Ryan Getzlaf joins NHL Department of Player Safety

[FriendlyGhost92]

The year is 2035. Player safety is run by Jamie Benn and Jacob Trouba, because that's such an NHL thing to do.

Well, good. Because Parros is legit trash. Worthless.

After the handling of the Wilson/Panarin incident Parros would have to string together 25 years straight of excellent work just to get back to ground zero.

It could be worse, they could have hired Tim Peel.

Don't put that evil into the universe, not even as a joke.

I'm just wondering why a guy like getzlaf who made alot of money wants a thankless job such as this one? Maybe I'm way off in terms of how much it pays.

Is it a means to get into management somewhere the way shanahan did?

The real money is in the envelopes under the table.

I like Getzlaf, but does he actually have any real say in matters or is he just a fall guy for the league? I mean we've seen a dozen former players in that role and nothing really ever changes.

What is it with them hiring goons and or utter jerks for this department

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Typical cronyism.

 

[luiginb]

Getzlaf was sneakily dirty, I'd rather they kept hiring goons.

I remember he helped Derek Stepan as a DOPS rep in his playing days.
