That Aud Smell

Is Krueger in Europe?

Maybe. I'm just saying they give off a similar vibe. So I can see a consistency there from the owners.

Terry doesn't believe in having a president of hockey ops.

It was a PR-coached word salad. Yeah - it's unflattering light too.

I'm gonna say: Watching Adams speak ... I can see him as being attractive to the Pegulas in a similar way as Beane was/is. Polished. Business casual buttoned up.

Blechk. Terry: The example is that we are looking forward enthusiastically to the future of the franchise. ... Kim: It's about results.

Hamilton, and now Graham are trying to get them to identify what the philosophical disconnect was with Botterill. No luck yet. Good for Graham. "Can you give us an example?"

They look like the trappings of an interesting dude.

Ha. I do think he'd be better at his job if he were to take a different tone - just too much assholery in there.

loved @john wawrow's setting.

Oops - found the thread.

@john wawrow with the first question, and a super interesting backdrop (indicative of an active mind!) Harrington with a flamethrower. Props.

Terry flubbed the start of the Zoom-conference; Kim gently corrected him.

it won't launch for me - what's he say?

You've got a new spring in your step there, young man. This made me LOL. And, really - that is just a bad photo of the new guy. That's the best they could do?

it may look awkward, but, say it out loud ... it just flows. another good one from @PASabreFan - our resident chris berman, practically. craig patrick?!

This bit from your post prompted me to think that the Kruegams tandem may - in the Pegulas' mind - be akin to the McBeane pairing.

deftly-turned.

Yeah. We're just gonna disagree on this one.

not sure who all these cats are, but it sounds like a Saturday night massacre of sorts!

Come off it, fellas. Take an L and move on.

Or for Adams to focus on certain aspects of the GM job, and RaKru to focus on others. Clarence, New York is "the bottom"? Where does the Skinner contract fit? (Is this Okposo's last year?) I feel like that would be part of the announcement, were it the case. But I do agree - it's a possible succession plan.

And Adams will slide back to the business side?
