I suspect Garth Snow's decision will come down to his working relationship with the younger players, their progression and Mark Streit-Brendan Witt.
Impossible to get a read on the Gordon-Snow working relationship and if it has become what Buffalo-Nashville have had in their front offices, I suspect a tough year on the ice is a tough year everywhere.
Only upper management knows how long general manager Garth Snow's contract runs, it's not impossible Charles Wang makes a change in that department if he has questions of Snow's direction or it's a contract question but that is a financial burden.
The owner has said virtually nothing about the hockey team on the ice, last year he made his comments on the hockey team around this time and made a mistake telling the public the prospects proved then-coach Ted Nolan wrong when that needed to be kept as in-house as management contracts.
Not writing anything will happen but nothing would shock me on that front.





What? are you kidding me?
ReplyDeleteWe finally have a direction that everyone is agreeing on and you want to throw a monkey wrench in the gears? No-f-ing-way!
Dee,
ReplyDeleteI did not claim anything, I simply wrote it's possible the gm or the owner may want to make a change at coach or general manager.
When you finish 30th nothing is going in the right direction until it actually happens on the ice.
I suspect Charles was briefed that this would be a possibility as part of a rebuild before he signed off on it.
ReplyDeleteThe almost 600 man-games lost has to buy a GM at least another year.
The progress of the young players (and the team overall) the last couple of months shows things moving in the right direction.
I think Garth is safe for a little while.
