And there it is. The Kostkinen contract was agreed to by upper management. And of course Principe asks about how Conner took it.

This clown thinks the team is "just a few small tweaks away" from being an elite team

This is bizarre messaging:
The players are good enough. They have shown that they can win in this League and believe in themselves to be successful. There is nothing wrong with the roster that only a few minor adjustments can fix.
The General Manager who constructed this excellent roster that is only a few "tweaks" away needed to be fired in the middle of a game.
Wow.

If he is in, you trade probably Draisatl for assets to try and load up. Build properly through the draft and patiently develop.
If I were a fan, I'd rather have that hope than cut corners and likely at best end up in mediocrity. This of course is all dependent on purging the organization of rotten culture it has.
But - they probably won't purge, McDavid probably isn't that patient in his prime, so the likely result is a hasty retool with predictable results. Edmonton = No Good!

Listing to the presser, it appears this is the path. No Good!

So is Keith Gretzky the interim GM? Am I understanding this correctly? (can't listen to the whole thing... apparently Wednesday is a 'work' day)?

It's because when he looks in the water, he sees his reflection

These questions are largely good; blunt and to the point.
I hate it and worry it might actually penetrate their wall of stupidity.
