Now, I love Andrew MacDonald, he's a great underrated defenseman. But Philly, pls. WTF?

6 years 30 Mil? Why do the Flyers love trading for our D-Mena nd then paying them a king's ransom?

MacDonald has to be the most "posterized" player of the season. Nearly every amazing goal has him as the d-man getting beat lol. Way too much money.

This is just dumb. Melnyk is single handedly ruining the team. It's like he fucking snapped over the past few seasons.

hahaha this organization is soooo fucked under this owner and will never get anywhere with this ukranian douche.

Basically calls other teams idiots for spending money on players, yeah those idiots playing playoff hockey right Melnyk?
Says we have to be smarter with our money, yeah smart like that Greening and Philips contract right Melnyk
Says we spend most of our money on development and scouting, we have the smallest management staff and scouts in the league, Phoenix has more than us.
He participated in the exit interviews for some reason
Blames the leadership this season and maturity.
So in 2 years we lost Alfie and Spezza, but kept Philips and Neil, fucking kill me now.

Fuck this team, GO RAPS!

On the "idiots" who spend to cap - of the eight teams that spent less than $60 million on player salaries (incl. OTT), one made the playoffs
Click to expand...

#Sens have added longtime scout Don Boyd to their staff to replace the void left by AGM Pierre Dorion's promotion.

He's the former AGM and director of amateur scouting for CBJ under Doug Maclean and Scott Howson. He's also profiled in Gare Joyce's great book Future Greats and Heartbreaks.

We are even going cheap in acquiring scouts, just fucking move the team, its already not located in the city, what would be the difference.

I don't buy the smallest hockey ops thing.

I'm just going to sit and back and watch what happens this summer. I'm glad that MacLean is staying and Captain Putz is most likely gone.

30 year old Johnathan got 6/25.5 from Detroit. I would have preferred 4/18 or 5/24 for MacDonald, but I'm glad he's staying.

A lot of people said Streit got too much money, but he just scored 44 points at +3 and was by far the team's best offensive dman at even strength.

Mike Maniscalco ‏@mikemaniscalco · 59m
Staal never sees himself in another uniform. But did say he wants to make the post-season and that these end of season interviews are old.

Mike Maniscalco ‏@mikemaniscalco · 50m
The always honest Patrick Dwyer. The #Canes just weren't good enough at home and that was unacceptable.

Mike Maniscalco ‏@mikemaniscalco · 48m
Jiri Tlusty said that putting the pressure to duplicate last season weighed on him, especially when he got off to the slow start. #Canes

Yikes. Seems cruel to send this guy out there if they haven't made a decision on him.

If you can him, he's off the hook and doesn't have to answer for anything. As the current coach he has a responsibility to do this presser and answer wtf happened. Can't sweep it under the rug, make him answer the questions, then can his ass.

He's not a politician. He doesn't really owe anybody answers.

I like how he's lamenting the loss of Clarkson and Bolland
How many other teams believe their problems laid in losing a couple of 3rd liners?

Sure he does, people paid good money to watch the product on the ice and he has a big influence on that product.

That doesn't make you a maple leafs stakeholder. They're not wasting your money, they're wasting their money.

Maybe these public shaming sessions are the reason we can't seems to attract top end talent. :/

Sounded like he was throwing Gardiner under the bus there talking about a young offensive defenseman who early on didn't think he had a long leash but later found out he had. Gardiner picked up his game later in the season so he has to be talking about him. Carlyle also said he was shocked who he compared himself to in the league.
