I don't pay too much attention to other sports but it definitely feels like at least 80% of the GMs in this league don't have a clue what they're doing or are past their prime. Like I know some teams are actively sabotaged by their owners but still.
Everyone keeps saying this, and there's no truth to at all. Until he holds up a trade, he can go anywhere. I still think Utah is a good landing spot for him or Columbus.
Terrible GMing happens everywhere. Some absolute mind blowing trades in the other leagues. The Russell Wilson one still shocks me.
All major sports just recycle the same management and coaches for the most part
You think he’s going to accept a trade to a team like Columbus right after going on an absolute banger of a cup run (possibly winning the cup) with his friends?
Unfortunately there's "fans" out there that think they can be shitty enough human beings to drive him to waive his NMC.
I can only see him waiving to Toronto where he's from. With Oilers doing so well, I highly doubt he waives. He's most likely staying and we can only hope he improves or regains form.
You honestly believe this?
Not really surprised PLD gets moved, there is always a GM willing to take a chance on a perceived "big centerman", regardless of how much baggage they come with. That being said, Washington looks like a good fit for them since they need a top line center. LA was such a weird landing spot for him right from the start considering they give Kopitar/Danault the bulk of the minutes.
Suspect Ovechkin/PLD pairing won't be all that good though. Poor work ethic center + winger that no longer wants to forecheck or play defense probably won't be a great combo
What? You don't think he will keep at a 104 PDO pace all year? 4 points the last two months
I don't know, Hronek was pretty solid 1st pairing last season. He was pretty bad in the playoffs though so hope that continues but it's not a bad deal for him.
