Thread: FIRE BOWMAN
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sebybbq</b></div><div>He was the right arm of dale tallon so he deserved as much credit as tallon. But the scoutings team is the one who built this team. For bowman, he herited of a great team but after the first two cup he made some great trade and managed the cap very well to keep their core and added some very valuable piece in saad, daley, kruger stalberg, leddy, andrew shaw, oduya roscival. Yeah those last two or three year have been bad but chicago is rebuilding there defence and with all their prospect they will compete again in a mather of time. The only thing that bowman as really mess up is seabrook extension. He should have kept hajlmarson instead of seabrook. He would have cost half of seabrook and they could have trade seabrook when he still valuable. But for the rest he did pretty well</div></div>

If overpaying players to the point where he is unable to trade Seabrook so they had to give up Hjalmersson instead managing the cap well then sure, they definitely managed the cap well. I would prefer Panarin over Saad although I'll give Bowman the benefit of the doubt because no one knew how that trade would work out, Kruger was signed to an extention of 3 million to produce 17 points a season (excluding those 2 years when he produced in the 20's), and don't get me started on rozisval, he was a decent player but given too much money in Chicago. I don't know why you bothered to mention the salary cap when every summer they need to make cap dumps so they could always sign free agents This has been the first summer since we actually had a good amount of cap space. They couldn't move Seabrook or Keith because of the clauses in their contracts. I don't know who told you that Bowman did a good job managing the cap when we also had to get rid of Teravainen because Carolina needed someone else to go with Bickel. Other than Bowman, the cap has been our greatest enemy since 2010-2018. Also as mentioned before, he botched more trades than actually won them, the main reason why he still has a job is because of his dad and every now and then he makes one great trade only to botched the next trade he makes

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sebybbq</b></div><div>The only thing that is bad is that we can’t fire fan. He gave Chicago three stanley cup and there a still some moron out there who continu to complain</div></div>

He didn't contribute much to building that Cup dynasty, Dale Talon did. I'd also like to remind you that he made several great picks in the draft and traded most of them. I will admit that he has made a good amount of trades that went are favor, but their have been more trades that we lost. He has always been a man who would take 2 small steps forward and 1 giant step back and is currently the ranked 25 on the list of NHL GM's going into the season. Bowman may have been at the helm, but that was because all of the core players that won us those cups like Toews, Kane, Hossa, Sharp, Crawford, Seabrook, Keith, and Hjalmersson were already on the team. He just added a few players that were considered depth pieces and that was it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sebybbq</b></div><div>What a waste of time!</div></div>


Okay, maybe an explanation is needed here, now, the last two times (before yesterday) my baby cousin was over, and when I was building a team, my baby cousin decides she wanted to join in so I let her her do so, and it sorta became a thing I do now when she is over because of how funny the trades are because these trades would never happen in a million years. A waste of time? Depends if you enjoy it or not, to me and at least a few other users this is actually pretty funny. I know that there are some things that are said with the intent of being funny that other people just don't find amusing, but you don't see those people heckling at the comedian, so if this wasn't funny to you then it would have been nice if you kept your opinions to yourself.
