Yost isn't negative for the sake of being negative.
He just connected some dots. I get that fans would rather be oblivious to anything that could have a negative effect their team.
There was absolutely nothing said about Zibanejad having a poor camp, or that he was in danger of losing his job until after he was sent down.
His performance was not the sole factor in the decision. Contracts always play a role. It's a reality of pro sports.
Naturally the Murray lovers jumped on that train. Maybe some AHL time will do him some good, but if Da Costa doesn't have a strong camp, it doesn't happen.
I don't understand this fan base. You have actual facts (public record) screaming in your face. You have the owner and GM contradicting each other, the owner contradicting himself, the Captain and 17 year Senator walks, and all you can say is that there is no money problem, and the personnel decisions were right.
A marketing manager's wet dream. Assume the position, get spanked and say "thank you sir, may I have another"
I would also like to know the multiple known reasons that Travis Yost would have to piss off an egomaniacal multi millionaire that doesn't like his authority challenged.
He sure stands to gain a lot by doing that.
I agree with all of this.
You can't completely dismiss Yost's stuff like many here are doing. I don't necessarily believe it's that bad, but at the same time I'm not going to pretend like everything is fine either.
There is clearly something up.
