I’m rooting for him. It was and will always be about health for him. Seemed like whenever he was on a roll here he would get an injury or nagging injury and he wasn’t playing 100% or at all.

If its Casey or Silayev - do it. I dont care. We have two other defensemen (Nemec, Silayev, Casey) to trade one without a doubt. Even if we will lose the trade - its exactly what we need(player, not to lose a trade).

How did anything he say (even if dumb for someone in his position) even skirt with tampering? What could he say about his own player possibly not wanting to play on his team be considered tampering in anyway?
I get he was half joking and treading water at the end realizing he over shared, but still, not sure if there is any even remote connection to tampering.

longer the canucks wait the less of a return they get for quinn. at some point you just wait out the clock and sign him for free ufa. devils though have to make sure they arent trending down or treading water
Way to tank his trade value. If they decide to trade him as a rental in two years, they’re not getting poop for him.
Nemec for Quinn—one for one. Do it FITZ
I’m no tampering expert, but the part where he mentions bringing his brothers to Vancouver is pretty sketch.

Probably but should we really be the ones to ding him on tampering charges? He might retaliate by keeping him as long as possible then trading him to the Rangers or Carolina for peanuts just to annoy us if he can’t resign him lol
Not like we don’t still have the upper hand since two > one

That makes sense, I guess I took that comment more of, "He wants to play with his brothers, and thats out of my control unless I do the impossible and get his brothers here, which I can't do," basically reiterating that if he wants to play with his brothers bad enough, he's walking.

Right? We went from “we’re going down in four” to “will Luke give up forty-three?”
If I were Fitz I would call JB and be like “hey
Stupid, you’re taking Nemec, two seconds and a first for Quinn the second the season is over. If not, I’m filing tampering charges and we’re taking your 15th overall pick and Quinn in two years.”

Rags will be too busy trying to set up for McDavid and the Canes are never trading for a rental piece again of high quality after what happened with Rantanen and Guentzel
I find it incredibly bleak that we keep seeing an already small pool of head coaches get recycled by and even smaller pool of recycled GM’s.
The job of a coach is different from the other sports. In football the head coach is at the top of the organization chart, plus teams only play 17 games a year. That buys time. Basketball is more about managing relationships with the best players, which drive results. Baseball the field manager basically doesn’t exist anymore, the manager does what the front office tells them to do.
The coach’s job in the NHL is to manage the short term. To drive results for a individual games and for a season, while the GM oversees roster construction for a multi season window and a President of Hockey Ops oversees big picture stuff from building scouting staffs, minor leagues ect. So it isn’t surprise that coaches in the NHL have shorter tenures. And given there job is to manage short term it isn’t surprising to see more of a carousel of coaches being fired and rehired. The ones being rehired are mostly guys who have shown they can get short term success (John Hynes excepted).

I'll be a fair and give them Mercer too!
I think the funniest thing about this whole ordeal is after a full season of nonstop drama that Quinn had to deal with and constant interviews about the drama he's now going to have to deal with this shitstorm that his own GM is throwing his way.
