One of those teams I literally despise for no reason. Hopefully he does a really good job there and gets a promotion with another organization! You can like people within the organization without liking the organization grin

I've gotta think they're trying to move Dobby (either trading him or waiving him and sending him down) before they sign Robo. It's the only reason this makes any damn sense.

Lou started off the 20-21 offseason by agreeing to deals with Palmieri (5 mill x 4) Cizikas (2.5 mill x 6) and then 5 days before pelech’s arbitration hearing Lou told him 5.75 mill is all we have left for you and Pelech signed it . True story

There should be an age restriction for NHL GMs. At 60 you're forced to retire from the job.

I would to but Jim Nill seems to have other ideas

I think hes misleading the media with oh things are going well when in reality hes lowballing JR and either not giving a proper bridge or long term deal

Anyways lets wait and see

Do you really look at guys like Kyle Dubas and go “yeah I wish my GM was like that”
