Wonder which players will krak their roster

 

[DarkHorse2]

Obligatory.

 

[Telos]

Damn. Gary Roberts would suck for the rest of the NHL if he has exclusivity. I feel like he trains most of the entire NHL's top prospects.

You would have to imagine that Seattle is offering him a huge compensation package.

 

[Pens x]

Landing Roberts is huge. Good for them.

 

[SomeDude]

Roberts has worked for different teams on and off over the years. I'd imagine he'll still run his camp in the offseason, otherwise they'd have to be paying him a truck load.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Is Gary Roberts' training camp the NHL equivalent of DDP Yoga?

Wonder which players will krak their roster

 

[HabsQC]

Come on man, just trying to krak a joke here

 

[Rabid Ranger]

They hired a white guy? Surprised.

 

[Leafs87]

Are they accepting applications?

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Gary Roberts' facility in Ontario was for sale a little while back, I guess we now know why.

 

[Unspecified]

Well at least you know they will be in shape so this counts out any Kessel or Buff signings.

 

[SotasicA]

Sneaky signing. I think a lot of players train with Gary in the off-season.

Now that he is in Seattle's payroll, they can just tell him to not help the competition train. Especially next summer. Even before the Kraken have a roster they can hurt the pther 31 teams.

It depends on what his contract is like.

They hired a white guy? Surprised.

Yeah, not to blow a dog whistle here but...wasn't Seattle pumping its own tires about diversity hires in the workplace recently? Save for the video analyst, all those hires look pretty white and middle aged to me.

Says consultant, so I imagine its not full time / he can probably still train other guys?

Crazy, right? Expertise and a proven record of success should never influence hiring.

Yeah this ain’t it
