The Mother-fucking goddamn Off-season Thread

Also can't be overlook that #2 and 3 on that list both played for the Soo. Lucked into those. Same with McCann and Timmins.

Also came withh Murray, Mimsy.

But literally his best, most consistent quality was signing guys from the Soo.
 
If he wants to make bank, net more, and have a peaceful home life? There are far worse places.

I'm not at all convinced that Pittsburgh's job will be more money than his MLSE extension would have been.

FSG isn't all that wealthy in the grand scheme of things and Pittsburgh is a mid market city at the best of times. Missing the playoffs is not the best of times.
 
And to elaborate on this.. This glorifying of Kyle has been a bit much. Here is a good thread on his trades as Leafs GM. I don't agree with all of the results in these polls so ignore that, but this is hardly the work of some elite, untouchable GM:



He was good, not great.


Who to blame with potentially losing AM in his prime due to unorthodox contract given out?

How about one playoffs win during tenure?

Kyle should have been let go regardless of all this drama. He reached his limits here.
 
Brodie was an elite move. Analytic driven, top of the lineup, great value. But thats it really.

He's been shockingly average overall, despite the general opinion of him by everyone, including us.

But I guess tahts the reason he took over a 100 point, 3 playoff win team and left us with a 100 point 6* win playoff team.

Nah he took over a mid-90s pt team (sans SO) and left us with a 110pt team (sans SO).

People love to both shit in Dubas for Soo moves…..and give him no credit when they work out. Lol

It's always the net. I'm sure they at least matched what he was offered because he obviously told tlhem what he was offered.

and the wife knew
 
Yeah, easily. That's the one move that jumps out as "I know more than you about the players in your organization" when I look at his track record.

…and I know people are divisive on this, but to me it’s impressive he recognized NHL talent in Holl and Engvall, when seemingly no one else did.

I thought up until the Sandin trade, he also had a pretty damn good track record of knowing the assets to keep, (Lil, Sandin, Knies, etc) and the ones to deal away.

I'd almost guarantee it's less than the deal Shanny had offered him.

This is most certainly a step backwards.
