Rumor: Rumours and Proposals Thread: Hyman?

I hope the Kraken are dogshit for 20 years.

Based on the forwards, they ain't starting good.

Good GMs make things happen, bad GMs make excuses.

No, it's results-driven. We've been told so in this thread.

Bettman can f*** right off

So for every transaction there’s 1 or 2 good GMs and 28 or 29 bad ones.

There’s lots of idiots out there. I’m not saying I would feel that way, but in 2021, with the climate currently you know it would have bad optics.

Fart sounds.

One playoff win in two years is not great to put it lightly.

Yes it's very impressive to go from 1st OV to

I do think Nurse is a shut down dman. He just has to babysit Barrie which is a hard task. I agree on the others.

Y'all overrate Nurse defensively. He's a mobile defenseman who can easily close gaps and get to players but his positioning issues cause said gaps to exist whereas a true shutdown guy like Slavin would make them never appear in the first place. Nurse's value is that he's such a powerhouse in terms of skating, puck moving, and generating offense that when he does get his hands on said puck it's going the other way and staying there. But he's still probably a below average defensively overall who seems better than he actually is because he makes the simple plays look spectacular while guys like Pelech make the spectacular play look simple.

Exactly.

You know how stupid every single GM in the league is for not having McDavid and Draisaitl right now?

You hope for their sake.

There are a lot of bad GMs in the league. That doesn’t mean ours should be bad too.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Did you see Oleksiak's contract

A good GM would have talked him down.

I’m going under the assumption that Holland could return a piece of equal value in an area of need. Possibly not a good assumption lol.

Eh it would be a difficult task even for Yzerman. Draft picks are kinda like brand new cars, they depreciate in value as soon as you make them.

However, unlike brand new cars, if they prove that they can make the jump and produce at the NHL level then their value increases.

Right now, I'd say Bouchard's value is probably the lowest it will be in his whole career. Trading him now would be poor asset management.

It seems you missed the million posts these are referring to.

But if Hall never wanted to come here, which now 3 times in the last year has been the case then how is it a realistic opportunity?

you’ve made it clear that it’s a Hall thing for you.

It was realistic enough for Johnston to lay out the possibility on TV and for Gazzolla to lay out the same on Radio. We also know Holland made his pitch. If you want to debate as to whether it was realistic or not because you can read Hall's mind and know 100% Edmonton was a non-starter go ahead, it'll all be speculation on either side of the argument cause like I said before, we never really know. But there are things that we don't need to speculate on, things that actually happened. Things like Larsson walking. And things like the gaping hole that is left at LW and scoring depth that this team sorely needs.

Only one gets to waste their talents. That takes a special talent.

What a crazy take. Are you sure you aren't just Holland hater? Must be, cause Holland hasn't made things happen and thus you must hate him.
