All-Things-Chiarelli & The Front Office

[qc]

Figured we might need a fresh one.

I know emotions are high, so I hooked it up with a vanilla/non-confrontational title. That's the best I can do.

So injuries are the GM's fault, am I doing it right?

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Cuz we needed yet another thread for people to go crazy on Chia? It's already happening in about 5 different threads

no, being so naive as to think injuries won't happen is the GM's fault.

Take it up with the mods if you wish. I saw 42 pages on a thread, so I figured there'd be good reason to make a new one.

And let's not be unfair here, there are plenty of people defending Chia and offering counterpoints.

You know there is a salary Cap now, right? Teams can't stockpile players "just in case" of injury.

I feel like Custer at Little Big Foot

you know the Bruins were cap compliant before the Boychuk trade, right?

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

This team's in trouble without Chara whether Boychuk is still here or not.

so Boychuk would have made no difference? Is that what you're saying? Come on.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

I do.

What happened when Campbell came back? Just saying you can't store stuff away for a rainy day anymore in a Cap league.

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

Of course he'd make a difference.

Are you saying if Boychuk was here this team wouldn't be in trouble?

 

[LSCII]

I'm really starting to dig this new and improved Russell...

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

NOBODY is saying that. That doesn't in any way refute that we'd be much better off *with* Boychuk right now.

I think we have more in common than you think...I just have more patience. and I'm all out of patience.

Watch out, Lonnie has a stalker!

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

I do.

Campbell was on the cap the whole time. He wasn't on LTIR. They cleared the cap once they signed Krug and Smith on the cheap.

Trade Rask and start the re-build.

 

[doubleminor138]

Well, I am not prepared to smash the management. But I have always been a proponent of strong defensive depth over forward depth. This team always seems to overvalue its young, inexperienced defensemen over their young forwards.

 

[22Brad Park]

Bruins are gonna rise to this n shock nhl.Wait n see.Them kids on D are gonna pull together and show everyone its bout name on front not back.

 

[LouJersey]

Still thankful we have that defensive surplus Chia bragged about in September.

Everyone has been pissed since the Boychuck trade, the Miller injury, and now this.

The thing to do now, at least for me, is step back and lower expectations. They either play through these losses or they don't. We're going to find out very quickly either way.

It is what it is.

Pretty much this...not really much we can do right now..

I think Chia has made some mistakes but curious to hear who would be a better choice from those who say he failed. If you owned the team who would be your GM
