It's one of many red flags across multiple organizations. He was posting vacation photos on IG last season when he was supposed to be rehabbing from injury. Got healthy scratched by the Sharks earlier this year after blowing off another rehab session. I'm not saying he's a bad person, he's just not someone you want on a winning team.
Ready to eat crow for saying Walman had negative value like last week?
He argued for pages and pages that Walman had negative value. He has to double down and continue to hate him even more now.
I feel like regular people probably shouldn't be the arbiters of the lives of athletes; they make millions living life in a way that just isn't really relevant to us.
I'll house a crow buffet if I don't have to watch Walman play hockey for the Sharks anymore.
Yes because by all accounts Goodrow is a leader and a professional off the ice and was an integral part of two Cup winning teams on it. That's the kind of person you want on a rebuilding team with an extremely young core. How is this difficult to understand?And yet, you'll go to the hilt to defend Goodrow
A first and Emberson lolsooooo… what do we think? A 1st and Savoie?
Goodrow leads absolutely nothing except the list of players that shouldn't be on an NHL roster anymore.
O’Reilly. Savoie is too short and Grier likes ‘em big.sooooo… what do we think? A 1st and Savoie?
You remind me of my good buddy @EdJovanovski but at least he has some consistency with the types of players he hates and likes.
It's more about where the Sharks are in the rebuild right now. If this was the early 2010s and we had Jumbo, Pavs and Boyle leading the way then sure go ahead and bring in a guy or two with less than perfect professionalism in the hopes that the leadership group can whip them into shape. This team is built around teenagers so we need to be much more selective with who is kept around long term. It was never going to make any sense to extend Walman IMO.
Hey, I think Goodrow is our third longest tenured player now.
Walman objectively had negative trade value a few months ago when we acquired him. Even that Frank Seravalli report people clung to merely stated other teams would have charged Detroit a lesser price than a 2nd to take his contract, not that anyone was willing to cough up positive assets.
This is a way more reasonable take. There's a pretty large chasm between saying he has less than perfect professionalism and doesn't fit culture wise for the current stage of the rebuild and calling him a loser on and off the ice because he's a 30 year old obsessed with Fortnite.
