I prefer explaining the obvious.

Still the season was a failure no matter how it was portrayed or how it went down.
- Nighthawk

No doubt, PP sucked, PK sucked. Team wasn't good. Maybe some contributing factors but they just weren't good enough.

Were some individual things to build off of but as a whole, they need to be better next season.

Over under on Edler and Sutter coming back?

I'll set the both back percentage at 95 percent

I'll take the Over
- Jkuzzi

I say move on. Nothing against either of them just the need for change.

JB has one year left in my rebuild playbook for the team to be competitive, youth to show up in system to show its not all high picks.

Green got two years but if team does suck next season, they both gone.

They are a tandem and are both involved in player acquisition. You can’t keep Benning and fire Green imo

Lol I'll end this conversation here. When it's no longer constructive debate, I think it's time for the discussion to end.

What if you have Astra pumping through your veins and are a Benning apologist? Just asking for a buddy

Bleach drinker.

I didn't say anything about your circumstances. You fully admitted you got covid and have clearly mocked Lordy and others about their views on it. Those are just two facts.

I have no respect for people who disobey public health orders, and call those who are sheep. Plain and simple.

I know how serious this is first hand, and have witnessed it's wrath.

I followed all health protocols and STILL got infected.

This is something I wouldn't wish on anyone, even the stupid ones.

JB has tied himself to him now. Or FA tied them together as they will both expire at the same time.

Both are on the hot seat.
Sink or swim season will dictate their fate.
Team takes off for real or gone yes 👍

I respect people that follow public health authorities and I also respect those that don’t. That being said, if you are potentially endangering others or making people feel unsafe by not wearing a mask I don’t condone those
Actions. I was told by Bonnie that I couldn’t see my girlfriend at one point. GFY. People that don’t question authority are by definition sheep. But i won’t criticize you for following the law as that’s your right

I dont want either of them to be back

I'd say near 100% sutter is back, and a little less than 100% edler is back.

A client of mine died. I’ve had around 30 friends w COVID and I’d say 90% thought it was a cold. But 100%. Our personal experience will shape how we respond to the pandemic

I am sorry that you have had to deal with it.

You may not have respect for them but they are out there and are people. Mocking them is just angering them the same way it was so easy for you to call me an idiot.

I have been in 5 different provinces for work regularly since covid started. Met many who don't believe in it. Mocking them is not really the way to encourage them to follow the rules.

Bo and Benning both alluded to improving the depth of this roster. To me it seems like they want to upgrade on Sutter. Edler is well respected by Green, Benning and a close friend of the Sedins

Your point of view might change if they were personal friends with no underlying conditions and were under 55. Give that some thought.

The player, nor the manager who signs a player, determines the icetime, it is the coach, although the GM might have some influence.
If the player is the most reliable at certain aspects of the game, you can bet that that player will be used in those situations.
I always get a kick out of it when player x is promised a chance to play with player y, or is guaranteed z amount of playing time.
Only in dreamland.

I have to try and get people to follow the rules,, not guidelines that the company has set out for covid.

Best I can really do for some is say that actions have consequences. Some consequences are worse than others.

I have got through to more than a few though that take more responsibility now.

Sure does. Fixing the 1 year extra term on UFA’a is a must. Gotta wait & see who & how it effects cap space.

The coaching staff has not been renewed with Green. They are going to evaluate them. A bit of hope for change.

Who is really a buyout now other than LE and JV

- Nighthawk

I’m guessing some of the 2022 UFA’s will be on the buyout list.

Allows Benning to maybe make a trade with a deeper team like Colorado or Tampa before the ED or sign a quality UFA to a reasonable deal thanks to the deflated flat cap market.
