I have less confidence in the front office, including BT and most specifically pro scouting. I have more confidence in the amateur scouting.
I have less confidence in the core players. Way less confidence. But I've felt that way a long time, longer the most (this isn't a pat on the back, I think most here know that I was advocating for changes to the core quite a ways back). But even then the fall of some of the players is stunning to me. I wasn't big on the forward group but I didn't imagine they would fall THIS much.

But back to the question, I have less confidence in BT but not to the point that I would fire him absent a clearly better option. I would rather see how he handles the off-season.

And I suspect the ownership also has less confidence.

But again that's a different point. In these fluid conversations it's important to remember what I was disagreeing with which was that Sutter's hiring is a signal of that reduced confidence.

I don't see it that way.
