John Davidson is a stooge in your eyes. LOL I guess Elmers’s command of the English language is more up your alley.
Well, he did just lose his job because he wouldn't dare confront the League and wanted to distance himself from the statement.
Gorton has done a decent job in NY other than the Trouba contract.,Elmer has a half dozen such contract blunders. But weren’t you and SKYO hoping Vancouver would land Trouba?
Hm, no, I don't think so. Now that I've finally learned how to use the search function, this is the closest I came, in March 2019:

I don't really expect an offer sheet, but I do expect some RFAs will be traded, similar to Ehrhoff. I'd give up next year's first for Trouba.
That pick could be Alexis Lafreniere.
No way in hell would I move that pick
The pick in question wound up being moved for Jimothy Timothy Miller. Gorton wound up sending a 1RP AND a top young defenceman prospect (though I was wrong in my opinion at the time of Pionk, as were many who considered him a throw-in). So Gorton gave up the better player, the 1RP, and put the cherry on top by signing the phat contract extension.
Groton had a nice run in Boston pre Chia. He and Chia (Pre Benning) did most of the heavy lifting for the Bruins cup winner.,
You know, there's gotta be an interesting story in there. Gorton basically transformed that team in a few months as interim GM, Chiarelli gets hired in the summer, and then Gorton is gone.
