Craig Leipold has already made some of the decisions for his new GM. And he’s set the bar high, as Hockey Wilderness wrote back in April. There’s been a lot of discussion about whether Leipold is right to limit the decisions of his new manager, which he is making no bones about. He’s said that Bruce Boudreau and company are safe, as well as declaring his non-renewal of Chuck Fletcher “not a rebuild.”
Leipold is not only completely within his rights as owner to make these decisions, but he is making the correct decisions.
