Rumor: Rumours and Proposals Thread: what next?

[ChaoticOrange]

If we take all this to the logically conclusion. Toews needs to take some shrapnel and our media needs to grill Keith about this. Because if he's part of that problem, the team needs to get him out of the room (I am serious)

I think that's a reasonable take.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I worked in and around the game for nearly 15 years as I said above, some of them in a leadership role. I can and did have to step in a few times, yes. Unfortunately hockey is much behind the times, and 2010 might as well have been the dark ages in a lot of ways.

I didn't forget about any of the junior initiations, no... there's an awful lot of accountability to go around.

I'm just saying it's fair to wonder what role Keith had in it, as a guy that wore a letter for the team. Was he unaware of it? Did he know it was happening and not address it? Not feel like it was his place? I feel like every potential answer raises more questions.

This is it. I'm not accusing DK of anything, but I think its in his best interests to come forward and explain what happened behind the scenes because otherwise it's going to hang over him the entire season.

So this is disturbing.

It sure is. Wrong thread tho.

Why is it on Keith specifically to do this?

The 80s/90s Oilers weren't a good look internally, yet you're a fan still.

You're doing nothing more than cherry picking this incident. Pretty obvious

Yeah, can't say I was thrilled about a perpetrator of vehicular manslaughter being our GM at one point but it is what it is.

 

[Wretched Oil]

Apparently we're interested in Risto? Hopefully he's further down the list

I’ve always liked to look at things as innocent until proven guilty (though the public perception of things is usually the opposites). Like another poster said (edit: @K1984), it’s just as reasonable to assume that he did say something about it and got shouted down. I’m going to leave it at that

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Why is it on Keith specifically to do this?

It should be on every Blackhawks player. But only one is currently playing for the Oilers.

Kahun signed like a month into free agency this past off-season. Given the opportunity he has here if we really need him I'm sure he will be available in September if he doesn't go to Europe that is.

Good point, and considering he didn't likely improve his stock this year, at best treading water, you may be right.

 

[soothsayer]

Giannis is a lot better than McDavid. It evens out

There's a debate about who the best player in the NBA is right now. There is zero debate about who the best is in the NHL. Also, Giannis is a more along the lines of a run-of-the-mill MVP, whereas McDavid is a generational talent, like LeBron.

 

[Oilhawks]

Why is all this Chicago crap here in the rumours and proposals thread?

Who knows?

 

[Del Preston]

Which ignored poster is blaming Keith for the Aldrich thing?

 

[Oilhawks]

Why is it on Keith specifically to do this?

Because he was traded here and people don’t like the trade.

It would take an awful lot of balls to shout down one of the best players on the team and arguably the best defenceman in the league. But, I suppose it's possible. Keith just seems to me like a guy that likes to leave it all out on the ice and quietly go about his business off of it.

 

[McHelpus]

So this is disturbing.

Is this the leadership that Holland wants Keith to provide? What a disgusting group of individuals.

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

My realtor friend just told me PK Subban lives in a house...Edmonton has houses.

Make of that what you will...

 

[Broberg Speed]

Thread ban anyone talking about the Chicago stuff already.

 

[Oilhawks]

Which ignored poster is blaming Keith for the Aldrich thing?

 

[Oilers in NS]

Anyone interested in Brenden Dillon from Washington. Sounds like Washington would like to shed some salary and he is on the block.
6’4” 225 30 years
3.2 3 more years

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Which ignored poster is blaming Keith for the Aldrich thing?

 

[soothsayer]

Sounds like the Sharks are going to buy out Martin Jones. Maybe San Jose is a possible landing spot for an overpaid stopgap in net . .

shush now, the mob has decreed that we are not to speak of such things, or even to speculate or gently question. Who are we, as mere mortals posting on a hockey board, to post about hockey related things on said hockey board?

I don't believe you.

Show your work.

Only positive thoughts. Our future sure is bright.

Oh, it's that miserable sack of shit. What a shock.
