Speculation: Armchair GM Thread

[bdub24]

I was just thinking this morning. I was excited and nostalgic and happy when Trotz was announced as Poile’s successor. Then we landed some names. Everything on paper was exciting. What a cluster f***.

Not a good time to be an NHL or NFL fan in Nashville. Does anyone truly believe that either GM has the ability to either select draft picks, make intelligent trades, pick the right coach, or recruit top notch free agents? I know I for one have no confidence in Trotz or Carthon to make correct decisions.

It goes down like this I’ll only call Trotz the AntiPoile from now on

My daughter says that Poile was the "Architect of Mediocrity".

Trotz could be the "Bringer of Doom" in my book!

Mr Doom? Dr Doom? The End of all Things (Holy or Good)?

This is going to suck. I might need to take a break from this team for a bit.

Like until 2030?

Pärssinen has no value at this point. He sits in the pressbox and is probably only avoiding waivers because Trotz already looks like a dumbass for Fabbro and Tomasino. Novak is lucky to get 12 mins a night under Bruno and hed probably rather have sissons as 3C tbh. Those two are treated as spare parts to be dealt with.

Wood is a bigger guy that isnt overly physical and not fleet of foot.

None of these guys really fit the team identity. Doesnt mean we should have to pay this much but also players that dont really fit the teams direction.

Why not keep Novak? He is smaller, not overly physical and not that fleet of foot.

Some of it is maybe passable yada yada GM speak and then he just starts trying to gaslight us into thinking Bruno is maximizing this roster.

I thought that Bruno is minimizing this roster? That is why the Preds are in 31st / 32nd place!

Hell, I'm not sure I'll be above ground by then at the rate things are currently going.

You know the old saying.

If Hell freezes over, we will play hockey down there too.

(The flip side is that Kronwall will be down there on the other team!)

Heh, i’m a patriots and Preds fan. Both are in contention to get number one.
