FIRINGS/HIRINGS and MUSICAL CHAIRS:
Arizona fired GM Elmer Simms after 9 seasons. He spent 2012 as the Tulsa GM before taking over in Arizona. They moved quickly, hiring 1st time GM, 64 year old Elmer Williams.

That ties into the 2nd piece of news, where Philadelphia fired GM Glenn Wilhelm, and at the same news conference announced the signing of Simms as their new GM to a 4 year 3.4M dollar deal. Wilhelm had been the GM in Philadelphia since the franchises founding.

Wilhelm then turned around and landed in New York where GM Tomas Hernandez's contract was not renewed at seasons end. The Knights gave Wilhelm a 4 year 4M dollar deal.

In what seems to be an incestous circle, Hernandez then accepted a 5 year 4.75M dollar deal from Columbus to become their new GM after their former GM Danny Thornton announced his retirement.

Edmonton fired Manager Fernando Sanchez after just 3 seasons on the job. Sanchez was immediately offered the managing job in Columbus after Roberto Lopez and the team could not come to terms on an extension.

Hawaii fired manager Tim Brown after just 1 season. Brown was immediately offered the vacant PC's job in Baltimore and he signed that deal for 3 years.
