Rumor: Tim Graham “Sources He has are strongly hinting this is the end for Kevyn Adams”

Terry: “Hey Kevvie, I have an extremely important mission for you. I’m sorry it will take you away from your playing GM tasks, but there’s reports there are leaks in the roof of the arena. You must figure out the scope of this issue and report back to me. I’m looking at you to take the lead here, alright buddy? Now go.”

“I always felt that if he wasn’t GM he’s going to another role” 

 

“nvm”

 

Hate to say it, but let’s hope they drop the Vancouver and Kraken games. It’s for the greater good. Winning both would ultimately be bad for the long term health of the team. 

Let Lindy keep going after him publicly. Win or lose, somebody in the org needs to start screaming publicly that the call is coming from inside the house.

Terry: Hey Kevin...go get your f***ing shine box

If Adams is replaced as GM he simply cannot be promoted to another position in Hockey Operations.  That would create problems, factions, and confusion.  

He could possibly go back to Business Admin, or back to Harbor Center, but even that is awkward.  

If KA is removed from the GM position, it’s unlikely he will have any meaningful influence on hockey decisions. Even if he was given the title of POHO, it will carry little influence in the hockey side of the business. 
 

For the sake of argument, let’s assume Jarmo takes over the GM job. If Jarmo wants to make a trade and KA disagrees in his POHO role, KA would be ignored.

This is what I get for posting on my phone and talking to it and allowing it to use voice recognition. 

I meant to say that his position is NOT higher up in the the hockey organization... But it came out that it is higher up in the organization. 

My post was to say I'm okay with him not getting fired as long as he's on the business side of things and not having input into hockey anymore.

On a side note, I really don't know how people live off of their phones. Not only does voice recognition not work, but I'm posting this on my phone now and every time I have to make a correction I could swear I'm touching one letter on the virtual keyboard but yet it's registering as the letter next to it. 

I so much prefer a full size monitor and a regular keyboard to using a phone or a tablet.

Has this happened?  Either directly or indirectly?  I think I missed this.

KA can move in FLA Pegula compound to take care of palm trees & also avoid state taxes….he can continue to talk w TP (on Palm tree status) every day.

I can't agree. What you just described is the opposite of how it works.   

If Adams is POHO with no influence on hockey operations then he is not a POHO and should not be given the title.   Adams has enough self respect to not take a figurehead job.  Pegula would not do that to him either.  

This is a business, its hockey business, and personal feelings are not the first priority in any sports business world.  Executives get paid a lot, they work in a cut throat environment, POHO/GM is a results oriented job, and they get fired when their time is up.

Lindy has made side eye comments about 3 G, et… implicating KA & his total inability to make a decision.
