Well that depends if the belief is JG is elite and Provy for example is considered under achieving in relation to his cap hit. The team is opening a hole on the left side of the blue line to acquire an elite winger. Again, it depends if one believes JG is elite. That is certainly up for debate.

No, it really doesn't. Whether Provorov is underachieving or not. In the absence of Ellis, he is still this teams top defenseman. They don't have a replacement for him. They would have no top pairing if Ellis is out. So what would be the point of signing Gaudreau then if it creates that huge hole?

I saw the Dobbie Brothers a few years ago and I instantly thought of Re-run bootlegging the show

That was good show. Odd band to have on and it worked.

Do not want JG at 10 mil +

Wow! That takes me back a few years.

Others played the game and Chuck panicked. He is not good at planning ahead. He sees the day in front of him and acts what he feels needs to be done at that moment.

The perfect analogy is that he chases his tail. It couldn't be more obvious. He is a horrendous GM.

If he continued coming back and got his game to where it was before his illness. They may have been able to get a decent future asset for him at the trade deadline. This organization has no clue.

Darren Dregar reported that there is plenty of interest in Oskar on the FA market. Good for him.

So trade him?

Then they wouldn't be able to make such a generous donation!

You didn't understand as you asked the question.

Means I do not have a care in the world and sit on my deck down the shore during the day. This coming from the guy who post during his 15 minute break from the deli counter.

Where you headed?

Interesting. When you cyberstalked JMatchett you were "working in IT". That was 2 years ago. And when you went up to CT and asked ClaudeFather seafood recommendations, you were travelling "for work" . That was a little over 1 year ago.

And you said you lived in Camden this year. Is the Delaware river bank now considered "the shore?"

Zacha traded to Bruins. Wow..... If Fletchy the pantload gets beat by the Devils, he's more of a pathetic loser than I imagined.

Look, I'm only bringing up possible scenerios that could happen to get JG signed. When I wrote, I don't advocate such a path, I thought that was pretty straighforward. Have a feeling this JG saga will be resolved in the next 24 hrs thankfully.

I swear if this is how it pays it CF needs to be fired

Actually that would be 9am Pacific

Maybe to some folks in port richmond. Not to me.

Zacha traded to Bruins?

That means Johnny be good in NJ!

Based on your scenario yes. Total failure.
- hello it's me 2050

Which he would need to be fired.

We can debate what the right plan is but if the number one goal was to make moves and get Gaudreau and you fail there is no reason he needs to make future moves.

I would fire Fletcher. And i would get a completely outside view. Darche is Tampa. I would have said McFarland in Colorado but they promoted him so not to lose him. Go get me one of the AGM in Nashville as they always seem to find talent and develop it. Scott Nichol, Jeff Keatly or Brian Poile.

Oh look devils getting assets while we give them away we’re going to be a dumpster fire for a good decade

The swami is sweating bullets right now.

So that means maybe they can draft at least one player other teams would want during that time?

Yea do not want to pay 10 mil for him

They just have traded him to open up a forward slot. They do t need the cap room

Yeah I would say that pretty much tells us JG is playing in Newark.

I cant say that I am too broken up about it.

Listen guys, the bias for action begins in a mere 52 minutes....


Not to worry, Chucky's got this!

It's not the player nor the money...it's not the right time. They need to stop making the same mistakes year after year.
