"It's going to require patience. There will be hard times but we're going to build it the right way"

A slight paraphrase but it sounds a hell of a lot like his first thoughts are to tank next year.

He says "we'll go thru hard time", that might be a hint that he's rebuilding :D

Its like the people who comment on twitter when someone says "u aint bout dis lyfe" and they say "I AM SO **** SMART THAT I CANNOT COMPREHEND WHAT YOU SAID. GO BACK TO ENGLISH CLASS" just a bunch of pent up racism deep down.

Q: How are you different now than when you left Toronto?

A: I think I was fortunate to learn from four different GMs who had four different styles. First of all, John Gabriel in Orlando, and then Kiki Vandeweghe, Mark Warkentein and BC. For me, scouting is my background so finding talent is what I know. My wife won't like this much but I'm always out on the road, I'm always trying to figure it out, regardless of who's seen teh talent or which of our scouts see the talent. That's my background and that's what I know. In terms of learning, you learn from situations that you're in. Obvioulsy the situations in Denver I was in were sometimes tough situations. You learn from that. You learn how to manage people, you learn how to deal with people, you learn how to compromise in many ways. Hey. Do I think I'm better? Yes. Do I think I'm still learning? Yes. Do I think I can do it? Yes.

Q: Masai, you've talked repeatedly about your staff. We know Stefanski is no longer here. Can you update us on the rest of staff?

A: I'm going to keep a small staff. I believe in small. I think all the other stuff is kind of in-house for now, and as it goes along, some people I'm still evaluating and some people are obviously no longer here. We're going to create the office that we want. But I'm going to keep a small staff.

This is the opposite of the BC spin language I'm used to hearing.

PLUS, he doesn't blurt out every secret or plan he has!

Good so far....
