Bob Green has changed his Linkedin job as being "Scout for free agents" interesting wording

This is my take on Bob Green and the Reinhart trade

my site is about Hockey and travel--I am heading to Thailand to teach English(pause for laughter) in September for the month. So I will also be adding stuff about travel, the planning of my trip and me teaching English there

This was a brutal read.

Lots of errors, and not just the grammar ones. Hall wasn’t traded two weeks after the Reinhart trade...

There’s not a lot of substance, just a lot of heresay of a head amateur guy giving his two cents on a player he had in junior.

No matter what happened afterwards, it is the first what happened at the draft to July 1st that killed the oilers for many years to come.
3 moves killed the Edmonton Oilers in the Summer of 15 but it was Bob Green's information that started it. Managers build off of decisions they make and Chiarelli took Bob Green's info a ran with it. That was his decision.


I clearly state that it was over a period of time that the 3 moves happened

Reinhart trade--Hall Trade-Lucic signing--

it was about a two week period

and we are still paying to this day

As for hearsay--google Reinharts scouting reports

he was compared to Pronger in many--he went 4th for a reason

also I am not a fan of wix as somethings just jumbled as I post them

Paragraphs are getting merged

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

Holy f***, Reinhart was traded in 2015.

Hall was traded in 2016. Lucic signed in 2016.

That’s not a period of two weeks.

 

[Stud Muffin]

The Hall Trade and Lucic signing were in 2016 like come on dude, if your gonna try your hand at writing at least be factually correct about the timeline of events in this organization.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Holy ****, Reinhart was traded in 2015.

Hall was traded in 2016. Lucic signed in 2016.

That’s not a period of two weeks.

now that is constructive criticism of me getting carried away--I had a brain fart there

see how this works

I post something and you point out what I got wrong

I did that in my original post.

I don’t want to be overly harsh though. I used to write for a couple sites a few years back. I’d also double check for spelling mistakes because if there’s too many, it looks really amateurish.

Blogging is fun though. Especially when you’re not focused on view counts or advertising because that’s what killed it for me.

 

[Stud Muffin]

You say Bob Green was the director of amateur scouting when he was and still is the Director of player personnel.

Re- Reinhart and Bob Green its been out there for a long time now that this was Chiarelli’s decsion, Stauffer has said on Oilers now that Chiarelli asked Green about Reinhart and Green told him he hadn’t seen him play that season. This was a Chiarelli decision, at the end of the day.

Quick question.

Why won't you edit any mistakes...

 

[Drivesaitl]

Not really seeing the relevance of blog spam posting here. When last checked this kind of thing was discouraged.

process to show growth of what I do

might not make sense--but a buddy of mine who is a pretty big youtube blogger got into trouble due to his old vlogs on the site(he was a shock vlogger for awhile)

he could have taken them down--but he wanted them as post marks to see where he started, where he is and where is he going

his agent even told him to take them down--he didn't--

HE learned from his mistakes and I will learn from mine

I am from the school if you hide your mistakes you will not learn--you will just get better at hiding them

hopefully you guys will go from looking for my mistakes to critiquing my message in my blogs and soon to be vlogs

in this case here do you get the gist of my message? I accept my mistakes and errors but do you get what I was getting at?

It didn’t matter who the GM was. The team had their sights on Reinhardt since the 2012 draft and we’re going to get him at virtually any cost.

well--I have been here for over 20 years and I have earned my bones on this site

you may no know this but I post here on a regular basis

unlike say Larry Fischer who as of late all his posts are just about his blog and nothing else

If I just post links to my blog here--valid point

but I post all across this site on numerous topics not related to my blog--unlike certain other people here


also--I get no money from my site--it should be AD free if there are ads on my site let me know and I will take it up with wix

Also it is summer time and well--for the next few months nothing much will happen

so instead of banding on about the same things-- I thought having the wraith of this board aimed at me could be fun

Everytime someone mis-spells Reinhart as Reinhardt, I assume they play Overwatch.

edit to be more on topic - I feel like if you're going to make claims like this:

"Not only had Green not seen Reinhart play since he left the Oil Kings, no oiler scout had seen him play and filed a scouting report about him. If they had, they would have known why he was caught in the numbers game with the Islanders."

You should include some kind of source. Even if it's just "I have heard from numerous people in the industry...". Otherwise it just seems real odd.

Autocorrect did it and it’s been reported numerous times that the Oilers scouting staff were big on Reinhart. Chiarelli went into the 2015 draft with the same scouting staff, amateur and pro that Mac T had. He also had the same management team still working for the team. Chiarelli claimed to have watched Reinhart in Bridgeport and that the deal was his decision but it’s obvious it was more then just him that were in on Reinhart.

So give a link to one of them in your blog post. Otherwise, the reader's initial reaction is "yeah OK, sure Mr. Blogger".

I know the Oilers staff were huge on Reinhart - it was constructive criticism for the blog post as OP requested.

Too bad about autocorrect, that's far less fun.

Your good bad and ugly post has the wrong stats about koskinen.

He played in more hockey games that just the mid to high 20’s every year.

JTS...

Just my .02 cents but edit anything publicly viewable and keep original drafts as hard copy on your drive if you want to use them as a learning exercise.

From my experience, you'll write better copy (and improve your ability to do so).

At least spell Griffins name right

Can you blog about what it would take for us to move on from the Reinhart and or hall deals?

Chia’ moves from 2015 to 2018 set the franchise back years. Fans will talk about those moves until the team starts winning.

 

[HockeyGuy1964]

JFC, what are we here, your proof readers?

The first response points out a major factual error, even telling you what it was, & your response to that was about as amateurish as you could possibly get.
