Unlike you, when I post assumptions I’ll say it as one.. not try and mask it as a fact to push a narrative.
Remember how much you tried to expose me for saying “I think Miller and Boeser have some issues”?
Do you have any insider information you’d like to share that Benning wanted to do a rebuild in 2014 but Aquilini said no and tried to be competitive? Proof? Facts?
I think you may have me mistaken but as far as proof of rebuild or not?
Well on the Youtube Vancouver behind the scenes video in 2014 or 2015, they wrote it on the big white board, that doesn't sound like the owner had any influence.
Also Linden's statement that they would not do a rebuild because it would be unfair to the Sedins, again more double talk.
I also believe there was a statement included in the Sedin's no rebuild about them, Linden and Benning, knowing the team needed a rebuild from the day they were hired because the players, core, was getting old.
As far as Miller having issues?
Well, he signs for less money to stay in Tampa.
His family are set up there.
Out of the blue he is traded as far away as possible and still be in the NHL.
He gets hit with an additional mil in taxes.
He has maintain additional expenses.
He did a favour for Tampa and got shafted.
Then comes Covid
He is isolated and cannot see his family.
Florida has one of the highest infection rates and he is 3000+ miles away.
Then he has to isolate again for two weeks.
As far as Boeser, his Dad is also in the high danger group for Covid
He has had a broken back
Twice operated wrist
Been a subject of trade rumors for two years.
The best humans would be disturbed
All this is in the public domain but really I think you are referring to someone else or are an astro surfer, usually a paid influencer that would demand "proof" knowing that these subjects are buried behind 100's if not 1000's of internet pages if someone doesn't know almost exactly what to look for.
If, IF, lets say I worked in the dressing room, how long would I keep my job just to satisfy a petty demand for proof
This entire forum is essentially fantasy stuff, to take any of too seriously indicates there could be a real problem. I mean, who cares who I am except me. It is only my personal honor that forces me to try to be as accurate as I can be and my experiences that help me form my opinions.
Just fyi, decades in hockey, at all levels except i have never been a NHL GM.
Please continue though if want, I cannot do anything about it.
