I want to add, I am legit saddened that Tierney and Balcers are going the other way. But it's the cost of getting the kind of player they got.

Surely there is better available at the price though? Somebody would take a shot at these jobs for peanuts I bet.
Lots of people would take their place. I'd do the job for half the price and have the biggest smile in the country while doing it.
The problem is that you get what you pay for, and anyone BETTER then them with any amount of experience at the job in question isn't willing to settle for a league - minimum salary.
There are only so many elite coaches and GMs to go around. If you're not willing to pay for them, then you're not likely to hire one of them. Best you can do is either give inexperienced people a chance and hope it works out, or take on semi-competent people and hope they get lucky... And neither of those options usually have a high rate of success.
Sounding more and more like melnyk on 1200 now
Hmmm. Not what I remember hearing.
You can't be serious.For all the complaining about Eug, Dorion and Boucher are what's killing us.
I don’t think there has ever been a worse talent evaluator in the league.I don't think Dorion would be trading Erik Karlsson right now if he didn't have to.
It's all BS.
But he's still responsible for that return.
There’s literally only one reason they’re here.For all the complaining about Eug, Dorion and Boucher are what's killing us.

Just because you have to make a trade doesn't mean you need to get bent over. Dorion screwed this up when he refused to entertain a trade at the draft.Do you really believe Dorion was the one who wanted to trade Karlsson, and not Melnyk?
I think the money plays into it for sure. There's a legit argument that a cash strapped team can't win with 10+ million tied up in one player....but there's no excuse for that trade or the Duchene one or the Anderson contract.Do you really believe Dorion was the one who wanted to trade Karlsson, and not Melnyk?

I don't understand the Dorion hate, nobody knows how much EM controls what he does but I as well as a lot of people suspect that EM controls aa.lot.of what Dorion does. If EM told Dorion he wanted EK gone before training camp and this was the best offer, what's he supposed to do? Dorion can't force teams to give him better offers. Melnyk is the villain here, he's the one that wouldn't pay EK to stay.I don't think Dorion would be trading Erik Karlsson right now if he didn't have to.
It's all BS.
But he's still responsible for that return.
