Around the League vol 3: March 2, Firing.

[Mr Hockey]

Also, Dermott was a Dubas pick not Hunter.

Hunter was in charge of the draft and scouting, Dubas was Marlies GM, I doubt he did any scouting in his spare time

 

[Mr Hockey]

Tampa does and it seems to work out for them.

your that familiar with Tampa's prospects and there drafting, eh...

 

[Slyfox]

 

[Menzinger]

Lolololol

I've seen Kyle at a Colts game in the past while he was working for the Leafs so he absolutely has scouted for them.

ok

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Vegas with 4 powerplays in the 3rd period (well, one carried over for 90 seconds). Leafs would be lucky if they got that over 2 games. must be nice

 

[LeafSteel]

Really upset Chia’s been fired.

Was hoping we could hood wink McDavid out of him. Now I guess not....

 

[Einzakin]

I hate to be dramatic but Chia has got to be the worst GM of all time. After doing some good in Boston, he really f***ed himself. I can't imagine how one can think it was a smart move to do the things he did.

 

[BertCorbeau]

For all the talk about Tampa’s dominance, the Flames are making quite the push themselves.

The Lindholm and Hanifin trade was a good one for them

The City of Edmonton needs to take back responsibility for their water treatment program. Let the Edmonton Oilers worry about hockey.

Heh. I felt the same although a bit less ambitious. I was thinking about Klefbom as a Gardiner replacement. I could see him do a reverse Chiarelli and make a big downgrade just to get some scoring back. "One step forward, three step back" is his favorite move after all.

 

[Nineteen67]

What do we do for the next 5 days?

 

[Melo Meds]

He probably knew it would end his career if he said yes.

 

[DarkKnight]

Andy third in mid season Vezina voting, Reilly second for Norris AND Lady Byng. Fossil Lou, who completely ruined our envy of the league franchise and is still a mentor to Dubas according to Kyle, third for GM of year.

 

[DarkKnight]

He probably knew it would end his career if he said yes.

On that note, looks more and more like Eakins might get another NHL job. Thought he was done after that clusterf***.

 

[Trapper]

To bad. His first trade could have been McDavid to the Leafs. Then resign.

 

[ACC1224]

Is there a reason why anyone would believe this?
The Oilers are a pretty dysfunctional franchise but at the very least they will interview candidates before offering them jobs.

Still could happen. Jake makes a lot of sense for them as he can QB their PP.

 

[diceman934]

i don't know why anyone would want the job. I mean. Chia was dumbo. and I always said he was. but it's clear as spit that that the issue lays with the fact that Kaatz has his fingers in all the pie and it wouldn't surprise me if Lowe etc influence some aspects of everything.

Your right Daisy but the fact that non of the old boys are front and center right now shows that perhaps that they have learned that they need to step back and zip it.

The owner has also been silent and maybe he has also learned that it is better to be seen and not heard.

No one has been offered the job as of yet and I can think of one real good reason why someone will want the job. Connor!

It was a good trade for them.
And they changed the coach.

The trade was a hockey trade, and they moved good assets to accomplish it. They paid well and were rewarded well. Not some TDD throwing away assets hoping they get 2 months of value.

No reason at all. I do not believe that Nicholson is that stupid.

I'm assuming it was posted as a joke, I hope nobody is dumb enough to believe it? lol

Seems like some do, even took it to the main boards.

That person is now claiming that he has now turned down a chance to interview for the job. Nothing but a fan with no inside info at all. It was not posted as a joke. But quickly changed the tune when it was posted elsewhere
