I think the GM position depends a lot on who you surround yourself with. Sure, the GM probably got the "final word", but I would say that most decisions are taken based on recommendations from your scouting staff, assistant GM and the likes.

I agree. A great supporting cast is just as important as the man making the final call.

Kate Beckinsale could be suggesting Botterill, but the problem then becomes:

Jennifer Botterill isn't hot.

Now if Kate Beckinsale would be GM..... people would still laugh but I'm sure she'd be excellent at convincing UFA's to sign here.....

Very true, but irrelevant to the discussion we were having about the habs being the laughing stock of the league if they had a women GM.

They currently are the laughingstock of the league anyway.

One of my biggest concerns about the next GM isn't so much about who it is, but who they bring in with them.

Exactly.

If little to nothing changes but the GM himself, it's pretty much a failure in the making.

The Blue Jackets might have something to say about that.

Yup the front office has several issues to fill... with no management cap there is no reason the Habs can't have a top notch organization.

Meh.... I think it's more about making things right.

I like what Mr. Molson is trying to do. Hopefully he succeeds.
