Guess who just got hired as a special assistant to Glen Sather! Mark the fuck Messier, that's who! Some of us have been clamoring for Messier to take over for Sather for years. Now, granted, that's not necessarily smart. Messier may know absolutely nothing about running an organization. But we do know he's very good at hockey, and we do know he's the likeliest successor, and we do know Sather pisses us off all the time. It's basically the "Vote Kerry" argument.
As Brooks says, this is no reason to assume that Messier will be Sather's successor, and that by the time Brashear and Redden's contracts expire, I'll be clumsily inventing a term that combines "General Manager" and "Captain" in one awkward phrasing. But Brooks kinda also has to say that, because everyone else is already saying "See? Messier's gonna be the GM!" Plus, it's nice to think about having Messier and Graves together in the system now, isn't it?
