The Mother-fucking goddamn Off-season Thread

Well the first post I saw was someone calling the whole board "boomer Shanny cock suckers". So.

This reminds me of a story. I play chess online and this guy from Iran kept DMing me stupid emojis every time he took a piece then sent me a message that the west are impure people that will die in war (in farsi, had to Google translate).

So I told him Allah is gay and Mohammed sucks his cock hourly.

I'm now banned from chess.com for awhile.

The greatest sin is that his evaluation of the team was completely off. He either felt the need to add a Justin Holl type low end #4/good bottom pairing d instead of juicing up their talent/scoring or he felt McCabe was a Muzzin or at least a shutdown pair guy in a cup winning roster. In both cases he was wrong. And he felt Sandin wasn't good enough to play at all and was worth giving away for free essentially. That's a GM with a very warped view of his roster. And I know he WAS smarter than this. He buckled.

yeah I more and more ascribe to this theory. in conjunction with Habsy's. the market, media, fans, whatever, collectively got to him. that and his wife. but he was too proud/dumb/stubborn to walk away.

Understand I wouldn't blame her at all for doing it should I be right about Kyle and his stress affecting her and the kids. It usually boils down to the kids and disagreement there. You simply cannot get those formative years back and if the house is a stress farm?

Again, wouldn't blame her at all. If she's proactive and a go getter? Knows what she wants? Yes I can see it because men tend to take advantage of those in their lives when they're doing something they love. Heck does she even like hockey?

Yes, I'm taking a lot of creative license here but I just can't bring myself to believing a man with his intelligence buckled because of Shanny. Not adding up to this male, maybe I'm just from a different generation.

I think it's a combination of him just breaking under the stress of the job in addition to the impact it had on his family.

In some ways, Dubas demanding 5 years, 6 million per kind of signifies this organization.
Jim Nill's contract was out this summer as well and he quietly signed a 1 year extension. Things are differnet elsewhere

Wonder if he has an out. No way Dallas pays as much.
 
Thing is GMs don't draft. That's the scouting staff there though I suppose the GMs need to listen to the right people and prefer the right type of player with the right type of upside. But maybe his people in Dallas would follow him over eventually too.
 
Yeah, its deciding the types of players to focus on in the rankings too. The scouts will develop the list in accordance with the skill sets the GM values.

Nills done this for 30 years with two different orgs, and I'm sure many different scouts.
