Proposal: Free agency edition Trade Rumours/Proposals [MOD - Stay on Topic] 5

[Senator Stanley]

I'm assuming Colin White.

I just noticed that he played 28 games last year and didn't record a single point. This is a guy who once put up 41 points (playing next to Stone but still). Something ain't right there and though I liked the guy when he was here I wouldn't even give him a two-way at this point. Something has gone very wrong in his career.

That one outlier season aside, his career reminds me a lot of Curtis Lazar. Mid teens pick by that same Sens scouting staff. Both offensive players coming up, but once they got to the NHL level their lack of puck skills was exposed and their games imploded. Like Lazar, I could see White eventually establishing himself in a 4th line checking role if he can stick with it. Like Lazar, he's big enough, he skates well enough, and he's a good character guy.

 

[Samboni]

Colin who?

Doh!! My bad, I was referring to Colin White. I edited my original post to reflect the change. The article alluded that his early success could probably be attributed to playing with Brady and Stone.

Both guys boosted by Stone. Zack Smith another guy. We should have used the Stone effect to trade these players, instead we signed them ourselves and we traded Stone...

 

[R2010]

Idk if that's a great idea...

Yorkie was an excellent hockey player. Has previously coached and been an NHL analyst. So for now i'll give him the benefit of the doubt if it was him.

So many players we had the chance to sell high on. Where we should have known who they were but we just ended up fooling ourselves

Sounds like the overhaul on the development side could be happening shortly per Martian/LOSP. Hinted it could include someone from the CiH podcast. Possibly Yorkie? Simmer?

Nope and nope for those two.

Are we just hiring people that cover the sens lol.

Is this the same position that Winchester and Donovan had?

Seems a bit strange. Not a huge fan of Jason York but seems like a good guy at least.
The hires are getting progressively less impressive, for me anyway. Won’t judge to early though.

 

[BondraTime]

Player development staff is always filled with guys who played, like others have said.

York has had a 20+ year hockey career, knows what he's doing and talking about, has been involved with developing junior aged kids on and off for the past decade, from the city, and has family ties in the organization.

Not a surprising hire, and one that fits

Unlike Redden, he lives in the city, so that seems like a plus.

It wasn’t any of the CiH hosts, it was Mendes and Sly.
Edit: I see now, on top of Sly and Mendes.

 

[BondraTime]

They filled the communications side, Yorkie was hired for the Development position that Martian was referencing I believe

Seperate rumours, the Mendes/Sly hires are in the comms department, the CiH guys are linked to a development staff hire that has yet to be announced

Ya I updated. Probably while you were typing.

First NHL game in 1992-93, last NHL game in 2006-07. How is that a 20+ year career? Also, he's been out of the NHL for 17 years now. I mean he's a smart guy (even beyond that incredibly irritating nickname Wallace gives him) but he's not exactly relevant to the modern NHLer.

Well he did broadcasting in the NHL, then coached at the junior level. Not like he hasn’t been involved.

BondraTime said hockey career, not NHL, which is basically accurate if you include his OHL and AHL years.

Ah yes, the same meaning we've always had when talking about a player's career.

I mean if you really think about it, his "career" could extend back to the first time he skated. You know? And if he's still skating in a beer league these days, we could extend his career to that time too. So, Jason York is bringing somewhere around 50 years of career experience in hockey to the role. Really, it's one of those things that makes sense when you think about it and also makes sense when you don't think about it.

Why are you being so pedantic about this?

A career is what you've done to make a living. Playing beer league hockey doesn't count. Nor does tying up your skate laces for the first time.

Just pointing out the distinction of the claim that you were disputing. Agree or disagree, their statement was correct is all. As to the merit of the hire, I like what I hear from York but couldn't possibly weigh in on his fit for the position.

York played hockey for over 20 years at a level that maybe .1% of athletes ever reach. Wtf are you talking about.

Hopefully just being facetious, Pendatic or just hyperbole.
