Hunter is an interesting choice. He is a name the gets my attention
- VANTEL

He was brought in to Toronto because he was supposed to be a drafting guru.

He was a complete and utter failure.

There's a reason why he hasn't had another NHL job since Toronto.

Didn't he always want meat and potatoes type players?

Anyways, I fear FA is too cheap to fire a GM he just extended.

So they'll fire Green and look for the cheapest replacement possible. It's too bad FA wasn't so frugal when JB was signing free agents.

I am not really familiar with him and your team but he was there from 2014-2018

In that time Matthews Marner Nylander were some high end picks but also Dermott Lilgegrin . That 2015 draft looks pretty solid.

Not exactly. He did take a lot of those guys, but on the other hand he did take Mitch Marner.

It basically comes down to this: he was in charge of the 2015-2017 drafts.

2015 - I don't give him any credit for selecting Mitch Marner. It as the 4th overall pick, and basically any of the top 10 picks would have been fine (except Strome, who was already taken).

After that, he cleverly traded down, so instead of Konecny, we got Dermott (currently trying to hang on to a roster spot) and Bracco (currently playing in Europe after having been put through waivers by Carolina, after we didn't bother to sign him). The rest of 2015 was a giant heap of garbage.

2016 they selected Matthews overall. So obviously he gets no credit for that. Our 2nd round pick was Egor Korskkov - an over-ager who would have still been around in the 3rd round. Joseph Woll (G) in the third round may still be a player, but after that it's nothing.

2017 they selected Liljegren 17th overall. His stock had fallen throughout the year - yes, he had mono. He's a defenceman, may still be a good pick. Maybe. After that, it's all garbage.

That's Hunter's record.

I love you VANTEL, but you are smoking crack on this one.

Nylander was before Hunter's time.

I said I don't know . I did look at his time of employment with Leafs . It said 2014-2018. Nylander was a 2014 pick . I was asking not stating.

I prefer to think of it this way: if he had made better selections, we'd be in even worse cap hell right now.

SILVER LINING!!!!

1040 new format is a comedy station. Seriously . That is the new format. I won't touch this one it is too easy.

ahh, i see you're using the Mike Gillis line on FA to get his old job back.

Mike Koivu retires, hopefully Loui understands this.

This was not an easy decision for me as I have loved every minute of my short time in Columbus and really hoped to be able to help this team accomplish its goals this season, but the bottom line is I haven't been able to get to the level of play that I need to be true to myself and fair to my teammates, so the time is right for me to retire from hockey. I have been extremely blessed and I am eternally grateful to the Minnesota Wild and Columbus Blue Jackets organizations for the opportunities they have given me to live out my dreams of playing in the National Hockey League for the past 16 years.

Others :

It will be easy for them to be hired on by the new station seeing they had clowns ,idiots ,jokers.

Why did they change they were already a joke.

There is tons of one liners you can come up with.

When do we start the Jake to Pitts rumors?

He was brought in to Toronto because he was supposed to be a drafting guru.

He was a complete and utter failure.

He should fit in here quite well then!

Hearing Brian Burke has discussed Jake Virtanen with Hextall.

When do we start the Jake to Pitts rumors?

I don't know if anyone want's him.

Two truculent guys like Hexie and Burkie? It's a match if there ever was one.

A draft pick

Ron Hextall to Pittsburgh is just so wrong on so many levels, I'm at a loss for words
