It's the same old story though. Message board posters think they know how to run the team better than the people actually doing the job. So when the team does something or doesnt do something that the message boarders want or don't want they throw a tantrum.This thread = giant pissing match...
Whole place has become toxic
Sure, second guessing is fine (I would have paid Stastny the 7 mill to stay). But to get so angry about moves or non-moves when you have such little knowledge of what actually happens in practice and behind closed doors seems off to me.
The only thing they did that seemed weird was retaining 50% of Talbots salary. But there is likely a story behind that. Maybe Talbot made a request to go back East and Sakic decided to accommodate it no matter what. Maybe Roy had an issue with him and decided he was willing to eat that salary to get rid of him.
