Continuing to not support HF.
Glad to see she's still female full-time. I get the need to adjust from time to time, but you need someone willing to stay committed to what works.

The phrasing of it is stupid. Also they need to stop making this into a big deal and just talk her up for the great work she's done so far and her talent because the NHL has been hiring a lot of women in upper management roles as well and it's great to see teams exploring every avenue to find talent in all levels of management and coaching.

Yea it reminded me of the Tony Dungy v Lovie Smith in the SB thing years back. You'd think their accomplishments would overshadow their skin color, gender, etc. But the MSM loves pumping these stories since it makes the casual soccer mom all warm and fuzzy inside.

Yeah, I think the more they emphasize "first female" and less they emphasize the job she did in the AHL and why she got the job, it makes it seem like a diversity hire rather than a merit hire.

Buffalo trading arguably their top prospect certainly for Ryan McLeod certainly is a choice.
They were rumored to be interested in Eller. If they were offering anything remotely close to that value, Dubas needs tarred and feathered. Eller has no trade protection per capfriendly.

Are there any rumours of problems with Savoie? Seems a huge head scratcher from their perspective.

You'll be happy to know Lars Eller doesn't have even half the value of Ryan McLeod.
I think there have always been questions about how his game at 5'9 is going to translate to the NHL, but not enough questions to make people think he'll be an outright bust.

They’re the Buffalo Sabres. It’s kind of what they do.
No ****. Ryan McLeod also isn’t worth a prospect of Savoie’s pedigree either. They’re a stupid team doing stupid things. Need to pounce on those opportunities. If we could have got a 2nd for Eller it would have been a heist.

Certainly not with Dubas negotiating. I should just be happy he didn’t pay Buffalo a 2nd to take Eller.

This is the kind of self-inflicted, almost intentionally stupid move that keeps Buffalo in eternal rebuild mode.
I wonder why Adams didn't call Dubas up and offer Savoie for picks. We know Dubas has no problem with small forwards. We would've had him scouted, since played with Yager in Moose Jaw. Either Adams didn't call Dubas up, or Dubas has a problem with Savoie for reasons unrelated to his size.

Why would Edmonton want picks? They just got a soon-to-be NHL read top prospect.
If we accept the idea that Savoie was an overpay for McLeod, by definition that means they could've given up less for McLeod than they did.

Uhhhh, no. If I have a banana, and you have 4 apples but really just want a banana, I could ask for all of your apples, simply because I really like bananas too, and you want it. Just because 4 apples might be worth more than 1 banana doesn't mean I'm willing to part with the banana for 2, or 3, or anything less than 4. It takes two people with two motivations to make a deal. If a team said hey we want Rust because he's a vet NHL wing with playoff pedigree, and we're willing to give our top prospect for him - just because you agree doesn't mean you would have traded him for a couple of picks if they offered that.

Dubas catching heat on here for the Savoie-McLeod swap is diabolical player-hating

I hope this Oilers GM guy is not the new guy, he's making nice moves non stop. He's already done better then any GM in the McDrai era on paper.

Yeah. She's a great coaching prospect that has been a breath of fresh air for usual hires and she's someone that has been sought out by players to help them with their game. Emphasize that vs "first full time female!" - it's like the NHL is saying "look we treat sexual assault towards men and women like pure shit but see we also hire women!"

The amount of times when I played rugby I'd hear "for a black guy from the UK you're good." Like just tell me I was good without telling me where the f*** I'm from or the color of my skin. I am fully aware of being black in the sport, trust me. Just like the women know how hard they had to work to get the same job, they don't need the patronizing or the shitty marketing ploy.
