I think the fact that the day after your franchise player gets traded, it's your President, as opposed to your GM, doing the media circuit is proof that there's more influence going on from up top in this organization than one would hope for. I mean, can anyone here name the President of the Detroit Red Wings of the top of their heads? Yeah, didn't think so. I certainly haven't heard him on a national talk show.
The best run organizations in the league have a solid executive structure, and stick to it. Our structure seems to be constantly negotiable. This organization is dying for a leader to come in, and kick some asses into place....and keep them there.
