Quoting: GenW
?????????????????????????????
Berglund had a no trade, but paperwork error gave gm doug Armstrong a TINY window to move him, and he did, with Sobotka, a 1st, and Tage (iirc) for ory.
Berglund was so distraught he quit playing hockey. He literally just quit. There is no other 2nd/3rd line nhl center I’ve ever heard of who just quit.
This is was a bad choice by Doug Armstrong. It may have won his team the cup in Orielly earning a conn smythe, but he did the wrong thing.
Rich ppl (I’m implying owners) don’t forget this.
That being said, Berglund prob got too comfy. But still. Buf was sold bad goods.
Nobody, you, me, them, goes back to a vendor who sold them bad goods. There’s other vendors for things. We specifically do not get burned twice. We touch the fire and then stop touching it.
This is a life lesson for everybody. If you sell bad goods, you may win, but you will ultimately be burned. Doug Armstrong will eventually be fired, not because he’s bad, but because there are only 31 partners, and he set one on fire. Nobody else is blind. They do not want to be sold bad **** either.
