While there are some awful GMs out there that I'm baffled as to how they remain employed, the attitude of "even though I've only seen the stuff that makes the news, have zero connection to the reality of the situation and like to feel smarter than people who do this for a living I could totally do better" leads to Trump tweeting his way to the Presidency.

You play with a lot of people with absolutely lovely attitudes and personalities in small-town dek hockey leagues, I can't imagine what it's like when it's a bunch of young people who have always felt better that everyone on the teams around them suddenly trying to grow up in the NHL around everyone being better than them. managing large organizations has nothing to do with people skills, all you need are charts with circles of varying sizes

SensChirp: The (2017-2018) Ottawa Senators are Stanley Cup Contendersquote:Plus a healthy Clarke MacArthur. A rejuvenated Bobby Ryan. Mark Stone back at 100%. A supporting cast that includes a now playoff-tested core of Mike Hoffman, Kyle Turris, Jean Gabriel Pageau, Derick Brassard, Freddy Claesson, Cody Ceci, Ryan Dzingel and Zack Smith. Their organizational “depth” will now include two of the organization’s seemingly NHL-ready prospects in Thomas Chabot and Colin White. Sprinkle in a handful of veterans hungry for another chance at playoff success and one of the best players on the planet in Erik Karlsson (now on TWO legs) and you have the makings of a roster that should be in the mix again this Spring.

I would be a better GM than Ken Holland because I know which columns aren't fancy stats, or at least I think that's why he only drafts guys over 6' tall and gives every guy from Michigan an eight-year contract with full NMC.

I'm not really sold on Maurice but Chevy at least has put together a good scouting/whatever team because Scheifele/Trouba/Morrissey/Ehlers/Connor is a crazy good run at the draft (and I think Hellebuyck will end up being pretty good). Trading the 13th to keep Enstrom was a little sketchy but their D does look pretty deep with him in it and their top 6 is going to be excellent: Ehlers/Scheifele/Laine/Connor/Little/Wheeler. If Perreault can hold together the 3rd line I think they have a very good chance at making noise this year (as long as Mason/Hellebuyck isn't a train wreck I guess).

NHL is in a weird spot because there's already the precedent of goalie masks and I guarantee if they clamped down on players running with custom colored skates it would start a shitstorm. So I figure as long as players keep it subtle and avoid conflicting with any advertisers the NHL has deals with they'll be fine.

Remember when the NHL was going to stop allowing players to tuck their jerseys and edit: Semin got a penalty in the pre-season for it and then basically nobody ever said anything about it again.

They traded down to 24 from 13, it's not like they gave the pick straight up to Vegas. I don't get all the hand wringing about these signings, it's not like Maurice won't be fired if the team gets off to a terrible start again.
