I don't want to go all Jimmy D. "They are the cattle, we are the ranch"; however I'm not big on ultimatums, especially if they are made public. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even another one in Canada? According to his agent, he’s happy to serve a depth role for the organization — helping mentor younger players while playing fourth-line minutes. It’s also where he grew up, so it’s essentially a home for him. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Why couldn't his agent just keep his mouth shut? Call the the teams GM's and tell them, not the media? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing it’s in the media because it’s forces other GMs to not pull a dick move since it’s in the public’s eyes. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't a private phone call do the same thing? Some of those "old boys" are not going to like being pushed in public. I'd say Lou Lamoriello doesn't care what the fans think, and to a large degree what his players think either; so why risk it.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lame attempt however to make themselves an exception to the waiver rules everyone (else) is subject to. But, but we're the Leafs and Jason is special and wants to stay close to home. The dick move was waiving him in the first place - knowing this. The Leafs are who has put him in this position. If anything, I'd look at it as more incentive to claim him. Make him retire if he believes this 'threat' ("I will retire") will enable him to circumvent the process. Take one more option away from them. Every other team in the North benefits. Suck it Leafs.

I would say it’s just a tactic by the agent that translates to: “please don’t claim my player”. I think some GMs don’t care what the fans think, like you said, but I think the agent was doing the best he could for his client to stay in his hometown. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
