A lot of bad mojo with this new owner. He is clearly offering existing employees contract deals they can't accept, so they will leave and he can hire lower priced and younger people. He did win the Stanley Cup so he can point to that and you can't really come back at him. It just feels like it is going to go up in fire before he figures things out....and it sounds like he may want that to be outside of Portland.
I think Mike Schmitz got out at the right time. Not sure there is room for an expensive assistant GM in Portland with El Cheapo running things.
Problem is not the owner. It´s the labour laws in America, if it´s that easy to simply fire people that worked for you for 30 years. They are obviously not moving. Just another billionaire asking for a re-developmental grant from the state or as it is labelled when it concerns poor people COMMUNISM.
