There are rumblings here in Atlanta that long time Atlanta Thrashers GM Don Waddell will be asked to step down as GM and accept another front office position in the organization by various members of the Thrashers ownership group. I hope so. In nine years Waddell's Thrashers have made the playoffs once, last year, and that was an unmitigated disaster as the Thrashers were swept in four straight games by the NY Rangers. Marian Hossa saw the handwriting on the wall, so to speak, in that he believed this franchise was headed nowhere fast, the reason it's widely believed this talented two way player would not sign an extension to play for the Thrashers, his refusal forcing Waddell to trade Hossa to the Pittsburgh Penguins for two younger, developing players in order to get something back for Hossa now...rather than risk getting nothing back later for Hossa after the winger became an unrestricted free agent. The Atlanta Thrashers started this past season 0-6, which led to coach Bob Hartley's ouster. IMO Don Waddell should also have been shown the door. This guy has been a miserable cheapskate his entire tenure here in Atlanta as the Thrashers GM, a graduate, it would appear, of the Billy Knight School For Ineptitude And Inaction In Personnel Management. <_< |
