I agree. It's like, hey, we're all part of the Preds family, they can do no wrong and we can answer questions that we feel are Preds friendly. I grew up in NY and you want to talk about a different approach. I get guys don't want to lose their media privileges; however, if they're asking legit questions, that's no way to run a franchise and interact with the media. Trotz has been transparent on a lot of levels. Unfortunately, he and Brunette aren't challenged enough by the media.
I'd be asking, from the advanced stats and eye test, Fabbro appears to be one of our top 4 defensemen yet finds the press box and even got usurped in the lineup by a call up, how did you land on this decision?
The team has talked about bringing up the young guys, a couple each year and integrating them into the lineup - if that's the case, why have Tomasino and Parssinen been given limited minutes without appearing to have made any egregious mistakes on the ice?
I'd probably last about a week if I was given access.
