Got me with the clickbait headline..
Wonder if this means that his new office is stationed under Simon's desk in New York or if he will still be looking over the shoulders of the staff who do actual work here as "special advisor" instead of "president".

Wonder if this means that his new office is stationed under Simon's desk in New York or if he will still be looking over the shoulders of the staff who do actual work here as "special advisor" instead of "president". Exactly the question to be pondering. Seems like a nothing announcement considering Sly would have all the input he needs on direction from above and I highly doubt he's pestering Shaw about whether to go after an extra 3rd rounder in a deal. We all know the idea of Simon declaring direction is laughable. So either the GM is now making that call or the "special advisor" is still weighing in for the owner who can't. The same people essentially hold the same influence. What changes? Gerard's compensation, perhaps. The need to be at the rink every day/game. But little else as I see it.

I think compensation might be the key piece of this change. Maybe it allows them to make the coaching change that’s been rumoured/talked about for a bit

I would expect to hear something on the coaching the next little bit too but today’s announcement wasn’t that big of a deal , only difference is Shaw won’t be around in office anymore and won’t be doing day to day stuff anymore , he can do his so called special advisor online afar

How can it go wrong? World Class Baby!

Is it at all possible that the plan here is to give Sly more control?
For years fans on this board have been calling for a change, specifically Shaw. So, does this move bring change or is Shaw still on the pulse of the operation?

At this point I am not sure what to think anymore but if there is a Transition in place beyond the President this close to the Draft ........imagine telling the Parents of their 15 year old Son ........"well we don't have a Head Coach .....Right Now "......but we are planning to bring in a World Class Coach in time for Training Camp " .

So, does this move bring change or is Shaw still on the pulse of the operation? But Shaw is still essentially in the same position but without the daily duties. There's a title change but he's still the one advising Simon which ultimately is the issue as he's never shown an ability to properly advise.
