When he's really good, people will forget it. Right now he has it, and it's more so the complaining. Crosby did the same thing.

He's adjusting to a different league and it takes a while. I also think being young he has to earn the calls (not saying I agree with that thinking).

And yes; fingers crossed for the lottery!!

Great analogy, the Crosby whining was bad but that narrative went away. The coach needs to make a point of standing up for Stutzle at his presser on Saturday when Montreal is in town!

No instead he goes to bat for Josh Brown and Nikita Zaitsev, justifying their spot in the line up over and over to the media, like a dozen times. Now that PD went on Vancouver radio to say how Zaitsev makes the right side of the D strong, hard to play against, elite.....omg! It's absolute insanity to hear this garbage!

Maybe he's hoping other GMs hear it and believe what he's saying so he's easier to trade.

The word is out on him, every team that has come in Ottawa for 3 years now all know what a train wreck he is. This ain't 20 years ago when Glen Sather signed Wade Redden to that crazy 24 million contract thinking he was the Wade of 5 years earlier lol.
