I wonder what he's gonna do if they keep doing the things he can't tolerate. Feels like they had a hard time moving guys when the team was mediocre and going downhill...

Kind of sketchy stuff from a GM: "If I have to come in there, you kids are going to be in big trouble." Huh?
Besides, why isn't the coach staff dealing with such things?
Probably the most disappointing thing I've heard from GMMG yet...

Waiving Vlassic or Hoffman or and of the veterans is a start. It might seem overdue to fans but it would be a big deal to the league if he waived players making more than $4 million.

Interesting. So then assign to AHL and when they refuse to report then mutual termination of contract?

I didn't initially catch this... "and I them know that!" heh

But yeah, I read the whole thing as an "or else" situation, but I'm confused about the consequences. The waiving vets that GauchoLoco3 mentioned is one thing, but ultimately I feel like Grier doesn't have a lot of options, or these guys would have been traded already.

Anywhere they get traded to would be a step up in situation if getting to the ploffs is the traded player's goal.

And yet he told this to the players. Sorry you’re disappointed.

The thing that I'm more interested in is that two WHL franchises retired Patty and Jumbo's numbers. I just find that weird. Like are they that important to those franchises?

 

[LadyStanley]

WHL for Patty. OHL for Jumbo.

Jumbo was a household name for hockey folks for a long time. Prolly HHOF. Patty broke one of Gordy's records, maybe HHOF... I see it as putting up the ol' "Hometown of Famous Athlete" sign... it is kinda weird tho.
