Yeah plus Murray is also better then mrazek but we literally don’t have any picks this year to get that done unless rd 1 is in play.I think we kinda know what the cost will be.
--> $4.7m hit for 2yrs cost Ottawa a 3rd and a 7th to dump on us
--> $3.8m hit for 2yrs cost us 13 spots in the draft to dump on chicago (probably worth something like a 3rd and a 7th too).
$4.7m for 1yrs should cost us less than that do ditch on someone.
Treliving is going to have to construct a near-completely different roster around them.
Bunting was great until he wasn’tI mean....that was always the best idea going forward anyway. The rest of the forward roster was a grim shitshow.
To put it mildly.I mean....that was always the best idea going forward anyway. The rest of the forward roster was a grim shitshow.
Presidents make more money, take way less heat and make decisions behind the scenes as opposed to being labled with them.And I saw clips of the Dubie presser just now. Two things.
He really comes off as having a big head now, very arrogant, overconfident.
Next, I don't really get why he'd want to graduate to a president role. I'd think a GM wants to continue GMing for as long as he can, since being the trigger man on the decisions that form the team is the ultimate high. And if you haven't even come close to success in the position yet (one series win EVER), you'd want to press on and do your thing and win some cups. Do you really want to supervise someone else who gets to be the guy? I understand at like 50-60 years old, having won some Cups as GM, then stepping aside and taking on a higher position, but now? Very weird, seems to indicate a lack of that competitive spirit that I noted I saw in Treviling earlier. Dubie is sort of a passionless money-grubber from the looks of things, and that public meltdown in the box was likely more about wanting to win to solidify his bargaining position for more dough.
Yeah in these cases they are just parts of the team and do more press work.In a lot of organizations, the President is really the GM. Title creep has been a pretty significant thing in sports for a while now.
Its actually weird for a titled GM to have as much decision making latitude as Dubas had here. Bobby Webster doesn't for the raptors and neither does Atkins for the Jays.
tbh it's fricken hilarious how the twitter mood has changed thanks to the duelling press conference today.
