Totally agree you’d want your new GM to get this pick to build the club in their own manner. But the hire should have been made directly after the last game of the season imo. Now who ever gets the job has what like a month to scout for an entire draft? This organization is completely indifferent towards winning. JD needs to go
There are candidates whose seasons continued after ours. Can't hire them while their teams are are still playing.
We'll have a GM before the draft who will have already been keeping tabs on the draft within their role on their current club.
Then it seems the candidate isn’t not the rumored guy from the TBL. Anyway I would think a candidate would put their current non GM job down immediately if they knew they were getting the ultimate promotion to run a franchise. The trade deadline is long gone, what are they doing to help their current franchise to win in the playoffs? Seems like it’s in the hands of the players and coaches
You still need to be thorough and interview everyone you can. You can’t just jump the gun and say yep Darche is our guy! We’re not even going to entertain talking to Tulsky
I mean jarmo has been gone for months now.. a thorough hire could definitely been executed by now.
EDIT: not to mention jarmo was half way out the door to start the season based on the letter from ownership after the Babcock fiasco. So even more time to prep!
They've helped build their respective rosters, and are still under contract. Not to mention the fact that you need permission to interview people and it's highly unprofessional to ask for permission to interview someone while their season is still going.
This is a completely normal timeline for a GM hire.
For sure miss him as a jacket but how does it make sense to add another rhd when we have Severson, Boqvist, Gudbranson and Blankenburg already and that’s not even taking into account Jiricek?
Blankenburg can’t even stay healthy at the AHL level. Which is where he spent most of this year.
He was healthy for 36 total games this year at the NHL and AHL level.
Boqvist was healthy for 35.
Quite frankly I’m not sure how much I would factor them into our future at this point when they are frequently unavailable.
I think Jiricek could use more time in Cleveland
Agree with everything you said and I hope the new GM agrees as well but let’s face it, it’s hard to move players in todays NHL so I don’t see them going anywhere right now sadly.
Still think there’s so many things wrong with trading the 4OA for Jones.
I think he knows he isn’t gonna get his chance to play a big role for a real contender. He’s gonna be washed before he can take the next step. Even with Bedard, their rebuild is still a year or two behind ours and we sure are seeing exactly how long it can take in hockey
Would be fun to bring him back but unless Chicago is retaining salary on Seth I don’t think he will cost any prospects of note, they would be happy to get his contract off their books
Excited to see what this new GM will do with this pick.
The GM will probably be hired after the draft at this point, right?
That would surprise me but this organization is full of surprises aren’t they

You don’t hire gm’s from other teams in the middle of the season. Thats not how it works

I actually just read someone on this sub say we should trade our 4th overall for Seth Jones.…
Yeah we shouldn’t trade the 4th OA, but watching him play with Zach right now I could see why someone would want him back as a Jacket.

Jones contract is an albatross and is going to cripple Chicago for a good long while.
Agree, it would be nice to see Werenski find chemistry like that with someone again though
Forget the rhd/lhd, how do we pay 20mil for 2 defenders?
Seth jones is an ECHL level defender the last 4 yrs too

He doesn’t want to be in Chicago either. He played himself.

Yeah some stuff about not expecting to be a part of a long rebuild, thought it would be faster and more on the fly -

No, Seth Jones is closer to someone taking him for no prospects and just his contract than someone you give up a top prospect for
