Who would you hire if you won the lottery?

If I forgot you, I am sorry, my brain can only do so much.

Just like oviefan, if I forgot you please post anyway, so I can make a better list next time.

Hockey_gal you are assistant coach, because i can't believe i forgot you.

I need to move lumbers to rule change specialist. Green would be in charge of the TV. Thanks Chris. 2eighty8, Jenni and Erica sweet talk players into moving for lesser pay while keeping Jude under control with his wife. I must stop now. Too much typing.

Answer 1

I hope you have deep pockets because I have to have all the best toys to do the job right LOL.

If I had the money, I doubt I'd buy a sports team. I'd invest in a new resort in the Muskokas and hire CME to make it as green as possible by taking it off the power grid.
What I would also do is start a Sports Fantasy Tour company. I'd set it up so people could visit 30 NHL cities in 30 to 40 days and see games in all the arenas from private boxes. I'd later expand it to include other things like MLB and NFL.
I would however bring as many people from here as possible on the first trip and subsequent trips.
I don't want to make anybody work. I want y'all to party and have a good time.
And of course there would have to be a wicked kick off weekend for my resort with special platnium passes for all my Y! hockey friends.

Answer 2

Sounds good. Is there a goal judge position available and, if so, where do I send my resume?

Well, I was in the process of taking a job with the Isles (no, I'm not Jude) before Neil Smith recorded the shortest tenure in GM history, so I'd probably reciprocate that favor before any other.

As for a team, while I grew up with the Rangers, I think I'd rather take a struggling squad and try to turn things around for the fans and the community. I've always been a glutton for punishment that way. As I said, I grew up with the Rangers, so that should tell you a lot about my threshold for pain and frustration.

Answer 3

Hey I can actually do the job you have me down for. I know how to work a washer and dryer. I can sew so repairing stuff is no problem. I know how to load a truck for travel. Get to hang in the locker room with naked men . Yes I'm liking it. But I can always work with the defense when needed as I am one. Any way. If I won one of those ridiculous lotteries, you know the 200+ million. I want controlling interest in either the Panthers or the Red Wings. I probably have a better shot at the Panther gig though.;)

Answer 4

Good to see you making some light of the present situation, Haley.. I think your Bolts are safe... Just some bumps in the road.. Ironic this happens on the day my team finalizes a deal to keep them local..
I suck at paperwork, but hey, FL weather makes it worth the time to learn... You have a mind like a steel trap to remember practically all the regulars..Do you need a resume???
Puck-- great idea; if you win-- SIGN ME UP.. If there is a travel agent posting-- HERES YOUR SIGN!!! Run with it..
Green-- Sign Cheliosaurus first.. We will have casual dress Mon thru Thur; then Bare-naked Fri... Man that would be one water cooler that would never see a dull moment with all of us in shop..LMAO...
The only other thing you need are some puckbunnies in skates for goal girls.. Gotta have the eye candy; but I'm not touching that one because you cant judge a hoochie-mama by their avatar..
Hope it all smoothes out soon down there.. We're thinking about you here in TN...

GREEN-- as long as you dont work in a senior citizens center or a meat processing plant (mainly for the guys) you should be able to pull off the Friday treat just fine..LMAO...
GREEN-- say no more.. just send the address..LMAO...Couldnt have picked a better work place in my wildest dreams.. Just dont think nothing of it if after a few Michelob Ultra's I,m telling you I love you. Especially on FRIDAYS..LOL...

Answer 5

Um...madam owner, my first suggestion would to build a MOAT around St. Petersburg. Yes...a MOAT. Just reminiscing on an old joke while I was in school...imagine that...NHL's first MOAT.

Are you sure you want me to be co-head of security? lol

I just read your details in full! I want shue, trom, Jeff P, Vinny, Flames, Wings, and Zap for my staff. Don't worry, boys, we'll make it fun. I'll make sure Haley gives us a good communication system and cameras that can rotate and zoom and call for all those girls in bikini....IN CASE they steal something...yes...that's....it...right....lol

Oh, geez, I just read your ADDITIONAL details. Hmmm...I would buy the LA Kings or the Phoenix Coyotes and adopt Mark Cuban's philosophy on running a successful professional team. The Kings or Coyotes because I'm assuming that they're cheaper than any of the Canadian or major teams like the Rangers, Devils, or Wings. I remember a clip on Cuban's rise in the NBA and one of the Mavs players said that the first thing he did was ask around what would make the players happier. He listened to every one of them and fixed almost everything. That act alone shows that he recognizes that the product on the court is what will make him even more money, and if the product isn't producing, then all the marketing gimmicks in the world isn't going to change that.

Actually, can I get Jenni on my staff too? She can do some bodyguard work against all the puck bunnies. lol

Answer 6

i would like to thank you for my position and will do my best to have every angle show opposing players diving.

now to the lotto
I just got a phone call Jay Argentina u are needed in the studio.... watch out world I'm appearing on my first song, may never need to win the lotto. but in case i do win also ill use it to bring everyone together, either for all star game or if the idea happens some how the hall of fame game (hall of famer"s vs Stanley cup champ.) I have no desire to own a team. Think it would be a blast to have everyone there, the story's, the joke, everyone with such a wide range of life all with the same passion for the game. ahhh dreams.

and you forgot all of our favorite questioner.... Tracey Terry... what would it be with out her... have her be in charge of opposing team hospitality...

Answer 7

C'mon lemme be the goalie coach. :P

I would buy the Red Wings.

My GM would def be LITY, my coach would be Snoop, my assistant coach would be Chris, my other assistant coach would be Bob, the penalty box people would be DC Flury and Flames Fan, camera review i would leave up to vinny... um yea im just gonna stop right here, not in much of a talking mood, ill prolly edit it later though...

Answer 8

Can't believe I read the whole list of everbody's answers to make sure nobody else was using my answer and there it is right near the bottom, NO DIRT stole my answer. Well tough, I'm gonna use it anyway.
Gonna hire Tracy Terry for visitor's concierge.
And the Blue Jays medical staff for the visitors as well.

Answer 9

As your coach, I would talk to LITY and demand he get me a goalie, although with his bright mind, not much convincing would be needed.
I would gaurantee you a cup final within 3 years. I would also pull some strings and Crosby would be a member of our team when he becomes a UFA.
We would lose all of our games to the Flyers though. LOL

Answer 10

I'm into S&M so I'd buy the Leafs....Hey a team named after dead tree parts..the most consistent team over the last 40 some years, with millions of fans. Tampa has a chance of winning where is the challenge in that?.
