3 Choices

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.

    • Uggh forgot about that
    • I am curious to see if Warren is the elite player that the Huddle Warren stans believe. I am always fairly wary of these first round TE's.
    • The Rossi things isn't going away, either... https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3312416/unfinished-business-7-players-to-watch-in-back-half-of-nhl-offseason The Wild and Rossi shouldn't be having any trouble hammering out an extension. Rossi, an RFA turning 24 in September, recorded the second-most points on the team last season (60 in 82 games). The smart, skilled, highly competitive 5-foot-9 Austrian is a homegrown top-six center. Minnesota has $10 million in cap space and no other significant spots to fill to finalize its 2025-26 roster. Problems lurk below the surface, however. Coach John Hynes demoted Rossi to the fourth line in the playoffs, dropping his nightly usage from 18 minutes in the regular season to 11 in the first-round series loss to Vegas. GM Bill Guerin's top to-do list item at the moment is to lock up Kirill Kaprizov. The superstar winger, who's been eligible for an extension since July 1, is due for Leon Draisaitl-type money (around $14 million average annual value) starting in 2026-27. Guerin has said there's no rush to sign, trade, or match an offer sheet for Rossi. If he stays, a short-term extension makes sense, since it gives both player and team flexibility. If he leaves, a trade is far more likely than an offer sheet. Half of the league could use a second-line center, and Rossi still has upside. The Hurricanes desperately need to upgrade at 2C (Jesperi Kotkaniemi isn't going to cut it) and have plenty of cap space. Ditto for the Sabres, who picked Jack Quinn one spot before Rossi went to the Wild in the 2020 draft. Mammoth bench boss Andre Tourigny coached Rossi in junior, and they don't have as much wiggle room, but trading top-six winger Nick Schmaltz (plus a pick) could make the math work. Guerin wants to make a so-called "hockey trade" here.
