I'm not sure I believe he's gone and retired until I see it, but positive news.

Dare I update the signature???

As much as this is less helpful than it would have been, say, 5-10 years ago, it is still good news. Kevin Lowe stood as a giant totem for failing up in the organization. No matter how badly he performed, he was given another promotion, another body in between him and accountability and a continued seat at the table.

The only issue I see here is that there isn't a capable person ready to step in to his spot. Bob Nicholson is even more of a disaster and severely tainted right now by the Team Canada stuff. Gretzky left last year for the TV gig. Ken Holland is also past due on retirement, and shouldn't be offered another role in the organization when he finally leaves the GM post.

I could see the role being well-suited for someone with more of a business/legal mindset, rather than simply a hockey one but there's no one obvious in the organization to step in to those shoes either.

Maybe we just bring back MacTavish and Howson...

"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
