That's not how this organization is broken out. McDipshit is in charge of everything. He has many different people underneath him that are responsible for portions of the business. The GM does not have full and autonomous control over the scouting, player development, coaching staff, hockey operations, and legal or contract aspects of the team. Some groups are like that but this one is not. Same thing on the non-hockey side, there are department heads if you will over each section and they report to the VP and McDipshit. There are almost too many people in the business of running the business now but that is what Rocky and McDipshit want. Even though McDipshit wants to be very involved in certain things, like when he told the GM (Tallon) to go get a big name goalie, or when he told everyone that Savvy needed to be replaced by a proven Pro coach. Leading from the top and micromanaging are too very different things. This guy doesn't know when to let someone below him make a decision and live or die by it. Now, maybe he will prove me wrong in a few years when Scooter can't get this team past the first round...but who knows.
I think he built a huge organization by getting rid of one person and replacing them with another plus two assistants (but he did it in just about every fucking part of the organization). Look at a Hawks org chart from 8 years ago then look at this http://blackhawks.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=47745 are we that much better off? Really? Is the franchise out of the red and winning or coming close to winning every year? How long do you measure that before you look at JM and determine if he was successful?
