Example #1 why you let hockey guys make hockey decisions and ownership types should stay far away.....but glad that he is in Toronto now.
Quote:
When Dean Lombardi was about to hire Darryl Sutter as coach of the Los Angeles Kings, he did what all general managers must do.
He went to his boss and informed him of the move he was prepared to make.
The conversation didn’t go well.
Lombardi was told in no uncertain terms that hiring Sutter wasn’t the right move, may be “the worst decision you’ve ever made” and speculated it “will end up costing you your job.”

And the boss who doubted Lombardi’s wisdom? His name: Tim Leiweke.
