CNNSI.com - Hockey - Q&A with Atlanta Thrashers general manager Don Waddell - Friday December 27, 2002 01:34 AM Waddell: It was hard, but I've said all along that in this business you have to be able to separate your personal feelings from what it is in the best interest of the hockey club. Waddell: No, when he sat down and I told him it was time to make a chance, he said, "Yeah, I knew this was coming." He felt bad that he couldn't, in his words, "get the job done." But I told him that 3 1/2 years with one franchise is pretty good in today's world. Waddell: We're just going to be a little bit more responsible in collapsing a fourth man. Instead of playing a three-on-three down low, we'll collapse a forward down there so we outnumber the team. sportsillustrated.cnn.com /hockey/news/2002/12/26/waddel_qa   (2028 words)
