Thanks, I knew he was president of the Blues, just wasn't sure what his exec. resume was before that, if anything. Obviously you can spin things in various ways, but to me it looks like we are frigging ourselves over an executive who in 6 seasons, failed to make the playoffs 4 times, qualified twice and won 1 round....................

I get it the Blues look poised to potentially be better, although failed to take a step forward this year with a first round loss, but I'm not sure I get what all the JD hoopla is about. What has he really accomplished? We certainly ran D.Sutter out of town for less as far as result go.
