Around the League Thread | Pre-Season Approaches

[EpochLink]

I've been refusing to say his name since the playoffs, because he's a gigantic loser. But to summarize some key points - he thinks Vancouver fans are douchey, likes Oilers fans because they wear jeans and blue collars, had the news and lead the cheerleading charge for Stan Bowman returning to the NHL for the Oilers, and is now somehow sitting there "baffled" that a noted asshole like Tony Deangelo is sitting without a contract.

If I missed any of this moron's greatest hits, someone feel free to fill in the blanks.

Oh I know who you’re talking about, guy looks like he’s 50 but is in his mid 30’s, overweight and fat, triple chin bitch ass? Yeah I know who you are talking about.

f*** that guy.

It's baffling that a guy who was already on his last chance for multiple racist incidents before he reached the NHL and then got kicked off his team and was out of the NHL for a year despite being 24 years old and coming off a 62 point/82 GP season can't find a job when he's 29 coming off an 11 point season. So strange! Can't figure it out!

He's basically only going to sign with a 'weird' team that does weird things and he's already used up Philly and Carolina so Edmonton is the only place left really. The other 29 teams wouldn't touch this guy with a 10-foot pole even if he scored 50 points.

Servalli? lol

Servalli? lol

Yes, that is the culprit.

f*** that guy.

Don't care about his weight, but holy f*** I thought dude was like 57.

Also he speaks with the mannerisms of like an incel/political grifter podcast type, so aside from him discovering the fountain of age, most of this shouldn't be surprising.

For privacys sake let's call him Frank S. No that's too obvious. Let's say F. Seravalli

 

[Phrasing]

The pick traded for OEL and Garland just turned into a massive contract. Wish Canucks had Guenther.

Hunter Haight's ELC will only just begin this year.

OEL cup wins: 1
Guenther cup wins: 0

I liked the city.

The people were incredibly awful though.

Sounds like what people say abut Vancouver.

Josh Norris out again

That guys shoulder is so done

I'm glad I spent some time in Australia and Europe in my early to mid 20s. I came back here and realized the flaws of this city. There are far too many introverts that have no idea how to interact or mingle in real life. That or the people here are cliquey. The city also has a weird tendancy to completely shut down at 9pm in the summer.

As a parent of 3....I would rather have it no other way.

Poor kid, career in serious jeopardy before it really gets going.

Happy for him he got that guacamole already though.

"Pettersson's number starts with a 12" Pettersson resigns for 11.6M
"Hronek will sign for at least 8M if he stays in Vancouver." Hronek resigns for 7.25M

I love how he kept pushing both talking points and was wrong on both.

OEL cup wins: 1
Guenther cup wins: 0

My annual "f*** Jim Benning"

I believe it’s for precautionary reasons. Sens camp has a lot of rough and physical players and they probably don’t want him getting Clarke MacArthur’d day 2 of camp by a nobody.

Their camp looks intense with the amount of physicality and rough stuff being reported.

His opinions are garbage and, amazingly, have got only worse in the last year. He also has a really solid track record on getting Canucks rumours right and before anyone else. He was the guy that reported Pettersson had re-signed and got the severity of Mikheyev's knee injury months before anyone else.

Granted, all that means is I have to listen to him and write-up summaries. This is my burden.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Frank Seravelli. The only 30 something in the world wanting to look like a 50 year old Jay Leno.

I use to like Frank. Now he's a clown.

 

[Jerry the great]

kind of ironic he signs that contract on the same day Dawson Mercer signed his deal (almost exactly 12 months too late)

chicago?

 

[timw33]

chicago?

They are on their absolute best behaviour against "weird" stuff happening with their team post Kyle Beach.

 

[MS]

chicago?

As @timw33 already noted they are on their super-extra best behaviour since the Beach stuff and fired Corey Perry out of a cannon after a borderline incident. They aren't touching baggage like this.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

You just know our previous GM would have signed him to a 3 year X 3.5 mil AAV contract with a NMC this summer.

We would probably have Klingberg and OEL on our 2nd pairing.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Hopefully oilers sign TDA

 

[im gangster]

Maybe Coach Rick can reach the troubled DeAngelo boy.

Man, that pairing would have gotten turnstiled on the regular.

Like Howie Meeker used to say... "like a hoop around a barrel".
