My understanding is the hire was qualified. For flavor HO needs to post something like "Let them play hockey"

I can understand the frustration from an outside perspective, especially with Waters being already familiar with the team and is already involved. I can say to BOTH him and Uptown, they're both good users, so both have what it takes to be a GM. Maybe there's more involved in the application which lead to the decision for Uptown to get the nod. In an ideal world, both are a good GM/Co-GM Tandem. But to anyone in Minnesota who is a bit shocked with the decision, maybe hit up Uptown in the next few days, if you don't know him, get to know him a bit, see his vision/mindset for the team, then make your decision. I can get the anger, but sometimes taking a second to breathe, and talk, can help a bit.
