Rupp's saying that Drury's mail to the other GMs that put Kreider on the open for trade list was the bomb that set off this whole thing because it was seen as manipulative. It was the cherry on the cake on top of other questionable moves made by Drury. He then goes on to say that Lavi and the coaches have no handle on the situation and are making bad things worse. With management and coaches lacking in ability the players will not be able to bootstrap themselves out of this situation, especially not with the constant downward flow of BS coming their way.
This is basically what I've been (more or less) manically posting over and over again.
So from my understanding in terms of timeline.
Goodrow waivers happened.
Trouba was approached about his NTC .
Trouba didnt move. (for what ever reason)
Was made clear this was his last year.
Team was not happy about how the goodrow deal went down (lack of communication to the player)
Team starts hot.
Cools off.
Drury has a conversation with 3 players about their play and needing to play better or they might be on the block. So they were communicated to.
Play continues to be bad.
Trouba Traded.
Team upset about drury.
Dude did what they wanted, and they're still pissed.
