I think it’s pretty obvious they only signed Foote to be an AHL player, he only got NHL games this year because of our outrageous injury luck. He’s at best the #9 or #10 D on the depth chart.
I agree on both counts, but I was talking about more for the offseason? Ullmark has one more year on his deal, but I believe Swayman is an RFA and due for another raise.
I could realistically see a scenario where they decide to trade the last year of Ullmark's deal and extend Swayman for a pretty decent amount, which would tie up too much cap space if they were to keep Ullmark's last year?

Probably not quiteThat makes sense. Does Ullmark move the needle behind our D the way he does behind Boston's D?
The team being (technically) owned by the Melnyk daughters at the time probably changes the perspective of the organization.For as much of a joke as Ottawa has been in recent years, they did do away with Formenton as soon as this was becoming a pretty big story, which was around the summer of 2022, if I'm not mistaken.
And I'm not even taking a shot at us or other organizations who let guys continue to play, but I'm just saying for as much as I laugh at Ottawa and as bad as things were with the Dorion regime, at least they were the first team to really do away with one of these guys and banish them.
To me the Lazar trade, Nosek signing, and not qualifying then giving him a one year deal indicates Fitz at the very least was aware McLeod was a risk to commit to cause of this.
If McLeod was actually majorly involved and details as to how involved he was get public, and a few stories come out about how everyone in hockey knew what happened (not even in NJ necessarily even tangential figures like the Melynyk sisters apparently) I could see Fitz having to step down for being the guy that re-signed McLeod. Something just too toxic to have your GM be known for.
If the trial is really not until 2026 though he might just lose his job anyway by then.
Correct but there are dozens of guys they could have chosen.I think it’s pretty obvious they only signed Foote to be an AHL player, he only got NHL games this year because of our outrageous injury luck. He’s at best the #9 or #10 D on the depth chart.
Why?I’d rather be Fitz than Daniel Briere
Ulmark was withering out of the league before Boston. I tend to think it’s Boston’s system propping him upThat makes sense. Does Ullmark move the needle behind our D the way he does behind Boston's D?
That is already shady
Nobody is raping a girl they just had sex with. Already seems to be a money grab.

I shouldn’t say withering he wasn’t that bad but everyone jumped Boston shit on goaltending once they replaced rask with ullmark
Not going to lie, I just couldn't respond. If this is discussion is going to be a sewer like the main board thread then we definitely need a separate thread.Consider logging off this site, permanently.
