I don’t think Wright has the right character.

It would likely be a disaster. And his upside/ceiling, to me at least, is not worth the risk of the said disaster.

Meh, the Canes and Aho seems to be doing just fine.

That was a fake offer sheet by Bergie. It didn’t blow the salary structure.

LOL. disaster. hyperbole much? what are you talking about. Is Wright going to infect half the team with AIDS

 

[Habsy]

Bad attitude is infectious. I think he has a bad attitude

it's fine to think that...and you might be right, but it's highly speculative.

I'll let the Habs org decide!

Sakic, weber, etc

 

[Krustchev]

I doubt he'd be too happy playing for the team that dissed him, and on the same team as Slaf (not that it's Slaf's fault . . .). He's also not that good.

 

[Alan C]

I think he will be happy being given an opportunity to play regardless of where.

 

[CH1]

Hughes acknowledged this on July 1. The players have done him a huge favour by signing these long term deals to chase cups so the pressure is now on him to spend it wisely on elite players who share similar “buy in”. He’s going to be very careful about who he brings in. It’s partly why he was so into Knies. (6x8M contract)

This is the soundbyte

He seems like the epitome of the self-entitled GTHL lifer-superstar so I have my doubts about your statement.

So if no other team wants him, he'll refuse Habs and prefer Europe ?

Other teams will want him. But I doubt that his attitutude will chsnge that much,

 

[Rolex]

Leo offer sheet could also be a 1-off......Bettman back channeling to make sure the rest of the league stays nice......without the perception of collusion obviously

we will know soon enough......can Fantilli be offer sheeted now ?

Absolutely it’s speculative but that’s what I glean. Ask yourself why they’re ready to walk away from him?

He wasn’t worth their first pick obviously … but who knows what they think he’s worth now?

 

[Rolex]

Just meet Hage at an event….pretty tall kid

He will make Krusty proud as our future 2C
