Yes, I agree Torts is wired to win and will coach that way, thus its up to Briere to take away his options so the young players get in the game and can be evaluated.

He would have to stop extending all the players he should be trading away though.

As expected, here comes the fallacies and the fantasy. It's hysterical that you would post and actually prove my point. Without any awareness of doing so. You're not a serious person and nobody is going to take you serious until you change

cracks me up. I mean you are such a serious guy on this internet thing. well respected. SME. posters look up to you.

No but it embarassing that you will not admit that Risto is playing very good hockey right now and has been this entire year!

so why would the CO-GM/Coach, who is tyrig to make the playoffs, has a little over a year left on his contract want to trade his best dman? that goes against wanting to make the playoffs no?

The post I responded to said that he would be traded without retention. I thought it was a valid follow up question.

There will be a lot of teams that will be able to fit in Ristolainen's prorated daily cap hit for this season at the deadline but he is not an expiring UFA. He has two more years of term after this season. That's the issue. Eats up tagging space.

Have you seen how slow he is?

now you are embarrassing yourself. You obviously do not know what you are watching, if you are watching at all.
