Okay, so he hasn't had his first interview yet. Fine, but what's the holdup? Is that truly how you treat the alleged #1 GM candidate; wait several weeks after he's eligible before bringing him in for an interview?
Maybe in my 50s I just have a lot more "cook or get away from the stove" in my disposition. Ian if you wanna bolt, then good luck! I hate to lose ya' because I suspect you might be the better talent evaluator between yourself and Poles, but enough already about this interview which has been "imminent" for an eternity in terms of the off-season calendar.
