You mean in 2010? You expect a GM to resign from a winning team?
Seems kind of a weird thing to be pissed off at someone about. Are you gonna retire voluntarily if there's someone that THINKS they can do a job better than you? Let's keep in mind Stevie has not won a Cup yet, and there are multiple questionable contracts on the roster now.
Or is it that as GM you automatically have to give up your job to a superstar player? Should Ovechkin ask for the Caps GM job?
They all have orders from the owner, it's up to GM to implement the plan by picking the players in UFA, trades, and draft. Bad deals happen when forced to pick from the few good players in free agency, just look at Copp as an example.
At this point, I actually want the Oilers to win because I hate the other 3 teams. Oilers win and we get to laugh at all of the Holland haters, lol.
oh good lord. That's quite a string of strawmen you've put together there. I guess I should be grateful it's not about Copp.
I don't expect anything. It's not like I or even Yzerman asked Holland to step aside. Ilitch did.
I'm not pissed off about it but if you get off on pretending I'm upset, I don't want to kink shame.
Oh man. Yes of course obviously yes as a GM I think you automatically have to give the job up for any superstar player who feels like they wanna give it a shot regardless of their experience or qualifications or frankly even interest. Yes, OV should automatically get the GM job. Hell they should give it to him now. He can be player GM. You've interpreted what I've said exactly as I so obviously intended it and haven't misrepresented it at all.
(to be clear that last paragraph was sarcasm because the assertions were so stupid I didn't know how else to respond to them)
This all started from me simply stating why I couldn't bring myself too root for the Oilers. Watching people heap praise on Holland as we're here hoping the Wings make the playoffs in the wake of his mess.
My reasons at least involve hockey. You're apparently rooting for a team because it'll upset random Wings fans on the internet (again, not kink shaming). Not exactly the moral or logical high ground.
