Trade Deadline

Went back to look at my Treliving receipts....

I'm still of the opinion that Dubas earned his walking papers even without this melodrama, but if we hire Treliving that will convince me that Shanny should have gone out the door at the same time.

When asked who my 3 nightmare GM options where

Bergevin, Chiarelli, Treliving

I'll be honest. One of my bigger concern points with the Treliving hiring is how far ahead the media knew what was going on in general and specifically how far ahead Dreger knew it was basically done.

The media has existed in the cone of silence for 8-9 years now, but suddenly as soon as Treliving is involved the media is out ahead of the story.

yep, I'll go from #fireeveryone to #fireeveryonepart2electricboogaloo if we hire Treliving

Meh, it's a known that Treliving is on the phones a lot, and keeping tabs on prices/players - I wouldn't count that against him.

The oldboy way of doing things is to keep your thumb on everything, which also drives the prices up for everyone else.
 
Eh, I don't think we weren't on the phones a lot over the last bunch of years and it was the Leafs instagram that broke our moves more than anywhere else and usually with little or no warning from the media that we were even in on the player added.

Treliving just runs a leaky, leaky operation.
 
One of the few times something leaked under dubas was the negotiation with Chicago for bagel. Dubas threw a bitch fit over that getting out. The shoe salesman clearly doesn't give a fuck.
 
CJ seems to always have been the organizations mouth piece. Mirtle and friends got thrown a few bones over the years but generally when CJ said something it had some weight

If that relationship still stands is another story but if it does then I'm not hopeful for the future based on the targeted names
 
The funny thing is, they're going to make (and have made) a bunch of stupid fucking moves that all of us will bitch about for months, and then somehow the big boys will power their way to a cup and validate everything they did.

This is what I tell myself.
