Seriously, you should stop this line. It’s just clutter and serves zero purpose.
Obviously, and I mean obviously, EM doesn’t want to pay 3million to a guy who isn’t going to play. We DID need to trade him, because EM likely insisted.
This deal is a great compromise to get a bit better of a pick in order to get rid of a player that the boss man didn’t want to pay to not play this year. PD also ended up saving his boss a little bit more money in the process, so maybe a hug and high five from EM?
Haven’t you all exhausted trying to pretend that we’re fans of a team that doesn’t have serious financial constraints? If we had a different owner, sure we wouldn’t have had to trade Condon, though burying him in the ECHL, or just telling him to stay home, is a super dick move for a franchise that needs to be known to treat its players like gold, but we have this owner, and so PD DID have to find a way to get rid of Condon’s salary.
EM is either saving his millions here and there for fyous, trying see if he can turn a profit, or making the team look attractive to a buyer. Who knows, we’ll find out soon enough.
In the end, continuing to look at the team from an indignant perspective as though it was a regularly run team making mistakes, is a waste of everyone’s time.
See it for what it is, and evaluate accordingly.
