Vincent Desharnais
Dakota Joshua
Lazar

Who am I missing?

Do these cats not think things through before pulling triggers? They remind me of Pakistani parade goers firing off AK-47’s into the sky.

A lot of those trades also could have been a result of misreading how to fix the lockerroom issue... the search for a veteran to tell the boys to settle down.

Sprong

Dakota was a Tocchet guy, the coach loved him. More evidence of a not so harmonious relationship between coaching and management when it comes to player personnel. It will be interesting to see the kind of years Hoglander and Petey have under Foote.

I feel like Chef has gotten better about acknowledging the successes and failures of each management team, but yes, it also feels like his standards are not consistent.

Yeah it seems he prefers Lennie Small above all.

It’s peculiar, certainly. One can also look at the contracts given to Miller and to Pettersson in recent years and how quickly they fell out of favour afterwards. It’s all so very interesting. Does management need to revaluate themselves and why they do what they do?

Chef just sat down on the couch cracking his first beer after a hard day, trying to chill and you’re hitting me hard. You’re harshing my mellow.

Agreed in part. Tocchet also called Dak out several times. Once showing up to camp unprepared. You have to believe that the Flyers would have done their due diligence and if he was such a Tocchet guy they would have been interested. Hey maybe they were and offered a 4th with retention.

I can tolerate their signing mistakes given their ability to move on from these mistakes. DAK for 3 years at 3.25 was a mistake.

Didnt the old man deal with yellow teeth post nut removal and also decide to move on from him as well?

The old man doesn't want one nutters

The thing I don't like about him going to Tarrana is that by acquiring Joshua the Leaves now have more balls than they did before.

*But less balls per person

No.

The Leaves officially now have half a set of balls.....which is more than they had last year.

Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Fri Jul 18, 2025 9:38 am No I'm talking about the other two camps where he had more chins than a Chinese phone book. Try to keep up. They have tons of cheap winger depth in the system. But if you think trading Dakota Joshua and shedding 3.25 million is gutting the team, you do you.

They can also move out some cap in a deal for a solid centre. It's a really neat thing.

So, the out of shape camp where he got .5ppg bothers you that much? BTW, I wasn't paying attention to how many chins ge had, i am totally taking your word on it. But, yeah, trading Joshua and Chytil and likely other assets is a gutting of our team. What AHL plug is filling Joshua's role as an agitator with grit? Karlsson? Aman?
Lekkerimaki should make the team, but he is not gritty.

And, I still don't know what solid center they are getting back in this process. Who do you classify as a solid center that won't cost us Chytil and another asset, and Joshua's Cap space?

For a guy who claims to like assholes, you seem to undervalue this particular asshole.
