This is exactly how it's going to work. Fletcher is part of the inner circle. They don't get fired, just put in a different position.

It is not much different elsewhere. There is always an inner circle. Former players get hired and GMs are either someone elses old GM or someone who was groomed within

What you mean “what”, I couldn’t have stayed my reasons more clearly.

Giroux is a rental for Florida. You’re telling me you have inside information of Giroux and his wife only discussing going to Florida and only Florida and dragging to very young children with them with no back up plan, knowing full well that once the run is over in Florida by June, they’re not thinking about where they’re gonna move next?

If this true, god bless to G and his family. I don’t know him personally. In my mid 30’s, moving to a new apartment two miles away is a pain.

Just take a look around you
What do you see
Kids with feelings like you and me
Understand him, he'll understand you
For you are him, and he is you

Dragging young children lol. Flying private to Florida for 3 months, the horror.
- ClaudeFather

Put 30 million in your bank account and watch how much easier it is.

Isn't that the truth. "Hey move me" Let me know when I can walk in. Or I'm just going to rent a fully furnished and ready to live in house for a few months.

Wow, you really missed the entire post and don’t know how things work. What I stated was literally from Giroux... the backup plan was he didn’t get traded, what don’t you understand that he had the NMC and exercised it to benefit his wants? They probably aren’t thinking of next season at all to be honest, they thought about what was the best move for this trade deadline for him to win and made sense for his family. Try to follow along, we know you don’t comprehend well.
- ClaudeFather

So post a link. I really don’t care what you said the player said.

I'm confounded by the Ellis news. They still haven't decided what to do about his injury? How many non-surgical treatment options can there be?

I heard they're going to try pyramid power next

Lol, I totally just got an image of Ellis on the training table covered in healing crystals, with incense burning in the corner.

Like I said, post a link. I work. You don’t.

It’s weird you think anyone should care what the next user of this site thinks. We’re not coworkers or drinking buddies. Like do you actually feel an emotional connection when you post here?.

Ristolainen’s skill set is that of a 3rd pairing player who should be making 2 million per at most.

It was a mistake to acquire him and significantly worse mistake extending him. Fletcher is incompetent

- BiggE


It's going to look even worse when Attard eclipses him within 5 shifts as a pro.

So as things stand today flyers with little over 8 million in cap space for next season. With 13 players signed. If I am reading that correctly.

I heard they were trying to raise Mr. Miyagi from the dead to clap and rub his hands together and fix him like he did Daniel.

So throughout his whole career, season after season, it has been the players around him. Got it.

Come on, I'm not saying something that extreme. Risto's is a good player, not a great player. He has his faults and makes mistakes like every other player. However the bottom line is is playing on bad teams that have poor possession and poor defensive structure has certainly played a significant part of Risto's "poor" analytics and has hurt his development as a player. You just can't discount this factor.

Actually I would say that the first statement is not true. Ristolainen has very strong raw skills. For lack of a better term, he's just a dumb hockey player who completely lacks hockey sense and doesn't have to ability to put his raw skills to good use.
- MJL

So you are agreeing with someone by telling them they are wrong and that you are right.

He is not a good player. He is a mediocre player and is not a player that helps a bad team or a poor possession team become better. He contributes to that rather than improving it. Those are the true factors. That is not a player that you trade a 1st, 2nd and an NHL player for and then extend him for 5 years to save face.
