Yep they should hand it over to one of the other brothers.

I've thought about sharing my actual thoughts on this whole situation but there's so much rage and vitriol directed at a single player and management that there seems to be a bit of balance lacking. Like folks foaming at the mouth. Theres no common ground to be found. Its all Pettersson and management's fault. Miller is completely blameless.
What about "well you wanted 7/8 year contracts with no movement clauses for big bucks, well you got it." :Now shut up and go out and play."

I mean, who cares about this drama. They can honor the contracts they just recently signed, or maybe, I don't know, go to Paris to study mime.

These guys are just plain weird with the kind of players they covet. They've been after vthis bone rack for a while now.

And they can't stand Canadians.I don't like these guys at all.
I can’t stand it. I blame it on the Aqualini’s. They’ll never change

....the ambivalence here (you, Carl, Mëds, Meg) is mirrored elsewhere.

Our tickets are $500 a pair in a private suite with full food spread and all drinks except alcohol for free.

Current and ex players and management wander through and shoot the shit with fans once in a while.

You'll run into the odd "pseudo-celeb" up there as well.

Vij shows up once in a while for instance.

Sophie too :oops: .

The overall view of the ice is outstanding (I've sent people from here there...ask them).

I've never had trouble giving the tickets away to clients.

This year is proving a struggle.

Why not just continue to post bullshit and half truths and keep taking a machete to the place like you have since Randy Bo Bandy got fired?

Mancini is not slow. He isnt soft either. He's got a hit per game and blocked 20 shots in 15 games, getting his feet wet. Hes a kid. Hes not similar to Alberts at all.

I'm curious what plan B is.....because Hughes looked pretty banged up tonight.

EP2 is a nice prospect.

He's nowhere near ready to play 22 + min a game.

There is likely a three or four year extension on the table.
I hope there are extensions for the UFAs and lots of upside with lesser knowns or these trades are looking really shortsighted:

Filip Chytil C (Depth center with significant concussion risk)
Marcus Pettersson LHD (UFA - hopefully with a contract in place)
Drew O’Connor LW (UFA - Depth forward)
Victor Mancini RHD (B prospect)

For
JT Miller C (Top line asshole)
Melvin Fernstrom RW (B- Prospect)
Jackson Dorrington LHD (C Prospect)
Erik Branstrom LHD (Salary dump)
Danton Heinen LW (Salary dump)
Vincent Deharnais RHD (Salary dump)

Plan B is Markus Pettersson Mëds. Quinn is out long-term and MPetey is the new number 1....why else would he trade the new 1st within a few hours

Ok after yelling about the Miller return for a second, I'm starting to see a method to the madness

Miller was clearly an issue. Not the only issue but an issue that needed a timely resolution nonetheless. It had already dragged on way too long.

After reading up a bit on the big defender, he's starting to look like there may be some upside to that one. As Blobbo mentioned Rags fans are not happy to see this kid leave. He apparently impressed.

Shittle....well that one stings a bit

MPetey is a good add. He's wiry strong and makes simple, smooth exits. The D just got better especially since it means Sauce goes to the third pair where he belongs

It's Atu Raty's time to either show he can play or fade off into obscurity. Let's hope he's up for it.

We're as thin as the arm of a Pettersson down the middle now. That's not so wonderful but seeing their fight tonight can be something to build hope out of yeah?
