[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 734687"] I have to conclude you do not understand executive dynamics. There is a broad range of possible possible influence between "understudy" and "running the show". Then there's the matter of succession planning which requires increasing authority. You may have noticed when GMs are hired, they typically get 5 year contracts with the expectation they will tear down a struggling team and recreate it their own image. So long as progress is made on that path and philosophical head butting with the owner is avoided, they get their 5 year time line. If Thompson's departure is 2 or 3 years away, with a smooth transition being the obvious desired outcome, it would make sense to allow Wolf more authority. I suggest the possibility only because it makes sense. At the same time, there is an evident tilt toward vet FAs , and the late pick up of a guy like Brooks for some decent money are uncharacteristic. We'll see if Dial reinforces that picture. [/QUOTE]
