But it comes down to BT being the guy making the hockey decisions. If you can't give him that - he's not the right guy and he's probably not going to accept less autonomy.
Well that’s my point. A President of Hockey Ops to oversee Treliving and the rest of hockey operations. I don’t know if it redefines any role per se, and it’s certainly a shot across the bow for the GM. If he doesn’t want to accept less autonomy, well he has options. Dubas seems to be the guy making trades in Toronto but I’m pretty sure Shanahan not just in charge of the accounting department.
