That right there is the sign that the guy is either batcrap crazy or has no idea what hes doing.
Good comment. I often think about how little we know about the stuff running in the background of the professional hockey business. Little friendships, going-back-together, returned favours, unrelated bad memories and grievances, promises etc. It is likely even more significant for the former NHL hockey players stepping into the GM roles. To me, it seems a lot more logical to select GM's from successful scouts with good track record than from formerly successful players.
