Jarómy Dragr: Hi Manny. Thanks for sitting down with me today, Manny. I believe you have some news to share?
Bryan Madaleno: That is correct. Effective immediately, I will be stepping down and leaving the Ivory Tower. The Americans conducted a long interview process and Paul Proctor will be co-GM with Brauny.
Dragr: Wow! Not the big shake-up that the fans were expecting. What prompted this?
Manny: Mainly swamped with work the next couple months and don’t have time to slack or find subs and stuff.
Dragr: Interesting….and you are….
Manny: An Architect.
Dragr: Yes! That’s it. Bryan Madaleno: Sex Architect.
Manny: No.
Dragr: Yes. Let’s move on. Tell us about Proctor and Brauny. Think they’ll work well together?
Manny: They are going to work great together. Both have strong hockey knowledge and know what our guys can do out there. Brauny and I had a long talk about this and we know Proctor is the guy moving forward and help this team to the next level.
Dragr: How would discuss your experience in the Ivory Tower thus far?
Manny: Time in the Ivory Tower has been great. I’m going to miss my time there but a GM has to know when to step down. I drafted a solid team and got us to this point but playoffs are coming and I know Proctor is the guy to take us all the way.
Dragr: Would you ever consider returning to ownership?
Manny: Yes, I would. Not ruling it out for next season.
Dragr: Thank you for taking the time to sit down with me today. Best of luck to you moving forward.
Manny: Thank you.
