So Garrioch states he's heard we like nurse, at 5. Good thing this guy gets nothing right.
We are all over the trade rumors. I read Brendan smith and detroits 18 for our 5th. Don't like that.
everywhere these guys and gals are stating stuff. little that i've read has come true and most of it is just wild arse speculation and made up **** based on imaginary "sources claim".
speaking of these beat writers or the media without saying what i assume most think in general, and with no offense to those that aspire to pursue sports writing, it must sure be a relief for alot of players to play for a team like carolina. jordan got out of the zoo that is in pittsburgh and semin, washington finally.
semin especially may have settled for any reasonable deal to elude that persistent hell he was constantly exposed to (maybe it's why an extention was struck so quickly because he made it clear that he had no interest in chasing the open market for the highest bidder). could be why he didn't push for a nmc of any kind and took a chance. it's pretty clear he's happy here and must feel very confident being that he just recently bought a new home. makes me think that he must have had a talk with jr prior to taking that step.
one would think that while some guys revel in the attention, most would be very content to avoid it altogether. really, what better place to play and live? it may well be a drawing card for some players particularly the europeans if this franchise was so inclined to hire them.
which brings me back to nurse in a round about way. from what i have gathered he may just be jr's kind of guy and as it's obviously a pet peeve of mine, i have the feeling that we won't see jr draft any of the europeans even if barkov or nichushkin are still on the board and opt instead for monahan as has been mentioned for example.
then again this is just my opinion and total wild arse speculation.
