Is it really surprising that an incompetent nepo hire didn't draft the best players?So you arent even pretending its about the players anymore?

Look at those guys stats in the AHL and compare them to Wiesblatt's. Wiesblatt had worse production in the AHL than Matt Rempe.I don't think it was more than a meh trade for both teams. Ozzy was slowly morphing into more of a Kunin/Dellandrea/Goodrow type but obviously we didn't need that.
He could end up being a solid 4th liner for a team like Nashville but probably not.
What are you talking about? He killed it!Is it really surprising that an incompetent nepo hire didn't draft the best players?
Oh definitely. I think this trade could be similar to the Reedy/Peterson trade but a little bit higher profile just based on it being a former first rounder.No doubt. I like the move, but I don't think it's gonna be a trade that ultimately ends up on the Grier board of biggest moves (whether good or bad). One thing you can't argue though is Grier is definitely being more aggressive in building a team of the players he wants vs the players that he needs to tank.
That's not the issue with the poster in question.Is it really surprising that an incompetent nepo hire didn't draft the best players?
In all fairness, There's like 3 competent NHLers drafted after Ozzy in the 2020 draft; Lohrei, Faber and Evangelista.
Grier's only allowed a max number of former first rounders in the organization. Once Dellandrea was brought in that was it for Ozzy.Oh definitely. I think this trade could be similar to the Reedy/Peterson trade but a little bit higher profile just based on it being a former first rounder.
Clearly, he doesn't even want to be taken seriously on here.That's not the issue with the poster in question.
We've acquired Tyler Myers for Eklund and #14.Watch yourself Eklund…
Bizarro world where criticizing DWJr's horrendous draft record and wanting to dump the rest of his bust squadron is apparently unseriousClearly, he doesn't even want to be taken seriously on here.
This guy thought so anyway
You're obsessed with him. Let it go. You're turning into a caricature. Your hatred for him permeates all your opinions and prevents you from being objective and formulating coherent arguments. Taking every chance you get to spit on DWJr's tenure in San Jose says more about you and the fact that he lives rent free in your brain than anything else. How exactly are you benefitting from this obsession?Bizarro world where criticizing DWJr's horrendous draft record and wanting to dump the rest of his bust squadron is apparently unserious
So this guy has a chance of being on the NHL roster next year? Great, cause we need the bodies.It seems like the issue is Afanasyev will have to pass through waivers to go back to the AHL next season and Nashville has no faith that he would do so. Purely a numbers game as they have some other young guys to fit in who have performed more at the NHL level and are likely seeking at least one free agent winger: https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/nashv...ose-afanasyev-if-hes-not-given-an-opportunity
So pretty much just a numbers crunch for Afanasyev with the Preds. Love to see Grier pouncing on another team's roster challenges like this.
How could I possibly bring up Junior in a thread about the unceremonious dumping of yet another one of his 1st round failures? I must be obsessed.You're obsessed with him. Let it go.

Did you really have to crop out Eklund to make your point? Lol the resume still sucks, you didn't have to try and make it look worse
Amazing that you don't even realize that you're making my point for me. The trade is about the players exchanged and the possibility of Afanasyev having a future on the Sharks. It is not about the person who drafted Ozzy Wiesblatt and was fired 2 years ago. Zero objectivity, completely obsessed. Once again, how is this obsession benefitting you?How could I possibly bring up Junior in a thread about the unceremonious dumping of yet another one of his 1st round failures? I must be obsessed.
Wait, I thought he loved Linus Karlsson?? He said so with his other narrative about Jonathan Dahlin.Did you really have to crop out Eklund to make your point? Lol the resume still sucks, you didn't have to try and make it look worse
