You used it correctly, but so many people mix up the spelling of "Resign" and "Re-sign", which mean the complete opposite.What I want to see him do, is resign.

We'll forever be behind the curve as long as our search is limited to a subset of GMs. Time for an enlightened approach: Bypass the old-boys club and find the best European GM. Imagine going from choosing among the smallest pool of candidates to accessing the largest pool of candidates. That would be real progress.The sad thing is there's really only a few good french Canadian GM candidat available and they had the perfect scenario in 2017 after Bergevin failed miserably to hire the best one in Julien Brisebois, but Molson's man crush on MB ruined everything

There was a time I felt compeled to correct people over this, but it happens so often now that I don't bother anymore.
I ignore a lot more posts than I used to.
I used to read everything, now I’m very selective.
With what money?
So at some point this summer Bergevin presumably had enough to offersheet Marner. Now it seems he is short on cash with what I understand about 4M or so left in cap space. He spent all that money on what... who... why?
Just out of curiosity, would you OS Patrick Laine, and for how much?
Just wondering why they haven't signed him yet, isn't he part of the Jet's core?no, they would match imo.

Are either Scott Mellanby or Trevor Timmins serious candidates to eventually replace Marc Bergevin?
If I was Geoff Molson and the answer was no, would want someone in place to be learning the position and all that entails, pretty much knowing the organization from top to bottom.
When Bergevin took over, he had to learn it all, the players, the organization, even the position itself.
Sam Pollock was actually hired by Frank Selke and had many years to learn the organization and the managerial side.
Stevie Y. groomed Julien Brisebois in Tampa, Kyle Dubas got to learn from one of the best in Lou in Toronto.
On the flip side, what just happened in Minnesota with Paul Fenton and some of the mistakes, especially in player evaluation.
Seems prudent to have at least one good in house future candidate for the gm position.
No way.
It's no time to shorten the asset base for a short term gain, because mid to long term, KK and that 9th pick will likely be worth much more.
Our asset base is nowhere near close enough to what is needed to make that type of move.
How much time before Kopi is over the hill? Or even to his present level?
You would be trading our future for another Price/Weber/Petry. Players that are soon to hit their twilight and will invariably be trending to cost more than what they bring as time goes on.
Sure, we will be more competitive for a short span, but in the end, without guarantee of winning and with major holes still left to fill.
But in the long term, you will set us up for another major cluster****.
Also: Salary in a static cap league for 3 years, yikes.
Offer sheet Dubois. There’s no better time to pounce than with a flat capif MB is willing to give up 2 first round picks and 10M, then he should OS Barzal.

I’m against sending offer sheet to either but why PLD over Barzal?

Push it to 9 or 9.5m. A #1 center with size would be huge for usSure, but for PLD, I’d stick to the 8.4 limit to keep it to one 1st.
I’d like to see a 1+ PPG season on the resume before going as high as 10.
