Fire NoNeck.Predators center Ryan O’Reilly expected to remain in Nashville
Darren Dreger: Believe that the Dallas Stars are/were willing to extend Mikko Rantanen upwards of $12 million. That is well short of what he may be wanting.
Multiple sources saying there was plenty of interest in ROR and he won't be traded because he doesn't want to leave. Absolute GM malpractice.
I'm told that ROR did not want to go to Toronto even though there was an offer on the table.
I'm OK on not trading him to Toronto. Even with no NTC, ROR had done Toronto, he hated it, that would be shitty to send him back. They also mostly have shit for assets. A New Jersey or similar though, different story.
I just don't think it should work that way. You want movement protection, give up some money for it like everyone else. Otherwise you get what you get in this business. Unless apparently you have Trotz for a GM.
If we had two similar offers, I'm fine doing him a solid, but if we're talking about a 1st+ being left on the table, we HAVE to make the deal even if he isn't excited about it
Yeah, I mean obviously I have no problem with talking to the player and giving him his choice of two good offers. But giving up on getting assets entirely is shooting yourself in the foot, because other GMs don't operate that way.
Vrana played for... you guessed it BT in Washington. Good ol boy network.
I may be nuts here with all the bad things Trotz has done, but out of all of them the Duchene thing ticks me off the most. Gets rid of him because he was just "here to retire" and then turn around and spend a billion dollars on a bunch of old past their prime players?? Insanity. Duchene was still good, loved it here and wanted to be here- smh. He completely got screwed over. And we are now paying him to produce great numbers for a division rival?? Absolute insanity.
Remember it was for... CULTURE. Where is this culture now? The fans are rebelling, the players are being traded/waived/whatever and the team is probably the worst they have EVER been! Is that the CULTURE he was wanting to bring in? All with the non-retiring old guys! How does the Ownership just sit on their hands and let BT do this to the team? Someone has got to say/do something! STH are dropping like fly's!
Nope. We are going to roll out the same crap next season plus whatever other old garbage he can pick up.
There's a significant probability of that happening. Mentioned it earlier in the season - we're now in the period where teams stop taking us seriously and start giving, like, 90% instead of 110% and starting their backups rather than their starters.
