Confirmed with Link: Pierre-Edouard Bellemare 2-Year Ext. ($1.45M AAV), Selected by VGK in Expansion 6/21

[FlyTimmo]

This really doesn't mean anything to me. I would have been happy to see LV take any of our exposed players.

 

[GKJ]

I don't want to rail on Bellemare because he worked his ass off and did everything asked of him, but I'm glad this happened because Hakstol needed to be saved from himself.

How bad is Hakstol panting outside Hextall's office hoping Vandevelde is brought back?

I wonder if Hextall had something to do with that. VDV gone, PEB gone, Shultz Gone, Amac...?

I don't want to get too excited now....

Oh, Striiker will find someone.

Of all the people on this site, you single out me as someone who will search for a new whipping boy?

There are so so so so so so so so sooooo many people who like to ride specific players so so so so so soooo much harder than I ever have, or will.

And I've even said that it wasn't Bellemare or Vandevelde who caused this team to miss the playoffs, when many have basically blamed them for it. The only player I consistently rag on is Manning, and I intentionally hyper-exaggerate everything I say about him so it's obvious that I'm being half serious.

I mean, ****, there's still people acting like Vandevelde is getting re-signed because they can't let the scapegoating go.

Since you are the designated searcher of whipping boys now, I would like to help you. I nominate deadhead.

Do not forget the head coach. I hope you are ambidextrous cause if not your arm would get fatigued

Yeah, somehow merely pointing out that he isn't a good judge of talent/value means I'm the head of his whipping team too... even though I'm one of the few saying I don't care if he gets fired or not.

Meanwhile, I think Rebel has paid a hitman to go after Hakstol and quite a large pool of people chipped in to help with the cost.

I got a feeling Rebel is your whipping boy... ts ts...

 

[FLYguy3911]

His numbers weren't impressive when he was here, but recording an identical number of goals and assists for 3 consecutive seasons certainly is.

If you believe in point shares for hockey...The worst offensive contributor in the league by a miiiile over the last 3 seasons:

No way, Rebel and I see eye-to-eye on like 80% of things.

If anyone is my whipping boy it's probably deadhead.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm perhaps we've figured this out.

 

[SuchySays]

Bellemare was a good guy.. I wish him luck in Vegas.

Could be an exciting opportunity with the new team.

[Philadelphia Ducks]

Was hoping they'd take someone with a higher salary but w/e. I think I was one of the few that actually still liked Pebbles but it's an acceptable loss for ED.

Exactly. Hexy did him a favour with a two year deal. He could have helped the Flyers, but there was no way they'd protect him. Good luck in Vegas. Maybe VDV will go there too!

[Sombastate]

I liked Cowbell

Kinda sad to see him go. I'll root for him

 

[Winston Wolf]

Au revoir, Felicia.

 

[Rebels57]

Bellemare and Neuvirth were my top 2 choices for who id like to see selected. I'm VERY happy.

Our 4th line might look like this..

Raffl - Vecchione/Laughton - Weise/Read

Thats a whole hell of a lot better than VdV-Bellemare-Lyubimov

I will also have no problem rooting for Belly in Vegas.

This cannot be stressed enough.

So who inherits PEB's "A"? Gudas? Couts? Jake?

 

[Winston Wolf]

Manning, he's got lots of character.
