Exactly. Hair gel boy can go suck a bag of dicks.

@Molholt I think you better go tell him he scored so he comes back

Not too shabby

Yikes thats some horrible defending.

I think it will be a short spell

I'd get over it within 5 minutes. I've been on this site for 49 seasons, if that bugs you then a rude awaken is in your future. I've seen this countless times and would rather point to retention than whine about the unfortunate transaction. As a GM it's your responsibly to insight a positive attitude (even in this situation) in hopes that maybe the member comes back and stays active. If he came back he wouldn't be on your team (with a new player possibly) but you have to set a good example. If you disagree (which you are allowed) maybe the GM job isn't the best area to be. Because as a league it's not like 5 recruits are coming in every day, which means retention is half the battle guys like myself have to battle.

It's his player! Why are we blaming, when in reality the impression we make now might have a lasting effect on whether he re-joins down the line. This is the problem with retention, stop with the ill will (especially as a GM).

Who cares, let him do what he wants. We should be positive when people like him come back, so they stick around.

Because he missed in the Champions League final. PK's will haunt him for quite a while whether they lost that game or did what they did.

Congrats @Toast, well deserved!

Yeah thats what good coaching will do, teach you the fundamentals. I don't like the Devils fans who said DeBoer sucked here in NJ. He did very well and went to the finals!

True plus they had Bortuzzo and at one point Steve Mason on that roster.

Sure was, and not to mention it was Boedker without Landeskog. So it's not like anyone can say he was carried.

Yeah I find that weird. He called his shot and then messed up, what an idiot. Bastian flubbed his and I really was hoping out of all the shooters he would be the one to score. It will haunt him for years.

I caught wind that he was retiring from International play.

Yeah was one of the big selling points having his OHL coach in the NHL now.

First and foremost, I'm glad to have been able to watch Gigi Buffon play Football. He was such a joy to watch and one of the classiest individuals to lace up the boots. WOOOOOOOOOOO! Got by on the skin our our teeth. I hate PK's regardless of the outcome but glad to have pulled out one of the worst PK displays in Euro history.

@VHLSC will only be putting names without the extra capitals letters in. New Rule they passed.

At 2.5? I don't know about that being the worst.

He has that there because he has a boy crush on me. Much like you and I had a crush on all three Hanson brothers from the band.

I am a noob, Steam is for PC right?

When they are your team, you don't suffer but just watch the process play out haha. I don't think its an overpayment as 2.1 M in this market is relatively low. I think he got paid on the grounds that he is an established NHL player, but not one that will improve or weaken your lineup. I'm not the biggest fan of him and he won't provide you with any offence. Most of his points in his career are assists, which isn't bad but he doesn't generate a lot of opportunities in the other end. Defensively he isn't the best but he won't be a total liability. I thought SJ could have got someone like Demers back.

Oh yeah I forgot about how everything Sportsnet does is the be all end all. I take it Sportsnet was able to erase his prior NHL history in LR's as well? Please show us your inability to pick up on things more.

i heard differently then. It sounded like he was the same piece of shit who was in Nashville, but like I said we'll see. Of course fans will be juiced any time a free agent signs, so well see what the reaction is half way through the season.

Oh no way anyone can deny his goal scoring ability, its the personality he has to adjust and maybe he will. Word from the KHL is that he hasn't really changed it since the last NHL experience. Lots of questions, we'll see.
