Ownership and Management

[Cookie La Rue]

So, just what do the Sedin's do?

Should be playin' again?

Hopefully reviewing their collective library of notes they’ve recorded on what not to do in an executive role of an NHL franchise.

They need a bigger hard drive for that.

. Meyer's and somewhere just under $2M for a 2027 2nd and a 2029 4th. Great deal!

You’ve omitted the immeasurable value of removing one of the least coordinated hockey players I’ve ever seen play pro hockey! To move that out is worth its weight in gold!

[Topper]

The Meyers deal is low hanging fruit. A year from now and $3M, he's retired.

Instead for just under $2M management bought a couple of tokens to shoot over inflated basketballs into spring loaded bushell baskets at the PNE.

No matter how many tokens you have, it is still an over inflated basketballs and a spring loaded bushell basket.

Three is absolutely no reason to celebrate this deal.

[BoS]

No one is celebrating anything.

Most here are just eager to purge the cesspool of failure from top down, while grasping at any reason to actually stick around this gdhmb

[Topper]

I stopped grasping for things to stick around here over a year ago and no longer give a shit.

And yet, here you are

As BoS mentioned, no one is celebrating any of this.

This is just a teardown of a downtown eastside, rat infested motel so far. No one here is planning a SC parade tomorrow.

Clean up starts somewhere. No idea why you are against this - is your solution to keep all these players because the market won't give Mgmt more than a 2nd & 4th round pick? And just let them retire/move on when their contracts end? To what end? Veteran leadership? To cheer for the the player you like, for one more year?

[JelloPuddingPop]

Thank you for confirming I have been, once again, correct all these years.

[Topper]

And yet, here you are

And still don't give a shit

See this is where I don't agree with you Topper.

Even if we shitcanned these bozos tomorrow and got Scotty Bowman Himself to run the team, there's free agency, there's the waiver wire, there's winning trades (when we have nothing but albatrosses to offer) and there's the draft.

Proving that any of these avenues involve more failure than success is like shooting fish in a barrel, but that doesn't actually open up any other options... other than changing the channel to watch the Spurs game.

You bet your low hanging fruit bowl I'm celebrating this deal.

Watching the Chaos giraffe for 7 years has been an exercise in weed management (other than the Duncan Keith KO....that was pretty solid)

I’d say the return in and of itself (2 picks) is decent. But certainly Not something to shout at the sky in triumph over.

More than anything, the retention (as you point out) stands as an indictment of this management group’s ineptitude over the past 3 (plus) years.

Draft capital is nothing we should be getting too optimistically excited over though if this current regime are going to still be holding the reins…..they’ll fuck it up. And even if they don’t, then ownership will get impatient and insist that young players be rushed in the moment they have a couple of good games on the farm.

A question for you Tops, Maybe you’ve said it before and I’ve forgotten, taking the retention out of the equation, do you think keeping Myers as one of 3 “keeper” vets to mentor young players would be more valuable than the 2nd and 4th?

That's the question I've been mulling over (not that anyone asked). I'm still not sold either way.

The positive is that it opens a spot for a younger version of Myers to be signed as a UFA.
