Nobody should be surprised that Kurz needles people he disagrees with in the most ignorant fashion imaginable. It's kind of what he does. There's no such thing to him as taking the high road.
Speculation: 2018-2019 Sharks Roster Discussion Part II

He’s sets the standard for unprofessionalism among members of the media.
He's showing that touch this season. Almost a point a game carrying whatever line he's on. He's the McDavid Stopper on the team. If he keeps up this scoring pace I think the Sharks have their #1 center. Sure he may not be what Jumbo was in his prime but most teams don't get HOF for their #1. You can never have too many centers but I'm liking the center depth on this team right now considering Shovels & Gambrell aren't even with the big club right now.

It's OK. He doesn't have to be professional here. He can go back to The Athletic where the paywall tends to weed out most of the people who would care to criticize him and instead leaves him with little more than a happy echo chamber telling him how great his writing is and bowing to whatever takes he chooses to bleat out.
As long as he fails to understand that the writers who have good relationships with the fanbase at wide do so because they treat the audience with respect even when they don't necessarily deserve it, he's going to keep occupying the niche he does.
Yeah you have to move Vlassic to sign the bread man. I just don't see DW going into next season with that roster. I seriously doubt Heed resigns too.

Heed has an NHL future, IMO. He has too much offensive talent to not carve out a place somewhere in the league as a secondary offensive threat.
He's really wasted on San Jose; I understand why DeBoer wants to sit him when he already has Karlsson and Burns.

I sympathize with Kurz in that there are a lot of dumb, aggressive, and opinionated people on the internet who absolutely hounded him. Yes, Kurz should be used to it and should ignore all the dumb stuff...but there was so much of it.
Perhaps Kurz's own hyperbole is just a response/reflection of that

Schlemko was not used to his strengths when he was in SJ. It's not the end of the world. Just a footnote. Fine.
McPhee definitely did not have a "misstep" in selecting him and immediately flipping him for a pick. I don't see where that part of the comment is headed at all. McPhee took a few too many dmen and wasn't able to flip them all, but Schlemko was not one of them.

Dillon would have been the superior pick, and I for one was very please Schlemko got picked instead. I seem to recall that others here were more indifferent about losing either. I'm a big Dillon fan though

no you had people here thinking we shoulda went 4-4 to protect schlemko.... Kurz is an idiot but in this case he has a valid case considering we'd of lost a much better player at the expense of schlemko...
and if you point that out to anyone here... Ou boy Schlemko was gonna be a bonafide top 4 D.
The sharks went the other way so they could protect tierney, carpenter, melker karlsson Such important players.
Tierney was the corner stone off the Erik Karlsson trade...

That trade could of been done even without tierney.
They still protected carpenter and melker karlsson.
Carpenter being someone that played 16 games and was then put on waivers to be picked up by vegas any ways.
weastern bias
worst team in the league
Packaging between one and three first round picks was the cornerstone of the Erik Karlsson trade
He doesn’t have a valid case for two reasons. Nobody ever said Schlemko would be a hall of famer and if McPhee could’ve gotten a mere 4th round pick out of Dillon at the time, he would have chosen him. Dillon was not worth much of anything at the time. He was a 3+ mil third pairing d-man who had to be carried by Schlemko to play moderately well for his spot and pay.
And has done well there. Schlemko is on waivers now. Let’s see if any of the other 30 teams claim him.

BRAVO! BRAVO!
He brings all that stuff on himself. That stuff is what he wants so that he gets the attention he desires. It's not something to be sympathetic towards since he has instigated the large majority of it with his own incompetence.
