Don't make him GM, if you want to hire him and groom him as a GM fine, but make him learn the ropes and earn it first. I don't care who you are (look at Yzerman).

Eventually logic would tell us he will end up in the Avalanche organization in one capacity or another...eventually...

Yzerman wont take a job until after the Olympics. His full time job is watching games and Canadians for the Olympics. You can try to get maybe Scott Stevens to groom in as a GM, or the best option for a GM out there is Joe Nieuwendyk.

You totally misunderstood my comment, I wasn't suggesting making Yzerman the GM of the Av's! HAHA

I said look at how he is gaining experience working under Holland and as Team Canada's GM, do that with Roy maybe, but do not automatically appoint him to GM.

The State of Colorado has a hiring freeze. Sorry Patty, your time here is up.

Take the job with the Avalance Patrick. It will be the only real chance either of your kids has to play in the NHL. Seeing as their skills (or lack thereof) won't be enough.

Then get Claude Lemieux as ass't GM and AVs can remain in the cellar.

They aren't talking to Roy about the GM role, that I can all but guarantee you. This is about coaching, likely as head coach, but it wouldn't surprise me to see him as an assistant either. I don't think an outside GM will be hired.

Pierre Lacroix doesn't let anything leak out to the media. By allowing this to come out, I can only speculate that something is imminent. I fully expect an announcement in the coming days that Craig Billington and/or Michel Goulet will serve as GM (likely co-GM's, I would guess) under the "new management structure", Patrick Roy is the new coach, and Tony Granato has been reassigned in the organization (maybe VP of player development, which will be vacated by Billington). That's all a guess, but I have a feeling that it won't be too far off.

maybe he could teach avs goalies how to stop the puck before it goes into the net behind them!

Coaching or managing a team in the junior ranks doesn't compare with the pro level. He should learn the ropes before taking either jobs at Colorado. And one could make the case that he doesn't have the temperament for them.

No, I think he spotted Mario Trembley in the crowd.

lol! Or his kid for being a lame fighter!
BTW, bgm, what's up with those Canes? Tougher than we thought initially? Bruins in 7 - the real test for a young team.

Yeah! My 1000th post! Sorry....
