Kendrick 4,741 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Well eight seasons will conclude at the end of this upcoming season. Figured I'd join a team that has a chance at knocking off Helsinki and then hopefully exposing the NA Conference. Not a bad career thus far winning a cup in Season 42. Won a Alexander Beketov Trophy and hopefully an Orr Trophy from this past season. On to a different player (my 27th in this league). Cheers!

Devise 4,475 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 My greatest regret as GM was not trusting my instincts with both you and O'Malley. I was so afraid of "losing value" that I quickly traded you, and him, at the first opportune times. While you weren't as big of a award winner you still had a solid career and you have to be the frontrunner for the Labatte this season. Good luck with the next one sir, was fun GMing Richardson for a portion.

Good luck with the next one sir, was fun GMing Richardson for a portion. I think overall I would've had to leave anyways when it came to cap. That and I always felt Richardson was second fiddle to Green. No offence to him but he did demand a lot more from the organization. I'm happy I was able to stay put in successful playoff teams in all 7 seasons so far, one more to go!

But being your captain for the past few seasons I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't tell you to claim your Training Camp and other things when they pop up. Might as beat beat Depreciation by a bit. It was an honour to play as your defensive partner and I wish you all the best in your personal life as I know it has been hard.

Given I had to wait to retire him, I won't lead the draft class either. There is a good chance I'll be 4th overall!
