Player Discussion: Josh Ho-Sang
- Thread starter PK Cronin
- Start date
He's only got an AHL contract just now, but I'd LOVE to see Toronto sign Ho-Sang and bring him up.
That would make my day.

A player going to Toronto and being better than before?
Certainly a change from the norm. Most players improve only after they leave there.
Not saying he will, just 'if'.

“It’s not that New York didn’t care about me, New York was amazing. They were kind and they tried their best to figure me out. I was just so different from what they wanted and that’s on me, not them.” Said the 25-year-old. “It’s just this environment is a lot more suited to my personality.“

I was one of those who were mesmerized by some of his skills way back when. I jumped off the bandwagon long ago.
I just read the article. He sounds more like a philosopher, poet or a musician rather than a hockey player. Back in the day he would’ve been the guy traveling cross country to see the Grateful Dead tour.
I truly wish him well. Success in the NHL is not in his future.

Still "I" before "team"... not sure he'll ever get it.
We're the biggest "team" team in the NHL, so not surprising he never figured out how to embrace that. He should fit right in on the most "I" team in the NHL if he gets called up...

Must win.
We should start a Discount Rack thread.
A place where we can dump all the flotsam and jetsam. I’m just not sure how to categorize Ho-Sang. Is he flotsam or jetsam?

Ho Sang thinks he's flotsam, but his coach is certain he's jetsam. So he's sitting out.

Jetsam is stuff you deliberately jettison overboard, to try and save the ship. Flotsam is what floats away when the ship flounders or actually sinks. (Note the roots of the words.)
There's an important legal difference. Jetsam you have thrown away, so it belongs to whoever finds it. Flotsam is stuff you wanted to keep, so a finder is entitled to only a finders fee.
JHS is jetsam.

Neither is garbage.
If your ship is in danger of sinking, and you throw off a barrel of rum to lighten her, it becomes jetsam. If I find it, it's mine.
If you do nothing and the ship sinks and the same barrel floats away, it's flotsam. If I find it, I'm entitled to a percentage of its value, but it's still yours.

JHS is like the guy at work that shows up 10 mins late, leaves 10 mins early. Sounds articulate in meetings, has goals set high, you believe he will reach them every time he speaks, until the next meeting, same pattern occurs, and you find out you are still in the planning stage of a Project.

As much as I join in the joking, I agree. JHS doesn't seem like a bad guy at all. Just a round peg in square holes. It would be a good story if he made his talent work.
