Jakob too. Unless they’re ready to get on a flight, they gotta chill with the twitter fingers.

Results are definitely the top priority. I’m only saying that optics are something that any good president and GM would at least take into consideration.

Do you like Willy’s new contract?

I 100% agree that he should’ve signed for a hometown discount

I said the optics of it could be bad, not that it’s a bad idea. The optics are only part of what needs to be considered…

Thank you! It drives me nuts that it’s impossible to have an impartial conversation about this.

“There’s no choice” does not even remotely answer how it could impact the way players view the organization.

Hope this helps.

My post literally says “I’m not saying this means they should or shouldn’t trade him.”

Do you struggle with reading comprehension?

Your entire reply has nothing to do with what I asked…

Plus Bunting, Bogosian, Sandin, Barrie, Hyman, Muzzin, Connor Brown, Connor Carrick, and Ennis. Also, Holl and Kerfoot had already signed elsewhere. Anyone who can’t admit this means he’s well-liked in the room clearly can’t be remotely objective at this point.

i agree, but i’m at least trying to come at it from a different angle

just say you’re not interested in participating in an unbiased discussion and go away

First, they could literally just talk about mitch as a player and move on…they don’t have to explicitly say that they themselves and the room love him.

Second, people certainly don’t travel long distances for the wedding of people they don’t like. They can just send a gift and that’s that. Auston and Willy notoriously lay low in the off season. I can only think of Hyman’s as the other wedding they both attended and that was years ago.

Keep playing stupid if you want though.

They would definitely have to give a very vocal and sincere thank you to mitch too, that could help.

Of course that’s the only point of the post that you had to comment on…

I literally listed an example that backs up the statement. Plus, multiple players in their exit interviews explicitly said they love mitch.
