How spineless do you have to be to accept a job where you’re not allowed to do what you need to do.

Pretty $pinele$$ tbh.

 

[HandshakeLine]

lol, I eagerly await what the new excuses are.

 

[Jobeycool]

They should just trade Malkin, Guentzel, maybe EK at some point and try to trade Rakell with his miserable season.

 

[SomeDude]

Dubas is a jackass.

I'd be fine as long as my body was supported by a mattress stuffed with more cash than most people will ever see in their entire lives ...

 

[HandshakeLine]

f*** trades, I want to see Mike Sullivan get kicked by a horse.

 

[JRS91]

I don't think you give up on Karlsson yet.

I think the biggest move this team could make right now is firing Sullivan and this entire coaching staff. I think it'd be foolish to move good players without first considering it could be a coaching issue first.

Try to get as much as you can for Guentzel at the deadline. Heck, move Smith too. Fire Sullivan, hire someone like Gallant. The top-six needs help, but the bottom-six needs a complete re-do. We're unfortunately stuck with our defense. I think a coaching change will ultimately help defensively, but personnel-wise I think the bottom-six is the most lacking area of this team.

I know Dubas isn't gonna come in and say they're open for business and the teardown is about to begin, declaring the era dead, but man. What a buncha lame ass answers.

I still don't think I'm gonna fully judge the guy until the page turns on this chapter cuz you don't sign a dude for 7 years and judge him on two years of dead end era hockey. But he just gave the most lame, middle of the road answers, defending Sullivan the entire way.

Even as resident "f*** the era, start the rebuild" guy, this shit was depressing to me. Guess it really is gonna be like three more years of this hot, coiled dogshit.

 

[SEALBound]

Core: Sid, Geno, Letang, EK

Others: He will continue to evaluate the market and make the best decisions possible.

Other: They want to bring in young players with intention of competing next year.

Tidbit: Dubas and Sullivan often disagree about what the team needs. Kyle, please fire Sullivan. What the team NEEDS is a new coaching staff.

 

[HandshakeLine]

I mean it’s just clear to see that Dubas has no idea about the future of this team and Sullivan has no ideas how to coach. It’s like Hextall except worse because these two were supposed to be smart hires.

 

[pistolpete11]

The only piece of defense I will give Dubas is that actions speak louder than words. It's not uncommon for GMs to say shit and then do the opposite.....especially non-JR GM's.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

It really does feel like Dubas took this job with the proviso that he basically just sit around and burn 100 dollar bills til Crosby retires and then MAYBE he'll get to actual work after that. It's negligence and if that's really the case people should be furious.

Once again... what is it gonna take to even just kick Todd flippin' Reirden to the curb? Why does something so minor and clearly needed feel like an impossible ask with these dolts?

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Later f***nuts von Clownshoes.

 

[Killahpunk]

Dubas is clearly delusional.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Is it really too much to ask for just ONE person involved with this organization or it's boot-licking media partners to even HINT at the idea that Boston Boy Mike is cooked?

 

[Grouch]

About time, but they forgot about Harkins and Phillips

 

[Invalid cuz QoC]

Now I have to check if Todd Reirden was born In Mass.

It really feels like Dubas isn’t qualified to be an NHL GM. At least if you want your team to not suck or have any direction.

This notion that Dubas isn’t allowed to do what he wants. Dubas doesn’t know what he wants to do. He’s a good talker and crap at everything else.

 

[Rodgerwilco]

Dubas' presser was so f***ing bad that it actually made me agree with and respect Josh Yohe. Yikes that's rough.

 

[HandshakeLine]

It’s wild that for as little of an idea as Hextall supposedly said his team wasn’t nearly this bad.

This is a frightening but I admit entirely possible scenario.

This team is just one giant bag of hot air, huh?

 

[HandshakeLine]

Where are the usual suspects?

 

[SomeDude]

This is a 20 minute long equivalent of Pierre Dorian saying “We’re a team” in response to being asked what he likes about his team.
