That’s only after Lou finishes and he pulls his zipper up.

Love how that guy is supposedly “still part of the organization” and he has been completely silenced. Hysterical.

Just like Kevin Lowe in Edmonton. Both Lowe and Snow have been kicked to the curb. They're there but not really.

They know Snow is a PR nightmare. Stick him in the corner and let his contract run out.

Wang should be punched in the face for giving Snow that contract.

Paper clips may be too much responsibility for Snow. Its probably carpet lint.

He did everything in his power to make sure everything he wanted remained after he became minority owner. Real douche move.

What’s funny is some of the things he did were brilliant (mayfield and Pelech signings come to mind, signing Boychuk and Leddy on the same day to share up the D and drafting a bunch of our core guys, some in later rounds) but then there’s the inferiority complex to hire a competent coach and draft picks like MDC and Nino among many other things.

He was into those low budget, long length, kind of high risk contracts. Pelech looked awful his first couple years. Like really awful now the guy is our top defenseman. Not sure if that was luck or actually seeing talent in him in all honesty. Also, probably had to do with us having to sign drafted players and hope for the best because nobody wanted to play for the disaster that was Snow and Capuano and let’s not mince words it was a (frank)ing disaster.

His biggest fault was what you mentioned at the end there. Not putting a competent coaching staff in place due to his fragile ego and insecurities. The guy is/was a bit of a nut job obviously. Everyone knew no matter what players we had we weren’t going to do much of anything with Capuano and or Weight. His drafting was just as whacked out as he was couldn’t hit on top ten picks but drafted some gems.

Unfortunately it's not that uncommon in high level contracts. It kills me that Snow is making that much money, but he has no power. They likely gave him a menial job which he has to perform or he will be fired for cause and lose the rest of his money.

I’m sure wang incorporated some BS into his contract to make sure Snow wouldn’t be put in that position if he was demoted.
