I don't know, but I believe Babcock was not like that back then. Also, I never did care for Babcock. To me, he happened to be in the right places at the right time. He has proven to now be a douchebag after what he did here, as well as in Columbus. I cannot see how you do not see this, but I guess you are entitled to your own opinion.
Yes, there will always be those kinds of people around, but does that make it right? Also, have you become (or maybe you always have been) the same type of person as your partners? If so, then I can understand why you feel the way you do.
Like I said, it doesn't make it right. But the way that Babcock's reputation has somehow been tarnished more than the guy who turned a blind eye to sexual assault for the sake of winning says something about what's important in society.
Yeah, Robertson and Liljegren might be two of the bigger question makes in that they could be very useful pieces or they could be what we currently see.
Well the original post says we have to move Marner to start opening our window. I understand he has NMC and maybe that he would like to stay. I think it can be done. He does not want t to here if the organization wants to move him and the fanbase knows it.
I agree 100% with you regarding how Bettman viewed/handled what Babcock did compared to the Blackhawks and Kyle Beach. As for the judicial system, Aldrich, the guy who sexually assaulted Beach only ended up serving 5 months of a 9 month sentence! Both of those numbers are insane!!! Add onto that the fact that after the assault occured, the Hawks gave a good reference for Aldrich, who then went on to become an assistant coach with a high school team, where he then proceeded to sexually assault another boy! This time he served 9 months and had to be registered as a sex offender.
I think the issue might be that Babcock is a double (at least) offender. I know the offense is much less, but he was given a second chance and blew it immediately, worse than the first time.
Unless JT was filling out his tax returns himself, I don't blame him for the tax mess - that's on his accountant.
Also, apparently when this all happened, the team president knew about it, but said that no one else was to be told anything about the situation, and Bowman the GM, was with him when he said this. So personally, I believe Quenneville when he said that.
But why? Tavares has to leave? You don't think we have a better chance of winning if we keep Tavares with adeep hometown discount and he gives up the C? Tavares at $1.5M and $9.5M to spend elsewhere?
You're right - as with the rest of my point, it's not a matter of JT leaving, but of that terrible contract leaving.
You aren’t getting Tavares at 1.5 million.
Ok. Let's see. My point was that it is not that Tavares is no good, it's that he is overpaid.
