GDT: Peter Chiarelli Media Availability

[McAsuno]

Oh great, he expects a 'motivated' Lucic back for next season.

 

[redgrant]

Are any of these gutless reporters asking about Hall and Barzal?

 

[PaPaDee]

he doesn't want to comment on "negotiations"... is that what you call writing a blank check PC?

 

[McAsuno]

Typical Chiarelli being full outta nothing.

 

[McAsuno]

Are any of these gutless reporters asking about Hall and Barzal?

Hall, yep. 'Happy for him to win the hart and make the playoffs.' Obviously screaming internally knowing he lost a brutal trade.

 

[PaPaDee]

and it's done...

 

[Soundwave]

LOL at that blank, sad stare on his face after congratulating Hall for winning the Hart.

 

[justafan22]

NHL isn't a charity league, Pete.

 

[Del Preston]

I don't think he appreciated the Hall question.

 

[PaPaDee]

NHL isn't a charity league, Pete.

Him being a former player's agent often rears its head while he's trying to perform GM duties.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

and it's done...

Yes, this is what I've been saying, just wait for it to happen.

 

[Gord]

didn't watch.
did anyone ask him about how it feels to have traded a Hart winner for pennies on the dollar?

don't remember him being a hart winner two years ago.
you could say Hall would never have won it if he was not traded. he needed the trade to help make him realize he had to grow up.

as for lucic. disappointed he wants out. I really think he'll have a bounce back year.
do you guys think it is likely the fact the spouse hates it here?

 

[Soundwave]

I don't think he appreciated the Hall question.

f*** him if he doesn't want to be asked that, he is lucky he is not in the Montreal or Toronto markets because he would be grilled hotter than a BBQ hamburger on this point by their media.

 

[dem]

Well that didn't inspire any confidence..

looked like a dead man walking

 

[McAsuno]

I don't think he appreciated the Hall question.

Yeah well, the smart portion of the fanbase don't appreciate the trade.

 

[Soundwave]

Lucic wanting out confirmed is great. Not so great for Chia I guess, but get that bum out of here.

 

[redgrant]

I don't think he appreciated the Hall question.

Missed it can you elaborate?

 

[ChaoticOrange]

I don't think he appreciated the Hall question.

Or the Nurse question, or the asking about specific targets question, or the ‘did Lucic ask for a trade’ question. He seemed especially prickly. And quite well tanned as well. He’s been getting his sun...

 

[oXo Cube]

Have to think Milan is as good as gone after that.

Not sure what that move is going to look like but it's a scary thought.

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

Name one person who looks good in a goatee.

 

[McAsuno]

Lucic wanting out confirmed is great. Not so great for Chia I guess, but get that bum out of here.

Meanwhile Hall endured nothing but losing here, and still never asked for a trade. Character though, right? Lucic and Chiarelli can both f*** off.

 

[PaPaDee]

Lucic wanting out confirmed is great. Not so great for Chia I guess, but get that bum out of here.

Not sure how that's great... now we'll end up retaining a huge amount with trading him, amounting to more dead cap space. Pretty soon we'll be able to sign a pretty decent player with all of that dead cap space accruing.

 

[VainGretzky]

Can't stand this idiot reduces are cap space even more next 2 years , when Gryba's contract has no effect on cap for one more season . Worst GM in league ainec

 

[Jet Walters]

Staufffer must be having a hell of a hard time deciding which way he's going to spin this at noon.

 

[Drivesaitl]

he doesn't want to comment on "negotiations"... is that what you call writing a blank check PC?

Did he diss Matheson there. Sounded like he muttered something like "jesus Matheson I'm not going to talk contract negotiation" Reply was sarcastic. I get that Matheson shouldn't ask but offputting to see Chia direct frustration at others. One would think he's at least humble. but not that either I guess.

If this was the Premiership they would have drilled Chia a new ahole asking if he watched the MVP awards. I only watched half, guess that wasn't there.

Not even a sarcastic "Taylor Hall says hi"

Small things would make me happy.
