The Mother-fucking goddamn Off-season Thread

[zeke]

Nah, he said the presser made him consider for the first time he might have to look at other options.

yes, he made it clear that he had always fought for dubas, and that the press conference was the first time he actually was forced to consider that maybe he wasn't the only good candidate.

but nothing he said would make us believe that our team was so incompetent to have done no due diligence on alternative candidates despite not having a GM signed beyond the end of the season.

Gonna need this one to become official before I believe it.

True. Dreger the Diddler only so far.

 

[Preston]

For real tho….all you folks who have talked yourselves into Treliving and are pumped for it, I’m excited for you guys to have that feeling.

Nothing I enjoy in sports more than hiring a GM I believe in.

There is a significant lack of evidence that Treliving is any worse than Kyle. He might be, but I don't see much evidence there that supports that.

starts off really well.....and then gets worse. like dubas.

Honestly they seem similar. Similar strengths and probably weaknesses too.

 

[CH1]

and trades aren't everything...Bergevin has a pretty sweet trade record but can't run a scouting dept or operate a balance sheet

 

[Preston]

They even both love Jarn Cock!

 

[zeke]

unfortunately it;'s the free agent signings where Treliving looks the worst.

but hopefully that's a "I gotta play in calgary" tax.

Flames fans always felt that ownership pushed a lot of those. They never had any appetite for rebuilding and they put a lot of pressure on immediate results as opposed to the "process." Not sure how much merit that has but yeah.

that's a funny part - i am a million percent sure that flames ownership/baord were far more meddling than leafs ownership/board.

 

[CH1]

you'll know soon enough with how he handles Schenn (2 x 2.5) and Bunting (4x4)

 

[Preston]

If they're keeping the big boys there won't be much room for poor contracts. The Leafs cap structure was a self regulator for Kyle any time he may have been tempted to go ham on a UFA. Won't be different with this gargoyle.

James Neal?

Ah, to have a pulse and be employed once by an NHL front office.

Not too different than having a lifetime pension.
