He was one of the longest tenured amateur scouts with the team, so it begs the question, why?

Time for a change, money? , who knows?

Maybe he was disappointed that Churla got the promotion over him a few years back.

Time for a change, money? , who knows?

I suppose he was looking for advancement and saw better opportunities elsewhere. He wasn't anchored here like a serf or a slave.

I heard from a source he thought the grass was greener in Alberta.

McDavid effect

 

[NobleSix]

Save yourselves while you still can!

 

[Habaneros]

Not a big deal...

He spent 11 years with the NJ Devils.....

He went to Ottawa in 1999 and left Ottawa in 2008 for the Habs....

Now he's doing what he did in 2008 and heading to Edmonton in 2016....

Everyone got a shelf life .....

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

As soon as I figure out who he is, I'm going to be really angry about this!

Seriously though, it could be any number of reasons. I don't think this is something to be worried about.

Frank moves around,this is his 4th club ...


New Jersey 11 years
Ottawa from 1999 to 2008
Montreal 2008 to 2016
Edmonton 2016 to ???

Probably wanted to move up in the org but didn't see room. Bergevin only promoting "his" guys.

 

[LastWordArmy]

Perfect opening to hire Scott Luce.

.........while you ponder that thought, I'm gonna go sit on my boat and sip back on a samosa and have myself a nice breakfast.

 

[BIG GIFS]

He probably saw that Trevor Timmins was here to stay and he has a better shot at becoming the top guy elsewhere.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

One of the early signs that the rapture is coming.

 

[Justin11]

Wait! what? who??

I laughed too hard when I read "samosa"

Put it in the blender with a few ice cubes and you have yourself a hell of a cocktail

Came here in 2008...last good draft for Timmins was 2007. Wonder if there is a connection?

Do you sort of hollow it out and fill it with lassi?

 

[LaP]

Only the captain has to stay on the boat while it is sinking
