“He’s worked in almost every department and has tons of experience and was primed to be a general manager," Crane said. “With his experience level, and his interaction with the guys, and our entire staff, I think he's definitely the right person and I have no reservations whatsoever putting them in the job. I know we can do it."“Winning a championship is going to be on the front burner at all times," Click said.
