How does NHL work like this...

Does it mean that all assistant coaches, scouts, amateur coaches, trainers, etc down to the equip guy gets fired like it does in the NFL and other sports?

Why do people do this now????

We take shots at ROR now as if he is some bum on the 4th line??


Good grief... Zemgus has to be elated to not be the whipping boy.

- JVince11

I expected that as soon as the rumor we were looking at him started. I knew people would start to turn against him since he wouldn't put up big numbers but would have the big contract.
BINGO!

How were Kane's advanced stats?

I ask because you seem to be all about them almost all the time and yet you are hung up on assists.

Also, I am not a fan of Kane at all as I think he is grossly overrated, but then again, so are many players who are labeled with the word potential as if it is solid gold.

- kingcong39

Really good for the most part, but he's always been a high volume shooter with a low shooting%, so his shot totals are deceiving.

But he also has bad aspects. Horrible passer, takes a ton of penalties.

He's a 2nd line winger when on his game, 3rd line winger when off.

I'd wager Roslovic ends up a 2/3 center. It's just convenient he's always left out of the "slam dunk best player" equation

Pretty sure it has to be that way due to it not being May 1st yet.

Its different everytime. but sometimes they like to allow the coach to bring in his own assistants etc. or the GM wants to select all the coaching staff. I think guys like trainers and equipment guys usually get to stay

I think he's going to be on the offensive. He probably has a lot to say

I'm not saying he has to be coach, but he could probably fill a role within the org.

To be fair, Roslovic is nowhere near the best player part of the deal yet, and that won't be known for how many seasons? Probably at least 2 based on normal player development, so like usual, the knee jerk reaction to call a winning side is dumb, as it is almost all the time.

Let's face it... It doesn't matter who he brings in, the female doging will begin at that very moment or at the first trade. Possibly the expansion draft.

I'd like to get that started properly now by saying that move by the new GM was horrible. What a clown!
