Re: Who Do U Want to See as Next GM of the Nucks?
Next phase is starting now with in person interviews. They will. be held by:
"It’s understood that alongside Rutherford in the interviews has been chairman Francesco Aquilini, which makes sense given the high affect the future of the franchise this hire will make, and also Dax Aquilini, Francesco’s nephew who has long been tapped as the future face of ownership."
Sure doesn't sound like he will be selling the team as Dax is getting ready to take control. What do we know about Dax? Will he replace JR?

What are ‘unperson’ interviews? Sounds like an Alien conspiracy.Hockey Widow wrote: ↑Sat May 02, 2026 12:45 pm Next phase is starting now with unperson interviews. They will. be held by:

I don’t care if they have Genghis Khan or Mother Teresa, just get someone who has a plan and can control the owners at least for a few years.

Pierre Dorion apparently interviewed last week.
As someone on X noted, every owner Dorian has been GM for has died during his tenure.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Our very own version of "Succession" then? Sure, I'm game if it means some blood gets spilled and Frankie gets sent off on a fishing boat in a lake. Would be more compelling than the product on the ice the next little bit.Hockey Widow wrote: ↑Sat May 02, 2026 12:45 pm Sure doesn't sound like he will be selling the team as Dax is getting ready to take control.

I'll take change in the face of ownership - just for the sake of change. All the more need for an anchor of stability, clout and competence in the POHO chair.

It's great to still have a place where you can straddle the Dorion Gray areas.

Re: Who Do U Want to See as Next GM of the Nucks?
As an interested party in hiring a new GM for Van, and the process, I just finished watching the Leaf's announcement of their new GM, Chayka - and Sundin as Advisor and holy fuck man, I thought Van's media were a bunch of fuckwads. But having to deal with that shit every day would be crazy!
Steve Simmons literally called Chayka a "Liar, Grifter, Cheat etc." right to his face. They all questioned Pelley's intelligence and actual "due diligence" - if you can stomach that side show, worth a listen.
Sad Sundin is going to get caught in that, I've always had a lot of respect for that guy. Chayka lacks any sort of moral character, and is going to burn that place to the ground.
Pass the popcorn!

Only long-suffering Nucks fans know how Wilde TFGs really are at destroying the franchise, then gaslighting everyone into thinking it's (certain) players fault...
Ok, I'll let you get back to The Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name...

Simmons has been tweeting about it for 2 days.
Should not have come as a surprise to the group on the podium.

How do you structure a contract that pays him more the sooner the "Dorian Effect" takes hold? Like, $5mil bonus til Christmas, dropping to $4 at the TDD, and down to $2mil if it takes til the 2027 off season?
The Cup is soooooo ours!!!!!!!
