They have 3 goalies that have played in the system, and 2 they just signed that haven't proven anything. Get rid of Gus and you have 2, one of which is about 40 y/o and coming off a pretty bad season and the other is too young (IMO) to be thrown into the system to sink or swim. They could really screw things up by trading Gus. It would have to be a haul if they trade him, and BG is best known for his quotes; first fair offer to come along...Rather than pit teams against each other to maximize deals and waiting it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They teach you not to say s$%& like this out loud on Day #1 of pro sports GM school. Did Guerin skip day #1 or does he just not have the soft skills (insight, subtlety, nuance, patience, etc) for the job. Did he peak as a minor league GM where he could berate the staff and bluster without microphones or anyone paying attention. #dontbedumbbill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was brutal in the EDM series. Slow as ever, getting matchups against fast lines that took advantage. In addition, the Refs didn't skip calling penalties against him. Two of his cheap-shot minors led to quick goals by the Oilers PP. One in particular was a shot to the back against McDavid while he was down. Of course the refs saw it, and called it.(roughing) It gave EDM the momentum when they scored immediately.(Less than 20secs into the PP, McDavid setup.) Then in the final game of the series. EDM scores on their first powerplay early in the game. Towards the end of the 1st, Suter takes a slashing penalty, and EDM scores again on the PP for a 2-0 lead. They won that game with just 10 shots on goal. Suter got only 6mins of TOI after having 12mins in the previous game. He basically played his same slow, clutch & grab, hack & chop hockey the referees allowed against Kaprizov but against #97 NHL golden-boy, no way. It didn't take DeBoer long to bench him. The Wild on the other hand make sure NoJo faces zero consequence for lazy, blowbag'n and dumbarse decisions. I'd be the most vocal hater against Suter again but I enjoy seeing Dallas pay the toll like we did in MN. Funny how he becomes the most unliked player wherever he goes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
