Honestly, I do not find any sentences in your post that are true. As reported, Cole's agent was given permission to contact other teams about a trade and potential extension. So there goes line one.
I don't think Sullivan is embarrassed about benching him. That's absurd. This isn't high school classrooms and facebook.
Fire who? Sullivan? There are two people competing for "most secure" in the organization outside of Mario Lemieux. It's Crosby and Sullivan. Again, what an odd and absurd thing to say.
Where are these "player assessments"? Dumo and Maatta were signed as young RFAs to longer contracts. Cole would be a late 20's UFA. On the open market, yeah he could probably find a team to give him $4.25-4.5mil. I don't think anyone doubts that but we will all have our own opinion of the validity of that contract if it comes to fruition. So...not even sure what to make of that statement.
"His player valuation ( based on salary ) exceeds Kris Letang's." What? Please elaborate on this as I am totally lost.
So...a team looking to make the playoffs needs a tried and true vet like Cole. Shocking.
Fans have zero impact on roster management. Zero. Maybe even less than zero.
Cole was indeed valuable for us in both runs...there I will 100% agree with you on that. The other 99% of your post...
I feel like he thinks you were making up your own assessment as to why Cole has not been traded yet. I think you were posting and quoting an article from Madden though correct?
