If this is Game of Thrones then Kyle is Ned.
if the first time you're hearing about some questions regarding an underlings commitment to a very difficult job is via a press conference on the eve of offering him a pile of life changing money, that will raise alarm bells. so tough to blame Shanny much here based on what we know.I'm guessing he thought he was in the clear until CJ asked him that very pointed "Do you want to be here and do you still have it in you?" question - that's when it sorta went south.
But the President has an obligation to make sure the GM he's extending is totally committed - it's reasonable for him to have been shaken by that "uh, um, i can't say, my family" answer.
I was sure he was coming back until then and then posted on Tuesday that based on his answers I was open to moving on - and I didn;t even know he had a contract offer in hand. Why wouldn't Shanahan walk away feeling that too?
yeah, this is a really good point. why the fuck did he insist on holding a press conference? especially if it was for him to publicly declare his uncertainty about proceeding.
to go further down Habsy's rabbit hole here, the only thing remotely logical I can come up with right now is that Mrs. Dubas demanded the press conference OR it was an attempt to placate her. obviously a lot of assumptions doing some work here.
and for further clarity, I hold no ill will or antipathy towards Mrs. Dubas no matter what facts ultimately emerge.
But this year's deadline broke youand as we reminded you when you "predicted" that, there was nothing different about the moves Dubas made this year than he did in any other year.

Probably wanted more money than shanny and that was a no go.Personally, I still think publicly wondering whether you want to continue in a role and then coming back with a far bigger salary demands (and until disputed, that's what I'm going with) with very limited playoff success is just a huge risk to take and I have to think Kyle's smart enough to realize that's what it was.
Mess doesn't hate the team, he just loves to fuck with the over the top homer kids who feel they need to get into a death match with anyone who dares not toe the company line and worship Dubas. The biggest problem with the board is the homer mods and the mods in general who hide behind a generic account to hand out infractionsOnly a lurker, but I've always found it fitting it's the only board run by a mod that hates the team.
For a job like this especially, yeah absolutely.If your a boss, with a job offer for your employee in hand, and the employee isn't 1000% on board, you move on.
For a job like this especially, yeah absolutely.
Plus, I'm not sure where the swagger went but I still would've expected Kyle to say "fuck yeah, i still have it in me and i know i'm still the one to lead us" to the second part of that question. What happened to that?
Because they know all the bad moves were shanny.Why would they be upset at Dubas being fired if they didnt like the team he built?
Never forget it was tmz that broke the bin laden news
All he had to do was say.." I believe that this team can win a Stanley Cup, and I want to be the gm to get it done".For a job like this especially, yeah absolutely.

First with the tavares confirmation were "Thehockeynews" and IncarceratedBobNever forget it was tmz that broke the bin laden news

He's doing that bit 24/7 though it seems. Nothing is genuine. I don't see the point.Mess doesn't hate the team, he just loves to fuck with the over the top homer kids who dare they need to get into a death match with anyone who dares not toe the company line and worship Dubas.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING
Oil changeI’ll watch any HBO docuseries on the past few months
Somebody somewhere (maybe here?) made a great point about GMs not having any time off. The offseason for players does not apply for GMs. Cannot be easy on any family. Especially not a young family.I've no doubt she threatened to leave. None.
I'd offer to play but...young wayward used to be a chess fiend. been years though.
how does the game play work? like do you sit down and bang out a game or do you get like so much time/move?I'd offer to play but...
