Just to be clear, Nicholson made it clear during the Chiarelli-firing press conference that it was not PC’s decision to extend Koskinen. That decision was made by the current management team.

Which is scary.

Exactly. But for whatever reason, people still seem to forget that. It's like they've been listening to too much Bob Stauffer. Blaming everything on Chiarelli yet not even mentioning existing management.

Nicholson said himself it was a group decision by who is still here not Chiarelli at that point so you should probably let them know instead.

I don't buy a word that man says. He's not going to publicly humiliate himself and senior management (MacT, Lowe, W. Gretzky) if he said Chiarelli negotiated it himself. That would make them look so bad. You're planning on firing a guy, but he's still allowed to be making deals. CYA...cover your ass. That's what that explanation was.

The Manning trade, Strome trade and Koskinen extension is enough proof for me he was still making deals on his own. The teams performance, tumble down the standings and mass amounts of non-renewals of season tix did Chiarelli in.

Where's the girl farting in the pool gif? That's pretty appropriate right now.
