The All-Time Great
All I am saying is that the departure of McVay does NOT in fact need to be repeated with others.
We don't have anyone else as a front office/team executive that is outstanding to let Schaffer depart.
We don't have anyone else in the personnel/scouting chain to let Kyle Smith depart.
And I don't necessarily think they would depart if they were given a commitment by the organization, much as Todd Reirden was by the Capitals.
Notice that Reirden was inquired of by several teams even before the Caps won the Cup in 2018 and he didn't interview for those jobs.
McClelland had already told him he was going to be the future coach in Washington when Trotz's term was over.
