What about Fritterer?

What do all of you think Fritterer will do now? His position is far from safe so what does he need to do to save his job?

I don't see how he doesn't start finding deals to dump longterm cap and if not stockpile then at least recover lost picks. How that works with Wilks trying his bestest to not lose would be some interesting friction and the potential for a huge mistake can't be far away.

I know picks are far from guaranteed sucsesses but it is a volume game and right now we gave up way too much for for way too little over the past few years.

If he has more control, as in the more traditional role of a GM,  he's going to have to make decisions that lead to winning. 

Tepper sounded like he wasn't necessarily in love with the handling of the resources, specifically drawing the short stick in drafts because of overspending with draft capital (and perhaps real capital), leaving us ass-out on the draft picks--as in not having enough. So, I'd suspect that Fitt is a little more thoughtful and frugal in free agency. Looking at this past offseason, learning from past mistakes seemed like a priority. Well, it sounds like it's going to need to be even more of a priority to keep--err, make Tepper happy.

If Fitt wants to bring in Dan Quinn then I want him gone.

That would be a deal killer for me also. I was always expecting a washed up HC but I at least thought they would have had some success in the past as a HC...

I think he’s gone at end of season, and Dan Morgan will take over 

That's pure Panther fan thinking with no evidence to support it. Tepper has no more attachment to Morgan than he did to Newton.

It also ignores that Morgan came here to work with Fitterer. He considers Fitterer his scouting mentor.

Fitterer is definitely going to be under the microscope now that he doesn't have Rhule controlling everything.  In essence he's auditioning to keep his job in a more traditional roll and he's got to get this mess cleaned up before next season starts. After that it's going depend on how successful his clean up performs next season.

He'd be a safe pick that may end up getting canned in a few years once we prove to be mediocre across the board.

He deserves a chance to do the job of a GM without someone else telling him what he needs to accomplish.  You cannot put him fully at fault when it has become increasingly clear that Rhule held too much power over the organization.

Maybe he sinks, maybe he swims, but I think he needs a chance to do it as a real GM.

      When we have everyone playing like they should, we can win the Cup. That has been the biggest problem when we get to the playoffs, but this year seems to be fixed mostly. We could have had multiple if we had done this in the past.

      Here we go Bryce Stan’s you should love this. Hell it may be one of you.  It has every cliche excuse and then some.  Unintentionally hilarious my limit was reached when he said Bryce had it hard because four play callers.

      JJ & Luke, episode 8

      By csx · Posted

      Luke goes in to the specifics of what he looked to accomplish in joint practices.  Basically they may work with someone on the opposing team to stress something they feel is a weakness in their own game in a different way that can be done with someone they are familiar with. That they can have predetermined stresses but since neither wants to get injured and it has absolutely no bearing on anything there is not the level of concern that would be in a preseason game.  He would also even chat with opposing OC.   It seems like an interesting nuance among the vets and savy pros.
