I just wonder who pressured Lou to give that contract?

That's a quote from the GM? Jezzz.

Who cares? He is entitled to have his own opinion and beliefs. If anything, I respect him even more because he stayed true to himself. He was respectful about it. The flyers didn't seem to have a big issue with it either. It's a non story.

Is there anywhere I can watch or listen to the conference? I know it's over now but I can't seem to find any links to watch the recorded conference.

I'm ok with this. Can't wait to see who the gm is going to be.

Wow! Chi gets a new coach and good 5-1! It's amazing what a coaching change can do!

So why is this on JB? This is on green and coaching staff. On paper we have a decent team. Multiple times I heard American play by play guys praising the Canucks roster and not understanding what's going on with them.

Green needs to go. I am so tired of watching the same game against every team. It is like the groundhog day. What coaches are available right now?

Green is a brutal coach. He constantly gets out coached.

Yes, thank you. I am fully aware on how team sports work. Tampa Bay didn't need any goons like Reaves and Tinordi to win the Stanley cup. You talk about freedom for players to play when those two are on the bench? Vegas barely played Reaves in the playoffs when it counted. Those are not 2 way players that contribute. I agree that you need responsible players and different types of players to build a team but no way in hell I pick those 2 over Kravtsov. Again, if Kravtsov was waiver eligible he would of made the team! Plain and simple.

Juolevi 100 precent should of been on the team and was treated unfairly. You want to tell me that reaves and Tinordi are better than him? The only reason they are even on the team is because they are so terrified of Wilson.

How do you know that he didn't earn it? Based on rangers fans responses he actually had a decent camp. There are players that made the team who showed way less. He most likely didn't make the roster because he is waiver exempt.

The rangers are so scared of Wilson that they wasted two roster spots on two goons instead of Kravtsov. Again, if you don't agree with your employer's decision based on your career aspirations you go and look for a new job. It's no different with hockey.

Why wouldn't they? They come to another country to play at the highest level. Why would they report to an AHL team if they can play in the KHL making more money and playing in their home country? The fact that he is seeking a trade means he is determined to play in the NHL. I think a team should trade for him to give him a fair chance. It's a low risk move.

I wonder why it takes so long to publish the return.
