1) Keep Rivera, find a new GM, 2013 another tryout forRivera.

2) Fire Rivera, find new GM and possibly miss out on top coaching candidates due to the time it takes to hire a GM.

3) Fire Rivera, hire one coach/GM to take full control of the team.

Which do you go with?

Id have to know who we would be replacing Rivera with first.

The think I really like about Rivera x's and o's wise is he is good a D but always isnt conservative on O. Although at times Chud can call dumb plays.

The question about Rivera is his personnel managing / motivating.

In there I love our schemes.

You have to go with 2. One thing you have to realize with the GM search is that they have been evaluating throughout the season. Ernie already knows who he plans on bringing in. They just got to get the interview process over in a timely fashion. Don't be surprise if the interviews gets going early.

Number 2 - I dont believe hiring a gm is going to take more than a few days after Monday - the top candidates for head coach arent going to be falling into our laps anyway - theyre going to go to the glamor jobs.

I'll add that it took Mr. Scot maybe an afternoon to put together a good list of candidates along with a short bio and some analysis on each one. And he's not even an NFL insider. If he can do that, then what has Accorsi been doing all this time?

I don't like gambling, but I think banking on them having a top three list is a safe bet.

In the NFL the ' glamour' jobs are the ones that are open.

But I agree that it won't take long to get the new GM so option 2 is my vote.

    • Florida is the only team that would be doing that to us, and it happens when we are down Chatty, Walker isn't 100% and our top players are being molested in plain view on the ice. Florida is bigger and just as fast as we are, they have the two biggest agitating arseholes in the NHL in Marchand and Tkachuk, have a solid coach and a lot of nice pieces that make that team the best in the East by a good margin this year and possibly back to back Cup champions.  I fail to mention Zito who has been aggressive in getting Marchand and Seth Jones plus other players at the deadline to fill in any weaknesses. We have taken the long term, we have a shot every year approach and keep coming up short.  This is the summer to come away with the last needed pieces and if that takes sacrificing some prospects and picks we have to do it.  We have Freddie who is a very good goalie, but I still think young Kooch needs more time - he shows flashes but he still isn't right between the ears yet. This is definitely it for Orlov, not sure about Burns although he has looked it the last half of the season.  It would be nice to be able to get rid of KK somehow.  Svech has never become the guy I thought he'd be so a pure scorer would be nice.  I still like where this organization is EVEN with RBA coaching.  Do we discredit everything the guy has done in years where we weren't supposed to make the playoffs let alone win some series etc??  We need a bit more size, but I like we added Walker, Carrier, and Robinson who all had some good experience and didn't mind showing some grit.  Who's Back:    Forwards:  Aho, Svech, Jarvy, Blake, Hall, Carrier, Staal, Marty, Stankoven (need to sign to a bridge at least), KK  (really need to trade him this summer or next year for sure, his NMC kicks in 26-27) Defensemen:  Slavin, Walker, Chatty, Ghost, Nikishin, Morrow Goalies:  Freddy, Koochy Potential: Forwards:   Nadeau (he was like a -20 in Chicago so he'll have to really earn Rod's trust), Robidas, FUS didn't have a great season, Bring back Roslovic?, Jost for cheap?? Defensemen:  Technically Nikishin and Morrow, but I have them replacing Orlov and Burns above, Honka, Probably will sign one who plays good D and doesn't break the bank Goalies:  Khazheyev?, Sign one possibly?? tl;dr:  Bottom line is we are definitely going to need to sign a Defenseman or two, and 2-3 Forwards with 2 being scorers and hopefully taller than 6'0".  We have really good depth at forward, we are thinning out at D, and our goalies.....I am just not sure.
    • You never really know when a team is going to turn a corner and make a deep playoff run.  I say take a swing, this could be like Tillman in 2015
    • Have they said when the Blueprint Draft episode is going to be released? Kinda weird to put out the teaser but not a date for it, already itching to watch all the T-Mac stuff
