Come on, you can do better. Those are not nearly damaging enough to the health and future of the franchise.

Literally giving away little of anything but overhyped prospects like Sillinger and Boqvist, both, were dreadful last season. Pinto over Sillinger isnt even close. Boqvist has no room on the roster and is a trainwreck defensively.

Start with Fantilli and Jiricek.

Gotta move Jenner if anyone. He hitched his car to Babcock.


He said nothing offensive and didnt want to rock the boat. Nothing more. Thinking Boone went out on a limp is exactly the opposite of what occurred.

I'm gonna say the franchise shafted him. Made him put his name on the line to protect Babcock because who doesn't love Jenner?

All joking aside, I will bet that Babcock told Jenner to issue a statement or risk losing his captaincy.

I'm okay with that take for Boqvist. I'm less inclined to put Sillinger in that discussion. He went from USHL to 30pt rookie season. If I recall, correctly he was one of youngest rookies ever. Last year, nothing in Ohio went well so I'd expect him to be okay and bounce back. He's still 20 heading into his 3rd pro season (that's crazy).

Lmao... your edit to say start with Jiricek or Fantilli is absolutely hilarious. But I suppose if Andy Dick needed new material, that might get some drunk laughs.

Kotkaniemi had more pts than that 30 point rookie season from Cole as a 18 year old with little playing time. Sillinger regressed badly to only score 11 points and 3 goals in 64 games last season.

That is kind of the point. He is supposed to represent his players, but this was clearly siding with management. So not sure how loved he is in that locker room.

Ya, I could see it go that way. Though idk the dynamic there beyond he's a respected guy and popular with the fans.

Nah that's not at all what Benning does. He signs 4th liners to major term and signs has beens for their biggest contracts ever.

Upgrade Elvis to start, find your way out from under that term, even if it’s a rental, tarasov with an enter name here ufa next off-season better than 20 million of Elvis. Uncertainties of new coach time to scoop Chevy and bring a contract year helly to town, get rid of the extra unneeded dman and talk him into Elvis 4x deal. Probably something shiny, but give that franchise a boost after this debacle.

I'd say that's a bit much...

Tbh it's possible that's actually how it went with Jenner. They might've just been showing each other pictures of there families. But definitely that wasn't the case with the younger players.

That is how I first interpreted it. Seemed odd, but harmless. But his teammates clearly thought otherwise. I didn’t expect it to get this far…so maybe more to it.
