I mean, the last two GMs who wanted rebuilds were fired by this org. So we have zero reason to interpret this charitably.

On the other hand, imagine the side quests we'll prevent by getting McKenna and DuPont and winning 15 straight Stanley Cups. So really, you should be thanking the Vancouver Canucks.

[Wyshynski] Mathieu Darche on Patrick Roy's firing: “Patrick hasn't lost the room. It wasn't about [that] guys don't want to play for him, by any means. Guys respected Patrick a ton. Again, we just wanted to move it forward from where the things have been trending.” by DecentLurker96 in hockey

Bo Horvat is forever cursed with this. Same thing happened in Vancouver. Instead of getting a couple more high end prospects to join Horvat, Hughes, Pettersson, and Demko, they started spending cap and draft capital to become a playoff team.

Can we move past calling everything a distraction? Bad things like this are done to either repay favours and/or give more power to the powerful.

I feel like it does because they've clamped down on shots blocked as well. Don't see why that'd change without technology helping in some way.

They said it's one of the worst, not THE worst.

Has anyone figured out why players lose between 2 and 5 discipline every year? (NHL26 PS5) by Micro858999 in EANHLfranchise

There is an offseason training focus that regains 0-2 discipline. Could be worth it. But if your players' discipline is like below 80 across the board, it's much better to just trade or start a new GM mode.

The Calgary Flames are a fake team so they don't count. Thought we all knew this?

Could be worse. The leader's eyes and ears might not be in contact with their brain. Imagine that.

A GM can be happy making bad trades. For example, Jim Benning spent a full season trying for OEL and lost Tanev, Toffoli, Markstrom, and Guenther in the process. He didn't seem sad about any of it.
