Please NO Bowman! We don’t need that SOB here!

If it's gonna be Bowman, I feel like today is the day. Nothing like getting a bad news story out on a Friday afternoon.

That said, given that there are only 32 GM jobs in the NHL, I don't think that Bowman deserves a chance at one of those right away. He screwed up big time and putting him back into the exact same position doesn't seem right to me. Let him work his way back up again. Prove that he wants it and deserves it. Don't just give him a 2nd chance just because he flashes his Stanley Cup ring at whoever is doing the interviewing. (We all know this seems to work on Nicholson. Let's just hope that Jackson is a little more savvy than that.)

I was looking at Bowman's history, and honestly it's not very good. Bowman is damn lucky that Tallon screwed up the qualifying offers and Bowman got to swoop in at a perfect time to ride a great core of players. Maybe one could argue the situation is similar here, but we still have some issues to fix. The D still needs a good trade to improve, and we really have to dance around the cap.
