00:05 >> I wanna get your reaction to Waddell stepping down and
00:09 allegedly he must be getting the job in Columbus if he quit his job.
00:15 I mean, he was allowed to interview, so he did, and then he quit.
00:19 And that means he's got something else, right?
00:21 You don't just walk away from that kind of power unless you have something
00:25 lined up.
00:25 Is he getting the job in Columbus?
00:28 I would assume so, Scott, he's not gonna retire, right?
00:30 If you would, then you'd have the press conference where he would be there,
00:33 the unanimous retirement, pass the reins on to Eric Tolsky,
00:37 who's gonna be, who's their stats guy, their event stats guy.
00:41 But with respect to him, yeah, you gotta assume that's what's gonna happen.
00:44 And same thing in Edmonton, to be frank,
00:47 if the Oilers would lose in this round, maybe there's a change with Kenny Holland
00:52 as well, but you gotta think that Don Waddell's a very smart guy and
00:55 a smart business guy.
00:56 The fact that he did it the way it was orchestrated,
00:59 you have to connect the dots.
01:00 The Columbus Blue Jackets job is open.
01:02 It's a big job cuz it's a lot of work and
01:04 they're near the bottom of the Eastern Conference.
01:07 But you have to assume that's the next Don Waddell to fall with respect to
01:10 Don Waddell.
