McZ has had multiple jobs in this league, even IIHF commissioner now, so it looks like the league has no trouble in using McZ, but when it comes down to giving out some credit and maybe rewarding that work and activity - they quickly move to the errors of the past and never let go.

Lets be honest, McZ has 1700 TPE, most in Minnesota, second most is at 1500, so playing the most is not that weird, especially in Minnesota of all teams that has in total of I believe 6 1000+ TPE players.

Right of the bat your first argument is that McZ has been here longer, which literally everyone agrees isn’t much of a deciding factor if at all, and SpartanGibbles has held plenty of jobs too, including more recent GM experience and an updating position. You’re looking at this entirely from the perspective of “HO would hire anyone just to not hire McZ”, and not even remotely considering that Gibbles got the job because he’s???? qualified??? a better candidate??? You’re acting like Gibbles is an IA player who swooped in and stole the job thanks to HO’s plotting against McZ, and not even remotely giving him the credit his track record deserves. I have no doubt in my mind HO picked the best candidate.

I’ll give you playing the most might be justified, but playing him top pair with the lowest TPE defenseman on his team really comes across as stat padding, its not like MIN is deep enough to afford spreading their depth, and you haven’t addressed any of the other 5 points I made for Gibbles, or the second half of the 6th point that mentioned the survey.

And I still feel simply the fact that someone has been here longer automatically says they might know a lot more about the league than someone who has been here less time. Especially in McZ´s case where he has done it all during his time here.

What should I think as a ´neutral´ viewer, I see GM jobs opening and I hear McZ going for them, he does not get them. Couple times I understand it, maybe there is a lot of members who want the job and only one gets it, but when we get to three and more times, then its personal from HO towards McZ. I honestly think McZ is that good of a candidate to run any team. If you don´t want to give him that opportunity to even show what he can do? That is not right.
