Well that's disappointing.
I don't disagree with Waddell that Elvis has the talent to be a #1 goalie. He might get back there. I just think it's a waste of organizational energy to get him there, including that it is a drag on our locker room. We should just buy him out and put someone in net that the players are excited to play for.

He might be the guy who rekindles the fire in Elvis. It only takes an encounter with the right person.
I would assume if any mention of toxicity comes up in meeting with the players, he may reconsider this idea. That being said,
this is also a possibility, albeit a more unlikely one.

Not those of us who don’t want to buy him out.

I hate the Steelers but I respect Mike Tomlin as a coach. Reminds me of this quote from him in an interview.
"I love coaches who resist the responsibility of coaching, that talk negatively about a dude that can't learn."
"Man...if everyone could learn, we'd need less coaches. If the group didn't need management, then we wouldn't make as much.
"I don't run away from coaching. I run to coaching."
"It's all in line with not seeking comfort, because when you are a coach and you're talking about someone that can't learn, you're seeking comfort because your teaching is struggling."

Haven't verified so take it with a grain of salt.
Sounds like they're just talking out of their ass.

Aint much out there so hopefully someone hits the right buttons to reset this guy. Skills are there, mental aspect needs reboot.

Well, the first step is having a GM that didn't emote him to 3rd string when he was the best playing goalie on the roster. Then it all fell apart. He had a pretty decent start to last season all things considered while the defense was still a mess. I guess we'll see where those conversations go.
Both can be true.
Preds are open to moving him but the price is high, as it should be for elite goalie. At the same time, they'll want to re-sign him so they don't lose such a valuable piece for nothing.
