    I talked about balls… You didn’t understand that part huh? 
    If the top man in the company can’t handle the owner he isn’t qualified for the job.

    It’s very easy.

    We’re not talking about an underpaid pizza baker here. B)

    Yikes, your seem really testy (balls joke). My reading comprehension is great. I understood everything you said and disagree. No big deal, the world is filled with different opinions. I just don't think you understand how the hierarchy in a business works.

    A GM that let himself be overruled under 8 years doesn't have the balls to be a GM. 

    That feels like such a sitting on the couch opinion.

     

    Bosses overrule decisions all the time. They get to do that because they own everything. 

     

    let's pretend.....

     

    You have a job and your boss tells you what he wants you to do because it's a job and you're his employee. That's life. 

     

    It's like you're working at a pizza place and the boss says he wants to use a different mozzarella made in Abbotsford. You suggest to him "I dunno, I don't think that will be as good." The boss tells you that's what he wants and if you don't do it, he'll get someone who will. So you buy the cheese and like you thought, the cheese was greasy and not very good and you had to throw it out and it ended up in court over sexual misconduct allegations. 

     

    So you didn't get the right ingredients and the pizza just didn't work out. However,  you listened to the boss and that bought you more years of work making millions cooking unsatisfactory pizza. 

     

    Now unemployed, you sit next to your pool in your mansion pondering your decisions. You will always wonder how that pizza might have tasted had you been given free range in decision making and not had a boss looking over your shoulder. Your thoughts are interrupted by the alarm on your phone letting you know it's time for your 2pm massage. You polish off your margarita and head inside.

  3. This discussion makes it sound like PK is in front of a buffet with all sorts of on ice choices. I'm thinking he's looking for a serious offer from a decent team at this point. I'm pretty sure Vancouver could call his agent and offer him 1 - 2 million and they would consider it. 

    However...

    He would probably make more as a TV personality from this point on than he would playing.

  4. Many good opinions in this thread. Many others as well...

     

    I bet I've figured it out. This new hockey sweater is just a way to introduce a new mascot, or at least make Johnny Canuck the official mascot.

    Fin was ok. Sure enough, he had the West Coast thing down, plus the First Nations angle and was a Killer Whale... all cool... except... it was a corporate logo and that coats the whole thing in weak sauce. Fin is played out at this point. 

    They will wear the new sweaters a few times and sell a bunch of jerseys and dolls and lunchboxes and foam axes and beard and toque combo sets etc etc. It's just a way better mascot and it's new, so, cha-ching.

     

    or its fake news. lol

    Yep which is a very real possibility considering I don’t see them as the top team in the Pacific anymore so they may have to play Edmonton or even a team like Colorado first round.

    I get the feeling that Huberdeau has let it be known he plans on testing free agency. I think there's a conditional first in the deal, so I'm guessing that's to cover his exit.

     

    That's good that you can at least see them like that. When I see Calgary, I think Joel Otto kicking the puck in. lol

    Scenario

     

    Calgary becomes a bubble team.  Treliving pulls the trigger on a trade of Huberdeau and Weegar at the TDL, also trades Mangiapane after realizing he won't re-sign.  Obtains 3 additional 1st round picks and some additional assets

     

    Calgary becomes a lottery team with 4 total first round picks in this coming draft and a shot at Bedard.

     

    Calgary officially kicks off their rebuild in monster fashion.

     

    Yuck

    That's a best case worst case. lol  

     

    Worst case best case is they make the playoffs but get beat early and lose all those players to free agency.
