Channel 5 is reporting that the Spirit will be making an announcement tomorrow. Anyone have any idea what that might be?

I heard it too. The only thing on the website is that the Spirit store will be closed for the holiday weekend!!!

I had someone ask me yesterday if Paliafito had resigned. Don't know what was behind that question or if it has any merit.

Yes, Paliafito is gone. I heard about it yesterday as well. Looks like he is off to join the Maple Leafs organization. Not sure in what role, however.

He is to be their USHL scout? He can do that from his home in Kentucky

Ok, who will the next GM be? They have to hire one, a GM/coach set up will not work this far away from the talent pool.

Congrats to Jimmy P. I'd like for us to keep the GM and coach spots seperate still as at even this level, it's hard to do both well at the same time. Better to have two guys dedicated to their respective jobs.
So that means we need a new GM then. Assisant GM promotion? Outside hire?

Anyone else see this tweet before it was deleted? "Todd Watson hired as new GM to replace Jim Paliafito"

I say no loss. He can be replaced. As for Goslin "handling certain duties" forget it.
