I thought Kerfoot kind of sucked. Weird to trade Hallander and a 7th to protect him.

[King]

 

Not great, chief

There’s been some questionable selections so far, curious to see what trades they make.

[RobinThicc]

They want cap space.

 

They probably end up signing guys like Hamilton and Landeskog lol.

Rumor is there are a lot of side deals aka extra incentives heading Seattle's way

Good for them if they can pull it off

[King]

I cannot believe Seattle didn't make a single side deal. Why the hell did they draft so many s*** players?

 

Like seriously, Kurtis MacDermid? Will Borgen? Wtf? They probably drafted about 8 or 9 bums.

[P2F]

Staggering incompetence. Francis is no McPhee.

[Laika]

Legit have never heard of like eight players they picked. Wow.

That's not a very good team at the moment.

Carolina trades Nedeljkovic to Detroit for a 3rd and Jon Bernier (pending UFA), and then Detroit signs him to a 2-year deal worth 3mil AAV.

 

In other news, the Oilers are kicking the tires on Rasmus Ristolainen and are about to lock up Zach Hyman to an 8 year deal

 

What the hell is wrong with this league?

[P2F]

The Nedeljkovic trade is shockingly bad. Someone needs to lose their job over this.

[BTS]

Doesn't Carolina have one of the most advanced FO's in the league?

I've read that before.

 

You can probably just sort by team Corsi and get a rough idea.

 

Also you can just scope staff directories for windows into the front office. Carolina has these:

 

Senior Developer, Hockey Operations Kevin Kan

Data Engineer Matt Walter

Data Scientist Margaret Cunniff

 

A team like the Ducks has literally no positions on their staff directory that seem advanced.

Seattle has a large front office with smart people too and it didn't seem to show for the expansion draft. They really talked themselves up too.

[Krylian]

I guess Seattle should fold. These past 24 hours is all some people needed to see.

Lmao

Ottawa's Director of hockey operations was the team's data analyst for multiple years despite having no background or experience in data analysis. They have an analytics consultant who isn't even a full-time employee of the team. There's nobody else.

 

This is how you end up trading a 2nd round pick for Derek Stepan and signing Matt Murray to an absurd deal because he has Stanley Cup pedigree.

Yzerman's going to build a monster in Detroit as he did with Tampa.

Okay.

[King]

Somehow this story keeps getting worse and worse. Still flying under the radar. Hopefully the right people are held responsible for this.

[King]

If you haven't heard of this, this isn't even the full story.

 

 

One of the coaches on the Blackhawks at the time went to senior management and asked them to file a police report (they didn't). Aldrich left the team voluntarily and then was given a letter of recommendation by the org. to work for a HS team, where he proceeded to molest an underage high school player there.

 

 

Absolutely f***ed.

[Brownie19]

Jesus christ - churches and dressing rooms, the hot spot for raping kids and then brushing it under the rug. Really sad. This is why we have the '2 deep' rules in place now and coaches can't drive kids to practice/games to help parents out. f***ing sickos.

[wilko]

That sick f*** should be set on fire in public.

[RobinThicc]

Holy f***. Knowing about this guy and still writing a LOC. Not filing a police report when asked to.

 

Gross s*** from chicago. f*** them.

It's f***ed up. How about throwing homophobic slurs at a rape victim for years after the incident? I hope the names of these f***ers gets released.

[Spanky99]

Yikes!
