Cassie Campbell will be the first ever female GM. She will replace Feaster.

She can't even get a job with a team washing their balls.

You really got me thinking as she came to mind along with that man that played for Canadian all those years and Ferraro's wife. They all are very well respected, but how come they can't get any sort of meaningful job with a team?

Is there even a female GM in Junior hockey?

You know it's really all about the penis. It has magically powers. Doesn't even have to be big, just as long as you have one you have a shot at success. Just ask that asian guy in hangover.

Look up small penis on howard stern. I laughed my (frank)ing ass off.

I'm sure there are numerous people on these boards who are capable of being decent GMs... I'm not saying it's an easy job, but I think LB is overrating how difficult it is. If we were former players, perhaps we'd know what it takes. Good Ol' Boy Network FTW!

no, no.

if you're involved in the game, you're a demi god. above and beyond reproach and completely infallible.
mike milbury is a fukin genius btw. howsons killing it too. hockey iq of 180. tambellini has 3 consecutive first overalls on his resume!!

The problem is while those guys are bad how many times have we read "trade him now, he's sucked for 4 games, take a bag of pucks for him". By season end we'd just have 23 bags of pucks playing for the Oil.

My whole point is everyone here figures it's so easy to snap their fingers to get who they want. They don't figure in dealing with agents, then adding to that trying to fit people inunder a budget, then trying to get chemistry,. I have no idea how hard it is so I don't say jack about it.
For example lets use the Heatly trade to Edmonton as an example. You haggle with the opposing G.M. for weeks to come down to a trade in principle. You don't let your players know until it's finalized because you never know what is going to happen, then it comes out in the media wether thru the Agent or thru the other G.M. and it still falls apart because the player you were trying to trade for has a NT and he used it not to come to Edmonton. Now your dealing with telling your players that we tried to trade you but it didn't go down. then have to deal with the fall out for that.

Or go back in history a bit when Coffey was here his agent convinced him to hold out for more money or get traded.
There is more to being a G.M. than looking at the free agent list and whining that you want this player or that player or whining that a player we wanted to trade for got traded to another team.
Half of being a G.M. as you say is being in the old boys club, look at Mcguire or Maclean, yes they made mistakes but they are on the outside looking in. It's the relationships you build while playing is what gets you in. Look at Yserman then at Messier, Yserman was a bit more mellow and more friendly with other teams and players and Messier more intense and a jerk to others. Now Yserman is a G.M. and Messier is still wanting to be one.
I have never once thought it was an easy job, nor is it easy to get in. But there is more to resigning players and getting trades or free agents signed than some will give them credit for.

(frank) LB this is way too long. Also Yzerman.

Although you do have a point to some degree. But there have been things ST could've done better, I just don't think that was the plan until this year. But we got shafted when the smaller markets signed UFA's this year thus making some over priced guys not available from bigger markets.

one of the best posts ive ever seen from you. and fairly calm too.

i can agree with some of this for sure.
but even when it was mentioned that tambs shouldve went after roszival or _____(insert name here), the competent poster generally gives an out as to why it may have not went down. ie; money, term, player wants etc.
but its also plausible that he chose to not rock the boat. hes said this exact thing.

and it's hardly even arguable that tambs is a very apprehensive gm. he really hasnt done anything big outside of drafting high. (schultz chose US. not the other way around. everyone wanted him)
who knows, maybe that'll be the prudent move long term. but he certainly couldve done more in the last year or 2 to improve us.
i believe that a lottery pick this year is a disaster. and with the additions we've made, no one can argue thats out of the question.

he certainly couldve done more. maybe not a whole lot, but something

no, no.

And yet your still whining about his job. Do you know who the G.M. of Pittsburg was when they got Malkin, Crosby, Fleurey(spelling), Stall, etc..........?
Craig Patrick still one of the most respected G.M.s in NHL history.
Do you really think everyone in the NHL is an idiot and your a genious that could do the job?............. Keep your day job. The NHL doesn't care if they win if they turn the team into something special. Tambo may get fired before the Oilers get to be contenders that is the way of life, Patrick did, so did several other G.M.s like the Quebec G.M. when they had 3 firsts overall.

who? tambs? i dont understand the first reference here.
so patrick got a bunch of firsts, got axed, but he deserves all the credit for malkin and crosby?....maybe thats true depending on how u look at it. but i dont fully understand what you're trying to say.

as i said, maybe standing pat will be the prudent move long term. but many teams have been able to rebuild while remaining relevant. or at least able to add pieces to said high pick to accelerate the turnaround.

it turned out beautifully for pitts, but just to copy the perenial losing mode for high picks is pretty weak.

what if we go through all this bottom feeding nonsense, and then our team fails miserably and never really puts it together? imo that'll be worse than the last decade where we struggle every year, but at least were competetive. (it is nice to have hope though)
dont kid yourself that its not entirely possible

Now I ask you a question. Look at the Edmonton Oilers for every year since Tambellinni has taken over. isn't this the first year the team hasn't been turned over by at least 25%? Can you say that this is an apprehensive gm? Yes he is slow from the looks of it but if he is looking at it from every scenerio over a long period of time then he would be prudent. You cannot build team chemistry and trust by turning over your roster by 25% every year. The moment they stop turning over the roster so much is a sign that the team is getting better.

who? tambs? i dont understand the first reference here.

everythings so black and white with u.
who said 25%?
i certainly dont want a quarter of our nhl roster changed all at once. i mentioned adding one solid defenceman to a relatively weak, or unproven group.

of course he got rid of the moreaus, staios' pisanis etc. the first year.
we decided on a rebuild. thats what one does.
gets rid of the deadweight, or old guard, and starts over.

you seem so mystified by these obvious moves
