"It's not that people don't want to play in Cbus, players don't want to play in Cbus for this mgmt group."
I guess frank Seravilli said this. Twitter said he did.
I wonder if he’s referring to jarmo, to the coaching, to the ownership, or what combo of that.
I’ve always thought jarmo was legit.
And decided to revisit his trade history here, for funsies.

There are sooo many big deals I forgot about. So many deals…I feel this is too many deals maybe? This seems like a lot when I go look at other gms. There’s the current stuff and it keeps going Duschene, Saad, Panarin, Seth jones it just never ends. The dude needs to have a chill season every once in awhile.
It might be that the management is more focused on the business than the culture aspects.
When players feel like assets and decisions are focused on maximizing value, your culture is bound to suffer.
Players will be more focused on what's best for them than buying into the team.
JK has never signed an 8 year contract for a player.
Jenner and Merzlikins are the only current players that were drafted by Columbus and given a contract once they reached UFA status.
Players are frequently disgruntled and shipped out for a variety of reasons.
Some players may want to stay or can at least be convinced, but they are traded before the team loses control.
It doesn't help that the team has had limited success, but good asset management and success are normally different paths.
