Sorry Hinkie.
Glad Bill said something about it.
That comment was uncalled for-- especially if you follow Sanheim at all.

It's frustrating to do your job day in and day out to make sure it's good work so you don't get canned.
And then you go out and read these trash column full of **** and made up opinions and that guy got paid good money to put that out.

I was going to set off the miscreants on this guy on twitter, but I guess he's behind a paywall to read this crap?
No wonder ESPN is terrible. You have to pay to read idiots type this stuff?

Some teams let young offensively minded players focus on offense, which allows them to reach the NHL faster, but how many of these players subsequently develop a two way game?
Hextall's strategy is to marinate them in juniors and the AHL, which keeps the clock from starting until they're NHL ready, so that you get full benefit of the "cheap" seasons instead of teaching them on the job, and by the time they have real value, they're in the RFA contract.

Yep, props to Meltzer. That was just a cringe worthy comment saying that Sanheim has been slow to develop.

Bill telling Donnellon let the folks who know hockey write about it. go back to writing about the Eagles, or Phillies or something else not hockey related.

Agreed, thanks for sharing. Our media, sans a few individuals (Meltzer, Charlie O'), is just wretched.
Wow, I finally read that original article. That is some AWFUL work. Jesus. Great work by Bill to set his ass on fire.

No, they're not all bad. But here's a dubious challenge. Find a good article written by Smallwood or Hayes, two mainstays and elder statesmen of the Philly Sports Journalist, not beat writers. Those two are wretched, and I'd say the norm of writing standards.
Give me back Don Russell!

Now imagine you do the same job that they do, albeit on a smaller scale, for the merest fraction of their money - a fraction so small that you could barely count it as currency - and actually do take care with your work and do a good job, and your newspaper folds, and you find yourself halfway around the world just to get work, sweating through three or four shirts a day, surrounded by the most venomous snakes on Earth.

Of course I have - I think it's fair to say that not more than 45 minutes pass in a day since I was 5 years old that I haven't thought about this. I know where to go, generally, if I wanted to do it, but I don't want to contribute in any way to animal trafficking, even if it would make my dream come true. (My dream is actually to have seven and to carry them around everywhere with me in a handbag like Paris Hilton with her posh little dog.)

Well, you're not as confused as he is.
The worst part is listening them to lecture everyone on how important journalism is and how it's dying because of the internet and people not wanting to pay for content. What they lack in awareness these hacks make up in superiority complexes.

We know your first name and where you live.

He's not making a decision until after the ED. I doubt he comes here though. The Flyers have too many numbers upfront for this year. He might get a better shot at playing in the NHL this year elsewhere.
