Hey! We suck!
Nothing will evere Trump the fire sale year as far as a dagger to the heart, the only thing that can beat almost losing your team is actually losing it.
However, from a roster/direction standpoint it has never been this bad. Even coming out of the fire sale the fans had hope things would get better, but right now there is no hope, none, zero.
We have one of the oldest rosters in the league, we have traded or waived several young players, refused to trade players despite seeing one of the best sellers markets in history, and in doing so are actively helping a team rebuild their own future from our mistakes.
Sometimes being a good GM is about doing the things you would prefer not to do to make your team better. It also may mean making some hard decisions to have some stability in the franchise. Not only is Trotz not doing the things he needs to do to make the team better the team has zero stability.
If I were a young player in this franchise I would be demanding a trade, if I were in college I would refuse to sign. I would have zero confidence that the franchise would get me in a place to succeed and making a good living.

Trotz getting a wake up call? I don't think he thinks he has made any mistakes! He IS Barry Fricken Trotz and he will do whatever he wants!

He probably just didn't want Schenn in Winnipeg. Like we have to worry about dumb things like that since a) we're not playing Winnipeg, and b) even if we were it would actually HELP us against them if Schenn was playing for them. That or he just thought it would be really mean to send Schenn to some frozen wasteland or something. And he probably does believe considerations like those ARE worth more than a lousy 2nd round pick.
Any updates on Josi?
I know he was “week to week” but to I feel like his injury might be worse than that?

Some of us were guessing concussion, which he has a history of, and I would be surprised if they bring him back this season if that is the case. That said, whoever knows with how vague they are with injuries.
Hope you’re all ready for another season of Brunette behind the bench……
Trotz basically said today that he either likes you or he doesn't. If he doesn't he wants to move you out and doesn't really care about value. If he likes you he will give you chance after chance until you finally succeed. He didn't really explain how folks got assigned to like/not like status.
Glad I already told them I wouldn't be renewing my tickets because Trotz is an idiot.
What a f***ing idiot.
Honest question. If you’re the agent of a player that’s in the NCAA, are you letting your player sign with the Predators or are you advising them to play out there college career and then becoming an UFA?

Hey! We suck!
Based on Trotz's comments about Duchene and Ekholm him disliking you means you probably have talent.

Ain't no way in hell I'm telling my client not to finish out his career and choose his own location if he is drafted by the Preds. Yeah you might not make it anyways but I'd rather make it on my own merit rather than whether some old, bald, no neck having GM likes me or not. Especially when I don't even know what like means in this case. Duchene already proved it has nothing to do with production.
