The Sharks hired John Ferguson Jr.--GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs until he was fired by that organization in January, leaving it in pretty rough shape--as a scout over the weekend.
Ferguson seems to be pretty universally reviled by Leafs fans...there were several players the Leafs would've liked to have moved for draft picks and young talent at the deadline last year (Mats Sundin chief among them), but they all had no-trade clauses inked by Ferguson and the organization was paralyzed.
So the guy's reputation is in need of a makeover. You would think in announcing his hiring on their official site, the Sharks could've found at least one picture that didn't make it look like he was making a perp walk...
Inspires confidence, doesn't it?
Maybe he'll do better as a scout...
