Davidson used to have a home in the Invermere area. My Dad did an insurance claim for him there when I was a kid. Another highschool friend of mine had a Grand father who owned a lot of property and buildings in the Invermere/Radium area and he also knew John Davidson pretty well.
If Davidson is game, I'd have him in Calgary in a heartbeat to take over as President. Extermely well respected guy, and he oversaw some decent rebuilds in St.Louis, and Columbus. Even the Rangers have a good team, they got put in the deepest Division this year and of all the teams who'll miss the playoffs, they are the top team and likely would have been in any of the other three Divisions.
I hate the Rangers, but I have a lot of respect for JD, and think very highly of him.
Gorton, I'm not as sure of. Like a lot of guys he has some hits, but he also does have a lot of misses too. Overall I think he has that team going the right way. But it is a team who can sign a top player if they want to without too much trouble. Very few guys are refusing to play in MSG.
