The Out of Town Thread CVIII - Free Agency Edition

[Captain Mountain]

He was pretty lousy last year.

 

[Hackett]

I feel like drugs are common enough that it won't affect the team at all. A lot of people use recreational drugs, including athletes.

Exactly.... And do we know if he is even addicted? If he is, then he needs to get help. If not, then its a non issue as far as the team is concerned, as long as he is professional when he needs to be.

That kane thread on the mainboards is a doozy.

 

[Richiebottles]

I thought it was Hamburgh Germany

Oh my...

 

[Bloumeister]

Surprised no one has posted this nugget yet

I watched it earlier. It was hilarious. Side note Setoguchi's wife is really pretty. Lucky guy.

I mock the Habs obsession with character, but while I think Montreal goes too far in trying to crush anyone with a personality, it's nice not having to root for Patrick Kane.

Kane is already one of the greatest American born players of all time, but even before this allegation, we all knew he was a dirtbag at best. Shame to see someone so skilled could be so unlikable, even if he is not guilty in this one case. But the more I hear about this case...

I'm quite surprised that there hasn't even been a generic and evasive public statement from Kane's side.

And the girl went straight for a criminal investigation (instead of waiting and going for a civil lawsuit).

If he did it and is promptly punished, a pretty sick event could at least yield some positives. With all the #RapedNeverReported thing going on, could create some momentum.

And yes, regardless of the outcome on that one, the US education system badly needs a better Sex Ed curriculum.

Hopefully Lemaire tells the Leafs to **** off.

Same. I really hope he doesn't join them.

 

[Rapala]

NFL NBA NHL needs to shed it's "thug" image.

Alleged Wife beaters, narcotics possession, cross border drug smuggling and rape claims.

and that was just Probert.

Did they forget to colour in the maple leafs?

I like Kane specifically when he wears his playoff beard.
His likeness to Cornelius of the original "Planet of the Apes" is uncanny.

With the Leafs just throwing huge sums of money at people I hope so. I swear they will be the reason if there is ever a Salary Cap for staff.

It's not much different than most walks of life, rich people get a lot more slack because they are famous and can afford expensive lawyers.

Boy, are they assembling one of the craziest off ice staff's ever...there is one pile of people going to give Shanny their advice over there.....insane...

Too many chef's in the kitchen??

 

[LaP]

Did they forget to colour in the maple leafs?

Nah they washed it using Javex to remove all the dirt

More importantly too many outdated and out of touch chiefs.

Lemaire and Lou have not been great for the Devils lately don't see why they should do any better in Toronto.

Oh snap.

The Leafs logo switches from dark blue to white depending upon which colour jersey they are wearing.

Home dark uniform uses the white logo while away uses the dark blue logo. Reason: white on white or blue on blue wouldn't work.

You guys should start reading some of that stuff, they are only temporary "transition" people. Lamoriello is there for his organizational skills, setting up the structure, some of which he copied from Vince Lombardi ... not for choosing or day to day running of players. Just a mentor for Kyle Dubas.

Instead of just laughing at them like a blind man at the foe, I am reading to see what they are doing and they are building some hell of an organization.

If they are there for transition and build the structure it's fine but anything over 3 years will be too much imo. Even 3 years is stretching it.
