While the NHL playoffs are picking up steam on the ice, the NHLPA made headlines last week off the ice when its player reps voted unanimously to fire Ted Saskin. The executive director was ousted after an attorney’s report revealed Saskin may have snooped through players’ e-mails. No interim director has been named, which makes you wonder who is running the asylum.
But seriously, whoever is hired as the new NHLPA director will have his (or her) hands full trying to rebuild a more amicable and trusting relationship between the players and owners. He’ll have to be a good listener, a tough negotiator, an astute business person, and a tactful and patient diplomat. Know anyone like that? The NHLPA may be interested in talking to them.
