That's a good point. We (I) tend to act sometimes like GMs have the final say on everything, when in reality they work for the guys with the millions/billions who probably have their own opinions/desires. For example, for all we know Lou wants to tear it down and do a rebuild and ownership won't let him, so instead he posts here under an assumed name to vent his frustrations.
Agree, tonight feels like a game night too. Thursday games, before an expected lo-key Friday workday are the best.
Lebanc's cap hit is absurd compared to what he provides. It would be like paying Eberle 7+M per.
Here we are a little over a week into the season and we’re one of only four undefeated teams
Everyone is mediocre.
Keep the complaints coming!
And Flyers are tied for 1st.
Keep the complaints coming!
The amount of people clamoring for the Doug Weight days is insufferable, lol...and before they start crying, "That's not what I'm saying!" ...it's what you are saying.
I have said many times on this board. Doug Weight Hockey forever eliminated my agreement with the common refrain that... "at least it's more exciting losing 7-6 (big score) than 2-1 (low score)!"
Totally agree, except I fell like 'asshatery' should have two t's, in 'asshattery' simply because it would jive with English spelling rules when it comes to long vowel and 'magic' e. 100% agree with the rest. Mat Barzal getting 85 points and winning the calder was only a consolation prize to a terrible season. And let's not forget we lost a lot of those games 7 or 8-2, not just 7-6 lol.
Buyer's remorse on a pretty big f***ing scale.
if you put his salary together with Colin Whites buyout salary you could signed an ok player.
lol…. Was late at night for me when I wrote that. Let’s just say I meant to leave the extra “t” off to represent Weight’s attention to defensive detail.
His salary/cap hit was his reward for helping SJ be cap compliant when he took a $1M salary. Like a Snow/Wang backloaded deal.
Wow, didn't realize it was this bad . . .
The jury is officially in: Alexis Lafreniere is a complete bust
I know this isn't Earth Shattering news and many people already felt that way/knew but if you follow the Rangers it's pretty much official now with the ship sailing on him being anything in the NHL. Many Ranger fans, myself included, still had a glimmer of hope for him coming into the year...forums.hfboards.com
That's some good research:
No more excuses.
The brightest hope this guy has right now is to (slightly) out score Nail Yakupov over his first 4 seasons.
No more "he just needs more powerplay time".
No more "he just needs different linemates".
It's over. Lafreniere is definitively in the discussion for worst #1ovr pick in NHL history.
Sad to see that he’s fallen so far from grace.Wow, didn't realize it was this bad . . .

Was just thinkin about this fella the other day, and was wondering how that deal was working out. Whew.
