The Mother-fucking goddamn Off-season Thread

How many points does Kerfoot need to get on Sids wing for you people to crack each others heads open and feast on the goo inside?

 

[Hoss]

Look at how Matthews and laine look at eachother.

Dubas not taking another job immediately could easily be career suicide tbh.

Yep. Gotta strike while the iron is hot. Mark Hunter has now gone 5 years and still can't get hired. Dubas is a big sexy name now. Won't be if he's unemployed for a long time.

Integrity be damned, Pittsburgh here I come.

And again, it was two weeks, not next week, just as I promised.

 

[Artnes]

POHO would be the ideal position. Less stress and spotlight

Brother of Dale

who is Mark Hunter?

He is the current GM of the London Knights. He was part of the Leafs management when they drafted Marner against Babcock's wishes. (Babcock wanted Hanafin)
Hunter, is an excellent judge of jr talent specifically for the London Knights. He is notorious for stocking the Knights with a steady flow of quality players.

His record of drafting at the NHL level is nowhere near as good as it is at the OHL

I do kinda wonder if some of these guys are inadvertently confirming each other’s bullshit rumours but we’ll see.

They need eyeballs and column inches.

Who is this guy is that wrote this?

Who is this guy is that wrote this?

a lot of "I am told" and "I am led to believe" s about things all of us here already know, most of it just from listening to the press conferences.

The only thing that would be "news" in the whole article is that one quoted by Editor J in that tweet there.

I'm not sure how plausible that is and it's obviously self serving. But I guess it's possible that we did miss out on a number of big name Dmen because shanny couldn't be arsed to get dubas a prompt response.

From the description sounds like an alt presto account.

 

[CH1]

Seems weird that Dubas needed consent from the board given that the salary cap imposes it’s own constraints.

Ya sure, that's why Karlsson ended up getting traded elsewhere.

He only responded to the McCabe request.

I'm sure at the trade deadline, Shanny was like "gimme another couple of days to get back to you, Dubie".

 

[Preston]

In any event between this rando and mirtle there are strong hints of "dubas was about to light the world on fire with a super mega awesome d but the other team couldn't wait for the red tape."

But it just leaves me with more questions. If true there's a bunch of missing information.

I wonder if Kyle asked for approval to trade for Murray
