[Greg Wyshynski, Lower Broad Hockey] La perception autour de la ligue de Barry Trotz est qu’il ne sait pas ce qu’il fait. Cela m’est venu de la part d’un certain nombre de dirigeants de la ligue.

I love Barry Trotz to death, but that’s the impression I get. I think he’s a done a good job loading us up with quality prospects, but I’m not sure he’s up the task of managing an NHL roster. I think the contract/trade stuff is a bit beyond his depth.
No doubt! He’s been winging it ever since he took over the GM role. He thought we’d be legit contenders with Sissons & Novak as two of our top three centermen…
Part of a larger interview about the outside perception of Nashville. Other « insights » and educated guesses from Wyshnynski about the GM hunt:
Nashville will probably hire a new GM from outside the organization who has been a NHL GM before.
The most interesting name that he’s heard is Kevin Adams, the former Buffalo GM.
He would expect that Brunette keeps his job for one more year to avoid too much change all at once.
It’s the real reason why he is stepping down IMO.
Martin over Martone and Hagens is going to irk me in the future, isn’t it?
Correct, and unfortunately at this point the team is only a year or two away from the youth starting to take over and carry this team north again, before we’ve actually got anything even close to a Celebrini out of the draft, so unless the new guy does the painful thing and trades off guys we dont want to trade off and starts a real rebuild, or a couple of our prospects randomly pop off like weve never seen before (super unlikely), we are already on the rails back toward the perennial mushy middle « make the playoffs and lose in the first two rounds » for the foreseeable future
