If Katz was serious he would have looked for an assistant GM with a strong drafting pedigree instead of hiring a inexperienced Mac-T.
There will be no changes in that management team, they're embeded in that organization like a termite nest in a wall.
The guy that's going to go to please the fans is Eakins, and I doubt that any coach will line up to work in that environment unless they get a massive term massive dollar contract.

Nobody is saying " that Gretzky is some kind of managerial savoir or even a coaching savoir." It would just be cool if some outside source with standing went off on them.
