I assume they'll want to hire a president before they hire a new coach but everything is so Donkey-backwards here that they'll probably do the opposite. Common sense never appears to prevail in Sensland

I don’t think it matters since they said Dorion is making the hire himself. The new POHO, if there is one, wouldn’t know the team very well

That’s interesting news. Wonder what his preferences would be. Jack Eichel or Tkachuk.

They're also going to interview Nate Leaman (coaching Boston's AHL team), and they already interview Crawford and Troy Mann.

Why would they want to interview him then?

Apparently the whole thing with interviews can be political, where executives will interview people as favours to other people, etc.  That's what Shawn Simpson was going on about anyway.
