wat

 

[Auto Pilot]

Well shit

 

[NJersey]

What in the world

 

[Azathoth]

Say what?

 

[Sir Fenwick Corsi]

Why do I have a feeling Ray is going to wind up with the Preds in some capacity?

 

[Japam]

Oh snap

 

[R8Devs]

wow this came out of nowhere

 

[vtdevils2k]

Some of ya'll will be happy with this..


I'm shocked wow

 

[Better Call Sal]

Holy shit!

what a bombshell.

 

[Azathoth]

Please give Castron a boatload of money to stay.

 

[NJDevils17]

Feels super bizarre and I’m sure there’s something to the story but I think the ownership was impatient and tired of going nowhere

 

[ChicksDigTheTrap]

WOW! Good time to bury a big story is during an NFL playoff game.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

That’s extremely surprising. There must’ve been a significant difference of opinion about what to do at the deadline.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Please give Castron a boatload of money to stay.

If Castron goes so do i, we are a package deal

 

[Better Call Sal]

Fitz in the interim role with Marty advising.

Marty GM, Stevens Coach?

 

[ScottyK]

That’s extremely surprising. There must’ve been a significant difference of opinion about what to do at the deadline.

I can only think harris wants to speed it up by supplementing the roster with free agents and stuff like that...which ray has been against thinking it will amount to nothing but early exits and a eventual blow up.

Ray's probably right

 

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

Hate this move. Shero was not the problem in New Jersey and this was done just to implement "change".

 

[NJersey]

what the?? this makes no sense..

 

[NJDevils17]

I would be fine keeping Fitz around. I wonder if it’s one of those things where they felt like they had to get rid of Shero to keep Fitz.

 

[NjDevs4994]

I bet Harris saw the writing on the wall with season ticket holders not wanting to renew and that significantly effected his decision.

 

[Blender]

He deserved it, but I'm actually surprised by the timing. I presume they didn't trust him to be making the moves at the deadline if they cut him loose now, I wonder if Fitzgerald will be doing it or they have a new hire lined up?

 

[Better Call Sal]

I definitely don’t agree with it and the timing is incredibly bizarre.

 

[njdevils1982]

WOW

what the f*** just happened

 

[Colin226]

My guess is this is something not related to his performance as GM. Like someone has dirt on him... just a guess given the other firings recently...
