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.

I genuinely don’t see how being here longer simply just means they’re better. If someone has been a GM more recently or been in a team’s management group longer. I’m putting a lot more stock in that than just BEING here, and Gibbles literally brings both of those to the table over McZ.

I don’t think McZ should be barred from jobs, I’m sure he’d make an alright GM, but I really can’t see the argument you’re making that he’s better than Gibbles. A lot of your takes just don’t make any sense and they all just stem from him being here longer, which is like probably the only thing he has on Gibbles, and that really doesn’t amount to much
