If that's what you want to take away from Andlauer expressing this was not a budget hire, and pointing out he's likely getting paid more than coaches is big markets, then fine.
Why is 4 years unreasonable?
I wonder if that's still true, the latest Forbes numbers are still based of pre-Andlauer revenues, from what I understand, corporate sales went up significantly after the sale, and obviously the attendance has rebounded nicely as well.
I don't think we have any idea if some team was offering say 3 years or not. If there were, then sens tack on a year to seal the deal if Green is the guy they want.
Staios said he didn’t foresee any buyouts at the time of the PC. Hamonic and Forsberg are obvious candidates for buyout if other options to get them off the roster don’t materialize.
There's a couple things a 4 year deal does.
I would say there is no way possible that there wasn't outside pressure given reports that he was in serious consideration for the Kings & Kraken job
Thanks, I was trying to remember which teams I'd heard were interested in Green, Kraken are the one I'd heard, didn't see LAK
Yes, the Staois statement was made at the year end press conference. That wasn’t that long ago, and the situation hasn’t really changed though. Whatever the conditions were then are still applicable now.
My takeaway is that he could have given the number and didn't. Instead, he wants to dance around it with hypotheticals and a seriously pointless benchmark. "Highest paid coach in Sens history"...big f***ing whoop lol. I just don't understand why you're so eager to buy every single thing this guy says like it's gospel.
The word may is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this quote. He won't say how much he's paying the coach but he's
I suspect the sentence above explains your “interpretation” (and motivation of course) of what was said in the subject article.
Jeez, once again, you're searching for reasons to complain,
I don't think there is any chance that Korpisalo is bought out. An 8 year dead money cap hit is brutal, I think Forsberg is replaced by someone who the org thinks can play 40-50 games and Korpisalo is asked to contribute for the rest.
What are you missing ? Andlauer has already grown hockey ops and he's only owned the team for about 8 months.
That we should have the same standards and critiques for all people at all levels of this team? Or you don't give so much of a shit about that anymore?
LOL searching for reasons to complain...it's honestly beyond comprehension the lengths you'll go to carry water for these guys. I can tell you one thing, I don't feel entitled to anything with this team. But if you're someone who's sniffing out the bullshit, it stands out when the owner tells you they're going to be "best in class" but won't say how much they pay the coach, while only offering some wishy washy hypotheticals that can't be substantiated. If he wasn't worried about the perception of who they hired and how much they're paying him, he would have given a real figure. Anyway, carry on believing what you wanna believe, it makes no difference to me.
I think we all see what you are trying to do. Perhaps you should just change your username and you won't have to wear all the justifications you gave for Dorion and Melnyk and can just have normal discussions without worrying about hypocrisy.
Based on what we've seen, it sounds like he's probably between 2 and 3, nobody is suggesting he's at the top of the current coaches which tends to be 4-5 mil, all that was suggested is based on Andlauer's comments, he was not a budget driven hire.
Yes, they may not want to buy out the Korpse. They may go with a 1a/1b situation and then eventually give the hot hand a bigger percentage of games. Part of the thinking of my previous post was reflecting on this boards sentiments and who the most ire is directed against.
