I don't much care for Ryan Wilson but yes it is insane to think that KD is on the hot seat.
The way things are going and news coming out regarding his attitude and all, I think a prospect swap and maybe another player is more than enough. No one is giving up a 1st rounder for him in my opinion, or he would have been moved at the draft.
This seems entirely based off his opinion.
The clearest evidence that The Hockey News is irrelevant trash when Ryan Wilson of all people has to put a Hockey News writer in his his place.
I don't think DUBAS would go for it even if Sullivan weren't here. I believe him when he says he wants to get younger, but I also think Dubas is a big believer in the overall development process. He wants to see young players excel at various levels before giving them an NHL opportunity.
It makes so much sense to give him that ice time here with Sid or Geno, we have absolutely nothing besides Yager to be excited for at the moment. I would do it in a heartbeat and if MS isn't happy, he can go f*** himself!!
Yup. But all it takes is one GM willing to do it. 97% of GMs could agree with you...but that may not matter. I wondered in NYR didn't make sense. Send them Chytil and someone like Cuylle. Then get back McGroarty and a 3rd or something.
Maybe. I have a feeling that part of what drew Dubas to the Pens job was having the full power of being a GM and President. I doubt that's something he wants to give up.
On the other hand, it would actually be par for the course for this organization if the new GM who just got signed is on the hot seat before the friggin' coach who has been a disaster for half a decade.
Because he's only played college hockey. While he played well, he wasn't at the level of a Will Smith or an Adam Fantilli, both of whom showcased more advanced offensive talent as freshmen than McGroarty did as a sophomore.
Dubas will hire a GM at some point when he needs to promote someone like Spezza to keep them in the organization. But Dubas will still be making the final decisions.
Scott Wheeler just listed his Top 100 drafted NHL prospects. These are players who are now NHL team property but who have not established themselves in the NHL.
Rebuild has already kicked off.
And the core as well, don't forget about the REAL culprits.
False, it's all you keyboard warriors who are too chickenshit to be season ticket holders
What the hell does that have to do with anything that occurred on the ice?
