How About Pierre McGuire For Avs GM?

from Adrian Dater of All Things Avs,
Pierre McGuire is making some real nice coin as the color analyst with TSN and NBC, not to mention a freelance gig with Sports Illustrated. But he would also give his left you know what to get back in a management position in the NHL.
And, if I were Pierre Lacroix, I would give McGuire a good, hard look for the Avs GM job. After all - can you name me anyone who has seen more NHL games in the last few years than McGuire has most likely? Can you name me a person who has has a more varied menu of personnel he’s spoken to in the last few years - among players and coaches and everybody else in hockey? It’s part of his job description to talk to everybody in the game, and I think it would be smart for any team to consider him.

Is this instead of or in addition to the talk of Patrick Roy for coach (or at least assistant coach)?
It would certainly be an interesting team dynamic.

Hey Barry Melrose worked out great for Tampa Bay last year. I can see nothing wrong with this idea. It sounds flawless.

Doesn’t Colorado already blow enough without the added wind-aid they’d receive from the Douche Canoe?

Yeah, firing Melrose was absolutely what was needed in Tampa. Look at how well they played under Rick Tocchet!

Because that worked SO well for Matt Millen…

“and I think it would be smart for any team to consider him.”
Then I guess every team for the past 15+ years has been run by idiots since nobody has given him a shot.

From a Wings fan’s perspective, this is the best thing that could happen to the Avs. That should tell you everything.

Osrt, don’t worry. It’s got a 0% chance of happening ; )
