re sharks jack feirerra was re sharks kingston fired gak wrs com richard stueven writes on the other hand i m hard pressed to think of any other real mistakes fereirra made imagine indeed but then again we have the benefit of hindsight well the jettison for youth fast strategy was his also in hindsight it didn t work all that well but i think it was more because it left the sharks on a tightrope without a net not that it was inherently flawed it was the injuries that caused us to fall let s say that in the view of the sharks upper management the attempt to trade kisio was a major factor in the decision to fire feirerra from all indications it wasn t the major factor but the last straw there were personality conflicts among shark management and disagreements over how personnel were going to be handled not just who was being traded vs kept but who was being sent to kc what ferriera did if rumors are right was not always what the folks behind the bench wanted or needed i m inclined to take exactly the opposite view they should have kept him he s obviously the luckiest man in hockey i think if they d kept ferriera they would have lost some of their other management staff depending on which sources you trust we might have lost grillo and lombardi and murdoch over the summer frankly i want to keep those three we may well ahve also lost kingston which of course is now a moot point the sharks have been building an organizational staff that is highly consensual and cooperative ferriera wanted to run things his way there were conflicts ferriera lost that says nothing about his skills or accomplishments at that level a lot is personality and politics i think he did some good things for the sharks but that he never fit in as a shark person i hope he succeeds beyond his wildest dreams down in anaheim too because it ll be good for hockey but i want the ducks to be doormats for a couple of years so the sharks succeeed first chuq imho von rospach esd support training dal aux chuq apple com member sfwa editor otherrealms genie mac bigot alink chuq minor league fans minors request medraut apple com san jose giants a san francisco giants fans giants request medraut apple com the stick not san jose sharks fans sharks request medraut apple com new seat tbd
