HNIC used to have a certain "class" to it that's been chipped away over the years, and Ron was not an insignificant part of that prestige. Once he's gone it's the final step to it just being Sporstnet.
I don't think he's the right guy to lead a panel, but that was really never his job prior to Cherry's firing.

There are two reasons I don't like him
1. He sat there and let Cherry say hateful and ignorant things for many years and did nothing about it.
2. I read his auto-biography. First time the end result of reading someone's auto-biography was that I disliked him a lot more. But that's what happened.
