seems to be.

appears he was already hired before choosing Trotz

Interesting GM hire (but I like the Caps hire of Trotz as coach)

me too. (I trust in the Lord to deliver us the coach we need) he will be perfect for a ego case like Ovie

I had a feeling they'd promote the assistant GM to be the GM - they weren't really naming other names as candidates for GM - and Barry Trotz is a good hire - now the new GM needs to bring him some better players

theres this former 30 goal scored named David Booth that would be perfect there. I mean their arena is named after a phone. and his name is booth and a phone used to be in a booth (Although I dont think they are anymore) and did I mention he scored 30 goals once?

well McPhee was GM for 17 years so techincally this is a fresh start from Leonsis's point of view

I think new GM MacLellan should do his former team a solid and send John Carlson to the Flames for Dennis Wideman.

Normally, that kind of harshness is reserved for Flames hires/transactions (lol)

He'll need some protection. Jared Boll AND RJ Umberger can be had for the low, low price of Jason Chimera.

Damn.

This too:

Maybe his controller was just disconnected.

Brian MacLellan was part of the '89 Stanley Cup champion Flames, so he knows a thing or two about winning.

He can trade rosters with Lowe.

I don't really understand this decision, although I guess just b/c he was the Ass't GM before doesn't mean that he agreed with GMGM's decisions...

but .

Leonsis needs to get out of his box a little with these decisions. Too much loyalty.

He'll need to get in line, half the teams in the league want to trade rosters with Kevin Lowe.
