It's crazy that casual fans can see this so clearly, yet guys paid millions can botch only the worst way possible. Do these people just lack complete insight outside of evauating dollars and hockey talent/rebuilding plans?
Sure but try and remember that you have zero inside information save for one or two tweets that offer little but what a third party has ‘heard’ at this point, and none of it offers anything towards reasoning.
Typically there is a lot more going on behind the scenes that would clarify decision making. Doesn’t mean that everyone would agree with it, but making assumptions that decisions are stupid based next to no information is a recipe for making the poster look foolish if and when more information comes out.
Under no circumstances would I be making claims of knowing what’s better in this situation given what we know. What I do know is that I want the team to be making decisions based on what’s best for the team first, before considering what’s best for the player/coach.
