I think Chevaldayoff is a fantastic hire given his background and his most recen success within an organization like the Blackhawks. My concern with True North and the management decisions made to date is in the hiring and prominent role of Mr. Heisinger. Let me say upfront that I’m fully supportive of someone working their way up through an organization, gaining increasing responsibility and importance along the way, and Heisinger has worked hard to continue to be promoted. However, this is now the NHL that he’s working with, and I question whether he has the background, training, business acumen, education, or on the job training for these titles. Is he connected in NHL management circles, will he have enough credibility to deal with other clubs successfuly, does he have the aptitude and background to deal with the NHL cap, all majore questions. I’m all for promoting within, but up to a certain level only, and I question if Heisinger has been given too much, and the organization is sacrificing much needed NHL savvy, experience, and brain power for this position. My call is True North should have brought in outside talent to replace Heisinger in the current role, but give Heisinger some other position in the org that isn’t so critical to their all up success.
