I heard more than once that he got into it when he was in Buffalo. Cannot confirm or deny but the story definitely existed
Holy fuck, Chuck Fletcher absolutely blows ass. He’s gonna move Ghost for peanuts. This is awful but expected from the Flyers. Perennial losers.
he hasn’t been good in like two seasons he was only good with vlasic aka defense god wow Doug Wilson the goat
That second point is why I want Subban traded this offseason. They’ll leave him exposed next year, so might as well get something for him now.
The Sharks gain draft picks & cap relief when they had no leverage. Christ, teams are dumb. That is a peak Waddell-era Thrashers trade if I've ever seen one.
6-6.5 is right in the range of what I've seen his wheelhouse to be in. I don't love the term but I think that's just the going rate.
He got a pass for awhile because he was so patient and tried to build from within forever. It worked to a point because they were an elite team last year but their window was so narrow because they didn't do anything in years where they should have been competing. The Trouba mess is a good example. He wasn't happy there, but they kept kicking the long-term solution down the road until they basically had to trade him. Their hands were tied but they got one playoff run out of a core of him, Scheifele, Ehlers, Wheeler, etc and it's a damn shame. They weren't even trying to make the playoffs when Wheeler was in his prime. It's not surprising that he's more willing to keep players like Tanev, Chiarot and Myers around now that he has to pay guys.
