Exit Interviews

Optimal steps after this:
> Nashville fires Trotz as GM
> We hire Trotz as a proper coach
(Bonus) > Nashville hires Cronin as GM

Now this guy. This guy doesnt just cultivate hopium. He mainlines the stuff

So are they doing the rest of the exit interviews anytime soon? Or did the Cronin firing just cancel all of that?

Everyone is drunk from the celebration still... or still drinking and celebrating.

I imagine Zegras serving Ouzo shots and they all team up to play CoD Warzone together. They also have a custom made piñata that looks like Cronin.

Why do they cut out the questions being asked?

Why do they cut out the questions being asked?

I'm guessing to keep it quick and short, but if that's the case they should have at least put the questions on the screen. I was thinking the same thing.

Has Gudas even spoke? He’s the captain of this team and we haven’t heard a single word from him to the media since the season ended.

I definitely think he was part of the “coalition” that went to Verbeek and let him know it was time to move on from Cronin.

But this is Bizarre-o that he still hasn’t spoke 6 days after the season ended

Haven’t had a chance to listen but Leo LaCombe Cutter Zell and McT are on this episode. Seems like it was recorded after the season. Likely more of a puff piece than anything juicy

They had some of the young guys (Carlsson, LaCombe, McTavish, Zellweger, Gauthier) talk on the first day of exit interviews, then Cronin got fired and nobody has been publicly interviewed since. I’m guessing management doesn’t want them to be asked questions about it.

I actually think that might be to the players' benefit if they all hated him that much. The media is going to ask about Cronin, and then they have three options: 1. Meaningless platitudes, 2. Lie and say he was good, 3. Tell the truth that he was terrible. I doubt many players really want to drag the guy's name through the mud, so option 3 is bad for all parties. Option 2 is rough for a lot of players. Option 1 is the best, but it's awkward and dumb and almost as bad as option 2.

So the gag order is probably a blessing for some guys.
