I was thinking that they were what was holding back our Power Play! Tipton I can point to as why our 3rd and fourth line production isn't where it needs to be! I think this is a step in the right direction for sure!

Looking at those titles, clearly those are corporate positions. Did they exist prior to FSG? Probably not.

Chief Revenue Officer probably (hopefully) realized a team not playing isn't earning revenue, so you are low hanging fruit.

SVP's of Partnership and Marketing (?) X2 probably began to realize a team not playing surely aren't partnering with any company looking for revenue based on board placement advertising during the playoffs.

Redundant jobs during a playoff drought.

There are more business layoffs than just those 3 for sure. I saw Andi Perlman post today (from yesterday) that she was let go. She was VP of Marketing and Digital for 10 years.

I'm wondering if Jennifer Bullano Ridgley made it or not. She's Chief Communications Officer who has been there for 18+ years. I believe when you see press conferences, she's the one calling out reporters names, and when there are player requests for interviewers, she's the one to go to.

I don't see Michelle Crechiolo listed on the Pens Website under the Front Office Staff either. I'm not sure she was ever listed, but I know she's been around since 2010. She is/was the head writer for the Penguins official website and serves as a PensTV pre-game and intermission host on the big screen. She also did some fill-in radio color commentating on the radio for a couple Pens games.

I don't think she was ever officially listed. She made some posts on April 29th regarding signing of Larsson and Poulin, so I think she made the cut.

Leo McCafferty, creator of "In The Room" also let go. He also helped create the 50th anniversary documentary.
