Blah, I dislike this promotion of style over substance. How about just hiring a coach that deploys the talent in a way that will produce expected wins. Wins are what count not whether or not they're "big and obnoxious". Also I wish he'd drop the "my" speak... that terminology should be the province of the GM (whoever that ends up being) not the President of the Hockey Ops division. It's gonna be hard to get a quality hire if he's gonna be a huge meddler.

Or he's just giving you the headline on his opinion in the minimal time available to him (and general awareness of audience interest) when he speaks publicly, versus providing a full de-brief on his thesis around "Moneyball".
