His GM did not snub him. It was the whole group who made the decision. Yzerman was the odd man out. Yes he has final say, but when you make decision as a group, thing like this may happen.
- Champ

If I'm the boss I make team like decisions but hold ground on that. Yzerman could have made that decision by himself.

Btw, what has yzerman done to have that position? Don't give me the gold crap I could've picked a gold team with that talent pool

Conacher picked up by Buffalo

Phew!

They needed to replace Gerbe

So his job is to pick a team to win Gold and he's done that twice, but we can't say that?

So the braintrust decided not to take this player, and so he takes it all out on his GM? His GM should contradict everything that was discussed with all the others and take the 'lil guy....just because he plays for him in the NHL? I'm not saying Marty didn't belong on the team originally, because I think he did. But he's a grown man FFS (well, partially grown). Suck it up and don't take it personally.

Champions have pride. If he didn't react that way I doubt he would ever win Art Ross trophies or have a HOF career against the odds the way he did

You can, but all I'm saying is that Gauther and Gainey likely would of picked gold both times as well.

he is a genious


did he really pick a team that had any surprises, I think 9 out of 10 people on the forum would of picked the same team both times

HockeyyInsiderr claiming Parenteau about to be traded to Habs.

What's Eklund have to say?

Thankless job.

I'm not saying Yzerman did a poor job but rather that he never had the 'resume'. Got the job because he represents the old boys club

I'm sorry, but this is beyond ironic.

What about selected omissions? And omitted selections?

Nice story. But still...

I'm just playing devil's advocate. I wouldn't be impressed if they did that to me

But it would be hard to leave Florida for New York. Who would live there?

I've been told that anyone could pick that team by one person

And another person telling me that someone should have a resume to pick that team

HAVE. Could HAVE.

Calisse.

P.A. Parenteau deal close
