider] like JR, is a good move by Aquaman. Congrats, to Smyl ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiznak Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 This was long overdue. He’s been a senior advisor with this team for over a decade now. Should have been promoted from his position when Trevor was let go. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimito Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) Front office getting better every week. Still need a capologist. GM is the last major piece left. Edited December 17, 2021 by Jaimito 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if there was someone working under Gear that is doing this for us right now? I'd like to see two more AGMs, one focused on cap issues and another on amateur scouting, to give the next GM the best chance at info gathering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Good position, he's not ready to be a President or GM just yet, Rutherford will groom him and hopefully find us a savvy, well respected and experienced GM who will have to get to work right away to patch up this defence which is half AHLers. I wonder what their plan for the Sedins would be, I'd be thinking more Presidential roles in the future rather than a GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrchief Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 A cap guy and an analytics guy for the AGM role. Preferably a younger GM since we got a lot of experience around him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Jon Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Do you realize how old Stan Smyl is? There is no grooming going on. This role is a gift to Stan for his dedication to the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see this also, it would allow the Sedins to slowly learn the business side of the NHL and truly see if that is something they want to dive into full time and all the fun and stress that new role will bring like being Co Presidents of Hockey Ops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Rutherford working with Smyl and Smyl eventually taking over as president makes more sense than Smyl taking over as GM imo. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
