He should get 8m per 8yr for putting up 5 goals and 17 points in 47 games with the Penticton Vees

Sorry dude. But a coach doesnt tell or force a GM to make a trade. It doesnt work like that.

your right, i guess carter and richards were traded away because they were playing POG at 3am

may i ask why you think you know that?

work in many club front offices?

Same source who told many people on here Carlyle was forced to play Gardiner.

jbold.. settle down or i will settle you down

What about Boudreau and Ovechkin? Kadri and Wilson?


Richards and Carter were traded because of their attitudes and liquor crap. The whole dry island BS.

You honestly think the coach will force a GM to trade a player?

Come on, look how many coaches were fired for doing what you said..

Its naive to think a GM will trade a player just because a coach doesnt like him.

See Kadri-Wilson..
- jbold

If they traded Kadri when he was that young and with that much potential they would be the laughing stock of the league. Oh wait....

I don't really have a bone in this fight, but it seems like you are trying to make people (who are far more respected than you) look stupid. But it's backfiring. IMO.

With how low those 6 and 8 year offers are yeah, looks like it. They are really far off what he's probably looking for long term.

What would a big young center with 70+ point potential get on the open market long-term? $7M per?

franchise player
wilson was already on his way out (kadri highest drafted canadian first round) - he was never going anywhere - its called a wakeup call

richards and carter (liquor crap) who enforced that rule? the coach?

must have been their mom's made a few calls to the GM, right?

That's why in the end he'll just sign a bridge contract like you said

maybe he was?

Really?

Im being ignorant? Yet, you guys are thinking that a coach demands a GM make a trade.

Come on..

Kid's a stud and will likely get better. He should do the PK gamble with the bridge deal, and two years from now he'll be able to sign long term at Toews/Kane money.

Why doesn't Ryan Johansen just go the way of other good Blue Jackets and ask to be traded to the Kings for a pack of tube socks?

And the girls stop crying?

Or you get people saying there are too many refs in a Leafs thread, yes, they actually say that, they don't want to post anymore. True story.

Moderation congestion.

it stops now or you're gone.

That's why we think your drinking.

Coaches and GM talk together on a daily basis.

If a player doesn't fit the team, you think it's impossible that he tells that to the GM and the GM tries to move the player?
