Allowing a toad like JD to have the deciding voice on who will guide the franchise for the next decade or so instead of paying him a year of pay would be simply idiotic. Which is what this ownership group apparently is.Pfft you think this team will pay for 3 coaches, a fired GM and a fired president? .

JD is a flipping joke. Keeping him on and allowing him to set the course for the next decade is a disgrace.
The universe of possible decision makers is not limited to JD and Mike Priest. You know that, too.We've covered this before, you know it too. If you take JD out of it then Mike Priest is the one deciding on the next GM and we're not that dumb.

The owner, of course.Yeah and who do you suggest is going to hire that decision maker?
20+ years of sucking, at this point all that's known is the Blue Jackets will make the wrong choice. Stop giving contracts to people who are unqualified and then you don't have to worry about having to continue to pay them.Pfft you think this team will pay for 3 coaches, a fired GM and a fired president? .
But Boone....Leadership..... blah blah blah.Tonight showed where this franchise really is. It's a basement dweller and a healthy Laine, Fantilli and KJ don't move the meter that much. This team is horrible.
Other than Fantilli, there's not a single player on this team who should be considered untouchable.
The owner, of course.
The last time a McConnell hired our GM we got stuck with Doug Maclean.
I would rather JD pick.

Someday, we'll be an NHL team.
but not today.
I would prefer an independent firm be brought in to lay out which teams have been successful at developing a culture we would like to emulate (Boston, etc.) and identify people who have worked in those front offices who are potential GMs.
What is Patrice Bergeron doing?
Let him take his lumps against MacKinnon and Rantanen. He's got to learn sometime. Might as well make it this season and not when, in theory,.you're competing.
There's a difference between taking your lumps and being embarrassed and having your confidence broken.What in the absolute **** is being accomplished?
Why are we flying around Jiricek to sit in the press box to watch Christiansen, Bean, etc.? Let him take his lumps against MacKinnon and Rantanen. He's got to learn sometime. Might as well make it this season and not when, in theory,.you're competing.
Why is Voronkov getting yanked around playing 11-12 minutes a night while Jenner plays 22 basically every game?
Either Vincent is a moron or he's being mandated to do so by people above him in the organization.
Sure, that's what gifted the league Peter Chiarelli and Jim Benning, both out of the Boston front office. Also now the two most reviled ex GMs in recent memory.
Can I at least get you to admit that this isn't easy?
I agree with that for the explicit reason I don't want to rely solely on JD's crony network again.It isn’t easy. It is incredibly difficult - you are looking for a person who can outmaneuver 31 other people to build a championship team.
But I would prefer an independent search firm to get involved than letting JD do it on his own. Hiring a chief executive is different than a normal HR function. Worthington Industries would bring in outside help if they were hiring a chief executive. I expect the same for the Jackets, especially given the last 3 years of dysfunction.
