Phil Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 1 minute ago, Pete said: Again ... Why now? Because this was always the outcome. The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago but the second best time to plant a tree is today. Allowing this guy, who completely fucked this team, to navigate the TDL only to fire him this summer, would be folly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allowing this guy, who completely fucked this team, to navigate the TDL only to fire him this summer, would be folly. They should have fired him with Babcock. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Maybe we can get Jenner by trading our 1st round pick now??? ....I'm trying here! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooksBurner Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Who's going to pull the trigger on deadline deals for them? The really only have Roslovic who is expected to be moved I guess. A new GM will probably want to make his stamp in the summer. They will be busy then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsm7302 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I'd imagine and trade talks between JD or Gorton and Drury end one of two ways. Either hanging up the phone prematurely or baiting Drury all day on TDL day to the point where all the real wants are off the board and then declining an offer to put Drury out in the cold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drury, JD and Gorton pull off a multi player trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot allow this guy, who was always getting fired, handling trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I keep thinking this team would take a step forward and at least get to a point of playing meaningful hockey down the stretch, if not a playoff team. Maybe the east is just too deep to break through on, but still, this firing was a long time coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot allow this guy, who was always getting fired, handling trades. JD is a great guy, can't take that away from him but he should have been shown the door. He's presided over the shitshow. The BJ's maybe not willing to swallow the rest of his contract which when signed in 2021 was for 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Columbus is a decent hockey market (I guess), but how about moving them along with the Coyotes instead of continuing to add teams and dilute things even further? That franchise has almost always been a shit show. What do they have, like one, maybe two playoff series wins in their history? It's been about 23 years.

Sod16 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 It's a joke that this league is in Columbus and not in Houston. Could someone explain to me what, if anything, a non-GM team President does? If JD is such a great hockey mind and administrator, why doesn't just become a GM somewhere? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
