I don't know if you all saw this but this honestly made my blood boil a little bit. Here is a guy who passionately wants to stay in Nashville. I'm not saying Duchene doesn't have warts but not giving him a chance in Brunette's system is always going to stick out as idiotic to me.

Especially if it went down the way he is saying where he met with the team and they asked for his buy in and he agreed and then was put on waivers shortly after... That's a little messed up.

Again only one side of the story but unfortunately its kind of the side I trust right now.

Yeah, if that’s how it played out it’s definitely not a good look for Trotz. It’s one side of the story but it’s the players side and other players are going to listen to it.

It’s definitely cutthroat and if the Predators are going to have a cutthroat mentality at the management level like Vegas, they better start winning, winning a lot and winning fast.

If they are going to be cutthroat then ok...but if we turn around and retain money to send Stamkos back to Tampa at some point then I'm ready to riot. Also should have fired the coach about 20 games ok if that is the mindset.

Actually, this may kind of explain some other moves like Fabbro, Tomasino, and Askarov. I know Fabbro was also devastated and really loved being in Nashville. He also pulled a slasher move on Hynes when that went down, publicly talking up Hynes and how he was really interested in helping him improve and seconds later whipping the rug out from under him.

One interpretation is Barry's just gutting the roster and the pipeline with quick, knee-jerk moves to get rid of everything Poile had a hand in. Anyone's guess as to the reasoning. Might be nothing more than, "Look at me! I'm the big man on campus!" Might be he really wanted to break things so bad that he could get several high draft picks and fantasy league rebound the franchise.

Whatever. It's a dumpster fire on a train wreck and he owns it.

Ok, I'm just gonna say it. We are having a horribly frustrating year, but the Sabres are showing us what true misery as a franchise really is.

And they actually started the season decent, and I'm sure for the first month their fans had some hope.

Can't imagine that kind of fan experience.
