Staal and Gurianov were named as vets who mostly likely are gone... but he noticeably didn't mention EJ there.

Good, whatever that’s a one year deal. It might mean they don’t go out and sign a high $ ufa

I think laughton gets moved. Db seemed to indicate he wants cates in a bigger role

Are we going to spoon feed him 9 minutes a night at the start of every season just in case he gets hurt later? For 6 years? He looked great the first half of the year. Minutes were reduced accordingly. I think it’s backwards to not give the player you respect so much a chance to play when he’s healthy. You want RP taking those minutes on opening day?

His time did get managed. Towards the end when he got banged up. And folks like you whined about it.

When he was playing you say he was playing too much. When he was sat you say he was disrespected and should be playing. Pick a lane!

How are your parents, btw? Related?

funny DB in Frost on how he handled the challenges aka Torts. Maybe just pumping the tires for a trade.

didnt whine in any way. never said he was disrespected. what I said was they had no time management plan in any way. they ran him into the ground. keep slurping their crank.

many from day 1 said they are overusing him and the end result will be bad. your a dope.

speaking of parents. when they had parent day at school did your dad wear his Aramark uniform ? bring any samples to hand out?

do you want RP taking those minutes in OT? That is exactly what Torts did...

He didn't say anything that wasn't true, tho.

Frosty handled all the BS with class at the beginning of the season. Then he produced when he was given a chance and had himself a nice year all things considered. And he handled the benching in the final game w/ class too.

For his sake I hope he gets away from Torts

Torts admitted that they didn't really practice 4v4 / 3v3 despite it being a fundamental part of the standings.

Sadly none of the beats challenged his deployment strategy.

They're so (frank)ing scared of him, it's pathetic.

keep sucking is crank.

it isn't hate in any way. He is fraud. not my problem you lap what he says up.

he blames others simple as that.

- hello it's me 2050


I do not lap up what he says. I thought it unprofessional to skip out and make Shaw do post games, I found it maddening to keep throwing Atkinson and ND out there. It made me mad that he played Stall over the younger D. How he threw Sandstorm under the buy pissed me off.

But did Coots ever come out and say I am sucking right now and should maybe sit. No and he never will, that is the coaches job.

Everyone acts like it was all Torts, when it really is the coach and players fault. But no, it was all Torts.

If DB would come out and say Torts is coming back, I would be fine. But since i don't have the hate like some do for torts, I am just a lap dog.

No matter what was said, actions will speak louder than any words today.

I think it will be a mistake to move Frost and Farabee this offseason.

I think it would be an error not to look to move Laughton and Konecny.

Any buyouts would be stupid. Send them to Lehigh if you can't move them in a trade. They need to move some contracts and money out and try to weaponize cap space.

I am ok with Ersson/Fedotov in Philly and Koslov getting majority of the time in LH.

well your a dope. he missed 2 years off 2 back surgeries. lets give him 20+ off the bat. then you get the results you got at the end of the year.
- hello it's me 2050


Its a coaches job to manage his players. Its no different than a goalie. Of course the goalie wants to play every game but as a coach you need to weigh that against wearing him out. Torts could have done that but those not to. Saying he doesn't have a crystal ball is just silly.

And I would add maybe seeing if there is interest in Sanheim. Had a good year, I know he has a no move but I would think if it's the right team that won't be an issue.

I don't know.

I don't get that impression but I wouldn't be against moving his deal out. Maybe he would be cool to go back home to Calgary.

Does he want to be part of a long rebuild? You would think he would want to chase a cup while in his prime if offered.
