Thread: If I was GM since Hextall took over
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MeetYourMakar</b></div><div>Hextall offered ERod a 3x3. His agent told him to turn it down as there were going to be better offers. Those never came and the Pens spent that money elsewhere.
Edit: I do believe</div></div>

Where did you hear that from? I recently heard from one of those ig accounts that post news/rumours (that cite trustworthy sources) that Hextall never offered him a contract. I also know E-Rod had interest in staying because that was rumoured at the time and he’s since confirmed it. Another thing i’ll add is that some guy tweeted about how Hextall needed to be held accountable for his bad decisions and E-Rod liked the tweet (likely indicating he was not happy with not being offered an extension to stay in PIT). I’m sure he would’ve stayed in PIT for the same price COL gave him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>js64js64</b></div><div>1 they would have taken Tanev still not Carter. 2 of all the GM can't "scratch Dumillon" that is the coaches decision, and scratching him would piss guys off too. Don't get me wrong I still would if I was Sully but don't expect him to still be a "glue guy"

Other than that I like it</div></div>

1) that’s exactly my point. Why trade McCann so “we don’t lose him for nothing in the expansion draft”… just to lose Tanev for nothing anyway. We couldve just protected McCann over Carter and only lost Tanev for nothing. Now for Carter going to Seattle that’s supposed to represent him going to free agency cause i never would have extended him in the first place. 2) I see your point. I was trying to look at this from a realistic team perspective rather than just a pure business side. But if the team would still be upset then I would just trade him. At some point the players need to be held accountable and realize it’s a business. Its not worth keeping a $4M 3LD cause he’s a glue guy. Someone else fill that role.
