Also love the fact that he isn’t an ‘old boy’The more JG says, the more I like him.

Mad props for that

Definitely a radical departure from Slats. I feel like we'd hear from him once or twice a year randomly and then for a very brief comment after a move was made.I love how accessible he has been.
RE Gorton saying he wants toughness and grit: Pretty confident he doesn't mean McLeod/Glass/Beleskey/etc. and he means more like Andersson/Lindgren/etc. Again, goes into the "character" aspect he's looking for in players along with skill and speed. Also means more about the complacency on the team like when Cody Eakin nailed Lundqvist behind the net.
LMAO Adam Herman got instantly ******** about that quote at face value and was comparing Gorton to Dundon and Bergevin.
Pretty sure he'll draft a safe all-around guy at #8. Maybe a boom/bust with one of the late firsts.
Gorton never said that. The Rangers traded most of their core players for assets, Montreal didnt.
A GM will never admit the players he has aren't good enough.
Bergevin means it though.
He legitimately thinks his goaltender who was one of the worst in the league this year is the be-all-end-all and that Carey Price would have won them the Cup if they just had more character.
He's every bit as bad as Chia, he just had less top assets to squander. He managed to move Subban and Sergachev both for bad returns.Because Bergevin is one of the most deluded GM's in the league.
Not even sure how this guy has a job, he is quickyl reaching Chia levels
Me too. It legitimately warmed my heart when he openly said he wasn't going to consider Messier for coach on the radio yesterday. No beating around it, no maybe - just he's done a lot for the organization but no we're not going to consider candidates with no head coaching experience. Beautiful.The more JG says, the more I like him.
Um? Hello? 2010 Spengler Cup anyone?Me too. It legitimately warmed my heart when he openly said he wasn't going to consider Messier for coach on the radio yesterday.

Tkachuk isn’t my first choice but if they choose him at 8, so be it.
So how high would Chytil go? Tkachuk is only 11 days younger, had 31 points in 40 college games. Chytil had the same 31 points in 46 AHL games. How much better is the AHL than NCAA? Look at the ECHL rosters: a large majority of the ECHL regulars were NCAA or Juniors first liners by the time they left college. Probably 70-75% of NCAA players couldn't keep up in the ECHL right now and most won't be able to even in their prime. The AHL is massively better than the NCAA. Chytil's 31 points are much more impressive than Tkachuk's. Similar size. Same age. Chytil would go at least as high as Tkachuk, probably higher.
Does Gorton even know how to skate?Also love the fact that he isn’t an ‘old boy’

Yeah the lack of identity is not part of a winning formula.
Since they drafted Andersson last season and also seem to have hit on Chytil I feel like they might be more comfortable swinging for the fences this season.
Here's another Gorts quote that I liked:
"we will see what happens. When you say rebuild you are usually talking about a young team and letting players play and giving them chances. We will have a lot of that but it's difficult to have twenty 18, 19, 20 year old players also. We will look at everything, the market and see what players are available and term and money and some character and leadership type players that might help us develop these young guys.
The returns weren't bad, they just haven't worked out.He's every bit as bad as Chia, he just had less top assets to squander. He managed to move Subban and Sergachev both for bad returns.
It makes no point to keep Henrik`s contract or the older core who play the game to participate and want to compete for the cup while doing and announcing a rebuild. And when Henrik go out with a statement next season it should be all about winning and Jeff agree.The point is that actually identifying and addressing a rebuild is one of the most important parts of the process.
I disagree. Weber is older and worse than Subban and Drouin is a complimentary winger, not worth a potential top pairing dThe returns weren't bad, they just haven't worked out.
All players care to win a Cup in their career.If not that is the ultimate goal for Jeff - move players like Henrik, Zucc, Nam, Skjei who care to win a cup in their career.
You can't move Hank, full no trade clause + high salary and sunset of careerIt makes no point to keep Henrik`s contract or the older core who play the game to participate and want to compete for the cup while doing and announcing a rebuild.
