I respect Damacus' opinion but Sutter absolutely has the say over the roster.

 

[KingTrouty]

I respect Damacus' opinion but Sutter absolutely has the say over the roster.

I don't know why a GM would even allow that.

Are you talking ice time and who plays ? Sure, coaches handle that.

You guys can't tell me that Sutter wants a guy like Purcell on the roster.

Or Seto.

I respect his opinion, too. But you're right.

DL is responsible for player acquisition (player personnel) and drafting, DS is responsible for how he uses the talent that DL assembles. It's that easy.

No Seto and Purcell are DL

But DS has no better options

The GM has to make sure that the coach thinks the player would fit the system. So I would say that it's the GM asking the coach, "Do you want him on the roster"?

 

[Kingspiracy]

Not sure that I like Kopi getting all theatrical again.

 

[damacles1156]

The GM has to make sure that the coach thinks the player would fit the system.

Ultimately, who makes that call though, That would be Dean Lombardi, the President and GM of ALL Hockey operations.

 

[KingTrouty]

That's what I am saying.

My original point was that Forbort and Gravel playing (or not playing) was a DS decision. They were already in the King's system, meaning DL had already acquired them (draft)

Check my edited post.

Cmon Kings, let's pot one Carts!!!!!!!

 

[Vamos Rafa]

We can get away with giving OT points to non-Western teams but we have to start winning in regulation against the West.

Forbort got sat for poor play, then sent down. Sure, Sutter could have asked for that.

Gravel played Five games, then was sent down,ultimately that is a Dean Lombardi Decision. Lombardi could have simply said (NO).

 

[kingsholygrail]

They try to be so ****ing fancy. It's infuriating.

 

[KingTrouty]

Carter wtf lol

 

[HookKing]

Jeezus.

 

[Herby]

That is as pathetic a 4 on 3 PP as you will ever see.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

My God this PP

You're telling me that DL sent down Gravel on his own whim?

 

[Little Psycho]
