I remember fondly, we had our signing frenzy of things like:
Connor Brown - 4.25m
Ryan McLeod - 2.1m
and shortly after, within days, the news that Staois was potentially leaving us to join Ottawa arose. He was being groomed here to become our GM until Ken Holland made a few horrific signings that were going to significantly impact his ability to do his job next year. Huge wastes of money. Again, no coincidence his decision to go to Ottawa was revealed shortly after -- the official announcement coming in October but the writing on the wall just days after these brutal signings were made. Some of us remember it well.
