The numbers do not necessarily support that conclusion. Keep in mind that No. Both of those scenarios seem unlikely. Though the organization seems stacked on the wings, moving the first-liner would create a hole that might take at least a couple of years to fill. Shouldnt that be of some concern to the hierarchy featuring John Davidson as president and Jeff Gorton as general manager?
the first-liner would violate the protocol.
( z0 violate :ARG0 ( z1 line :ord ( z2 ordinal-entity :value 1 ) ) :ARG1 ( z3 protocol ) )
(z0 / violate-01
    :ARG0 (z1 / line
              :ord (z2 / ordinal-entity
                       :value 1))
    :ARG1 (z3 / protocol))
the first - liner would violate the protocol .
z2 :value 0
z1 :ord z2
z0 :ARG0 z1
z0 :ARG1 z3
