Francois Allaire is the goaltending coach in Colorado.
you really think roy has no part in that
how else do u explain the radical change in his play from last year to this with that same goaltending coach

I'll concede, the value we got for Varly seemed great at the time. But then we squandered the return, and now Varly is blossoming. Things change, grades are updated, this isn't college.

Roy gave credit for Varlamov’s success to François Allaire, his former goaltending coach
I completely disagree with that mentality. You judge a trade based on the value of a player at the time of the trade. At the time of the trade, GMGM got good value for Varly. At the time of the trade, GMGM got terrible value for Forsberg. It doesn't matter what Forsberg does from now on, he could be a total bust, but at the time of the trade, GMGM failed to get the return he could have gotten. That trade will always be a massive failure.
There’s always been talk that Cooper was McPhee’s choice while upper management wanted Oates.
curious. would have you have traded for pronger? alzner, varly and a 1st?
*Fart noise* *Honks horn*Here's something interesting:

Why does that matter? Do you have some sort of hypothetical outcome that allows you to grade that decision?
The answer sort of depends on if you think we are one player away right then and there, and that player is a Pronger.
I don't think we've ever really been one player away from a Cup. I think we've been marginally competitive in the playoffs.
I don't know. I see you trashing trades. I thought I would ask you about one.
how good is Forsberg going to be?

The dude who wrote this is a piece of trash, and doesn't even mention the reason for the confrontation, but this has to be McPhee's greatest moment.
I really liked GMGM back then. This was an epic moment.
It's ironic though. He eeked out a living by fighting. Yet doesn't want fights in a meaningless game, risking his skill players, even though Chicago loaded up, he played the passive card. He doesn't dress any goons and sure enough a prospect of his got ruined. And then goes and fights after the game after making a huge statement that he doesn't want fighting.
He should have been as mad at himself as at the Blackhawks.
It was cool that he stood up for his players but it was too little to late. He ****ed up.
I can't remember the cap that got injured, but I think Remi concussed one of our players who was never the same afterwards. Trevor Halverson?

Eagles Soar! Eagles never fought, maybe once. Simon may have been there, I don't recall. It was not televised.
It was Trevor. Not that we had much luck drafting LWs but still. What was George expecting, his young players trying to make impression to turn the other cheek in an era when it was common for there to be fights in the NHL?
George chose the wrong time to make a statement against fighting in the NHL. He should have done it in the off season.
As I recall, the Caps had about given up on Halverson as a scoring winger by that time. But he might've made it as a grinder. 3rd or 4th line guy.

but you see, he wasnt. there was no statement, about fighting in hockey, being made by him with his request to the blackhawks.
everybody knows in preseason hockey players drop the mitts trying to impress, it happens. what chicago was doing was taking it to another level entirely, they were playing preseason games like they were the BSB and big bad bruins combined, when it wasnt needed.
