I didn’t realize McCarthy played for him in Atlanta

Sounds like, while not rushing a rebuild, he’s not planning on starting from scratch.

I quite like Waddell and respect him immensely for how he handled the reporter who was asking about the coaching change

he got a number of questions that were impossible to answer (specifically regarding Pascal) on your first day in the building and handled them well! I got the overall feel that he already has some thoughts on how to improve this team for the immediate future, while also being able to continue to build upon the team’s obviously bright future.
Some of my favorite quotes:
“Will definitely spend as much time with Pascal as I can, no timeline with anybody on that staff. You don’t walk into a new place and make decisions without knowing the facts”
“When I look at the NHL roster, there’s some things we have to figure out. It’s pretty obvious. But there’s enough good things there that if we can figure out the weak links … I think we can fix that pretty quick. That’s what I feel good about.”
“There’s a lot of good pieces there. The previous management has done a good job of drafting. We have some challenges, of course — that’s why they’ve brought me in — but it’s not like this is an organization that’s going to take a long time to fix.”
“I wouldn’t be taking this on at this point in my career unless I thought we could make a difference.”
