What the Pegula's need to do is Hire a President of Hockey Ops, then a VP of Hockey Ops, then a GM. They need layers. Experienced Hockey people at the top.
The Pegulas and a GM just doesn't seem to be working. They should give the President the final say on hockey matters.

Ppl keep saying this
Has it worked for the Leafs?
Even if LaFontaine was still here,
whoever the GM is would be making all the personnel decisions
The administrative role a “Pres of Hockey Ops” would not have had us trading for Haula instead of signing MoJo, or drafting Chychrun instead of Nylander, etc etc
Maybe they’d have a say in something big,
like the Skinner signing
But i doubt much else would be been different
Shanahan isn’t making the trades for the a leafs,
is he??
