Nancouver Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Love that she was an agent for a bunch of French Canadian players as this is a weakness we’ve had since burr! How can you have a stanley cup contender without a frenchie on the team?!! Maybe we can swindle the rags and pry laffy from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where the best person for the job gets the job, full stop. Male, female or white, black, orange, green, blue or purple... none of that makes any difference to an individual's abilities. If somebody is 'the best person for the job', they are 'the best person for the job'. The end. From what I hear and read, this is a good person for the job. So welcome aboard! Personally, I think we should still discriminate against orange people. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undrafted Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I'm genuinely excited by this hire. I think Rutherford's tapping into an overlooked front-office talent pool, much like DET did with European UFAs back in the early 90s. Being among the first means you get the cream of the crop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did she accidentally slip that info out, would think it’s the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but seriously, I absolutely love what she's saying. She sounds very knowledgeable and passionate. I do honestly believe she will be a massive asset to this organization. Well done JR, I'm so incredibly pumped on the moves he has made so far. Agree.... All hail 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the part that likely was hinting at more than just experience...sounds like a bit more going on here. She doesn't own that history, wipe the slate clean and judge her by her actions, not those of others before her. Well I keep reading her experience and there’s not much to read, so could you please point out what makes her qualified to be an assistant GM in the NHL. Or is it just to get ahead of the curve, so they hire a young woman instead of an experienced and tenured man.. I have no problem with a woman in the role, as long as it’s deserved and not forced 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad William Campbell passed away a number of years ago. Would've been cool to have 'Star Trek' have another version of the multiverse with both "Q" and "Trelane" in the same movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's got a better resume than Chris Gear did and no one questioned his qualifications. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked great!! Where has that left us? Well you can say this about literally any hire, so why did you comment "hope this isn't a woke moment" instead of just going with this comment? Lol. Cause you wanted to imply she got the job because she's a woman. Just admit it. It's fine. We'll think less of you for it. But it's good to be honest. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJockitch Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) I like to see that we are bringing in a group and creating a lot of different view points. JR is rebuilding the entire team structure. Hope it keeps tricking down through player development. Do Hockey teams have a scouting department for scouts and management? Do they depend on head hunters? Do they just work it through the old boys network? Genuinely curious. Or, is it just the Rolodex that JR has built over the decades of work?
