Exactly.

Give these guy a chance before whining. Whine after we see what they mess up, IF they mess up.

the good news is that they were talented offensive players. not 4th liner grinders.

is that what they call a modern organization? because I'm pretty sure that way of doing things is not new at all. lol

The modern side of things is to go at it and build a team based on modern data, using advance stats and not committing the whole cap to the defense. It's knowing that you win games by scoring goals not by just preventing them, that's the modern way. We're going to get a team that is attack orientated! Finally! It's not gonna be well, the goalie will carry us on his back and if his knees hold up, we may make the playoffs and then anything can happen.

It doens't look bad from most angles! You do not know these people professionally, nor do i to be fair, the people who do know them professionally hired them though, so give it a chance.

Hiring your friends looks bad EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. That's why YOU brought up the term country club. If all you can say is give it a chance you're literally saying nothing

to be fair he is drunk

Ooo gotcha...what's your excuse then?

Completely disagree.

Bringing in people you trust in a situation you NEED to succeed only makes sense.

If the people you bring in turn out to be useless turds, THEN it looks bad.

You're skipping steps into negative land my friend.

Naw...you're just looking at it objectively rather than blindly saying give it a chance. Who needs analysis?

- deadpoulet

That's white washing it rather than examining it. Either hiring friends is right or wrong regardless of level in the organization. Answer...it's wrong

Completely disagree.

Exactly after he was (frank)ed over by the Rangers he needs people he trusts as advisors. Friedman mentioned that in a recent podcast.

I don't care to be honest, be mad about it if you feel like it

What's the problem with this guy Take?

Chews loudly?
- Scabeh

I think his biggest scouting score was Kreji.

You're doing no analysis whatsoever!!!! You do not know these people track record, you said yourself you know nothing of Bobrov. give me a break.

Or I both hire a lot and work with companies on their hiring and can objectively look at what's going on and question it. First time GM comes in and hires his friends who are all first time everything starts to look bad if you don't just say "maybe it'll be ok, give it a chance". Wanting it to be a good situation doesn't mean ignoring things that look bad and hoping for the best

WE'RE ALL GREAT FRIENDS ON THE INTERNET!

You telling me to be mad about something on the internet if I feel like it amuses me

- Karine Hains

And I didn't question Bobrov. I did question MSL and Vinny for the reasons I've listed which again, aren't really being refuted (other than a part of my opinion on MSL - just not the facts behind my opinion).

It's like your "if you build it they will come" from the blog. Fact free but looks great as a slogan.

so true but I just can'T give them money with go fund me lol
- deadpoulet

an advisor is a person you bounce off ideas with, Vinny will not be running anything with the Habs, he is a resource Luthor will consult with from time to time.

I don't see it being a huge deal either, they won't be the ones making decisions
