It's a team effort up there as well in the front office.

So you need somebody who can delegate, who's not afraid to hand off tasks that maybe somebody else is a little better equipped at.

But again, obviously, you need somebody who is in the scouting, rebuilding, who's been through that right now, somebody who's done it before,

preferably from the ground up because you're not coming in here and we're just looking at somebody who can kind of get this team the last little bit over to become a stanley cup contender no like we need to re-revamp just about everything uh from top to bottom like when when a team an organization goes through what has gone through here over the last couple years from

We could potentially see ourselves as a Stanley Cup contender three, four years ago.

Maybe down the line, we had a couple of players to this core we have and we're right there teetering.

And then it just blew up.

So I think it's fair to say that you need some new fresh faces in just about every position now to come in and take a new whack at this.

The coach is getting fired?

Not if he can make them better.

That's the main thing here.

If Foote is the guy who can turn these two first-rounders you're drafting here in a couple of months, preferably the second-rounders as well, into legitimate hockey players, one of them into a difference maker, then you can say he's well worth keeping him.

Can he continue and develop the players that are on the roster now?

Can he get more out of the veterans?

That's what you're looking at in him when you're evaluating him in terms of whether or not you're bringing him back or cutting him loose.

Because again, everybody gets evaluated and everybody gets evaluated based on what they bring to the table, whether it's a coach or scout, general manager or coach.

or you name it.

It's a performance-based industry, and then we're looking for results.

So if you're the scout and you're pointing at these players, but none of those players really turn out, well, maybe you need to look around for a different job.

Whereas if you're the one that are pegging these guys and all of a sudden they turn out to be players, then by all means.
