Universally former players are publicly shitting on Mika for those comments. He's a player, he isn't a part of management. And mika's comments are completely in line with what I shared prior to Thanksgiving that this was coming bc the players had become so entitled that they thought they were in charge, and hence here Mika acts like he should have been included in these decisions in some manner. The big dogs in the league that are actual star players don't pull this garbage. Mika thinks he's something more than he is and clean out day as a whole is just an example of the issues with this core. You're getting paid 8.5m a year and you're talking about your feelings for 7 f***ing months that you played lifeless hockey. Be sad, process, and then do your job. Or at the very least keep a consistent effort if you want to wear an A on your jersey. You're a rep of the players in the room and you pet normal took zero accountability and instead pointed to everything else. This guy is no leader at all, and if he is a leader for your group this is what you should expect. Again, people don't realize just how much and how important trouba and Goodrow were because they managed THIS last of internal accountability and pulse. You rip them out of the room and it gave more space for the entitled zombies to have a bigger voice. Fox, Mika, kreider, panarin? Dear good, what a bunch of betas. No wonder they prioritized getting the Miller deal done to get an alpha back in the room to replace trouba. People shouldn't think it's a coincidence that Mika gets pulled away from kreider and put with Miller? Clean out day should demonstrate just how little of a pulse this group has. No one even seemed pissed they were leaving, they all wanted to go home and feel bad for themselves.
