Who on this MB keeps spreading the rumors about BM having said he is stepping down after this season? I have never seen anything backing this claim up??? One can only wish!

Last season 9th worst goals against in the league. if last night is any indication of what this season is about, why not trade all the veterans for talented youth. Might as well get real about the 800 lb gorilla in the room. #NoExcuses #NoRegrets #ShowSomeFrickentPride #Embarrassment

I have no desire to be on any of those platforms. I'm not on Instagram or Snapchat or Tik Tok and I visit Facebook about once a week. I enjoy intelligent discussion, which is why I come here. I have found that most of those places don't have much constructive discourse.
I agree I am not on any of them either

Is it possible that Bargain Basement Bob is pulling a Lou Lamorello? Not announcing any deals already made until just before training camp? If he is, we might already "own" Eichel and not know it yet.
Bungling Bob is not that smart....Look up delusional in the dictionary and you'll find Bobs picture

I have seen several mentions. Allegedly, the Vegas owners high pressure to make a final key move on their GM
-
If this turns out to be true, it is another gross miscalculation by Bob Murray We sat the entire free agent off season out, hoping to get Eichel, but we just dont / not willing to move the quality parts to make the deal. That has been pretty obvious for sometime. I seriously doubt Eichel is coming to Anaheim.
Side note, Buffalos delay in trading Eichel is solely a vindictive and punitive move against the player delaying his surgery and not allowing him to play at the start of the season.
The Players union should file a grievance against the team on Eichel's behalf. Total gutless move by Buffalos GM.
"the Vegas Golden Knights and Eichel are now separated by only one piece that Vegas is hesitating on. As of a few days ago, there were believed to be two missing pieces,
but one of those the Knights are ok with losing now…and this last piece is all that stands in the way."

Those are some great contracts. Credit where credit is due. Good job BM.
Bob doesnt do contracts the new guy (former Kings) handles contracts if I read his introduction correctly.
Also once Kesler is moved to LTIR we should have $16,066,084 Cap Space Available.

But I’ll take Steel at that contract all day. He hasn’t taken that step yet, but I still think he is worth more than that contract. I see him as another Marchant. He is good at the dot and fast. If he can focus his defensive game, I think he will be a good PK contributor and decent in a third line role. If not move to the wing and be more like Cogs. Cogs and Marchant were very similar IMO too. I don’t think Steel has enough skill to combat his lack of size, which is hurting his performance at the NHL level. He will be a 10-15 goal guy.
A centerman that only scores 10-15 goals is a 3rd / 4th line guy and Sam Steel does not have the size or grit to execute that position. So what then? Minors or trade. He hasn't show the skill or strength of a Nick Bonino of years past.

Steel expecially needs to step it up bigtime or he is a washout imo. Excited to see what Lundestrom will do with improved opportunity.

Define “proper ending” and what the chances are of obtaining this ending this year … or next… or next
Kinda like "Happy Ending" just more proper

stop saying this. it's ridiculously untrue. he's already announced he's stepping down by the end of his contract this coming summer. his sole purpose, to his thinking, is to do his best to set the team and his successor up for future, non-BM managed success.
Really show me that quote....

Only if they take some salary back - Cam Fowler or Gibson.
Bob is trying to save his JOB
-
In the weird covid season and considering the value he has for the young players its a real fair deal. 17 points in an anomaly
-
And or Bonino as a 4th liner
-
Thats a really good hometown discount. TY RG
-
no term or $ yet but announced the signing so good news

Because it would mean he was found civilly liable for that which he was accused. They don't give money simply for asking for it, there is still a trial and such.
See also: Simpson, Orenthal James
Yes, which had a trial where they determined he wasn't liable.
The Ducks do not presently have a criminal or civil case involving anything to my knowledge, and definitely not at the level of assault.
I don't get it because you're trying to convince me that if something was taken out of the criminal circuit for whatever reason, it no longer is important. You also tried to sneak past us that you don't know what a civil court is. I don't get it because you don't know it,.
I have forgotten more about Civil legal procedures and litigation that you will ever know. And how foolish of you, you think businesses advertise litigation? How in the world would you know. You don't... NEXT ISSUE!
-
its Money thats what people sue for or performance and we know thats not what would be wanted. So someone wants money...Why should the team care about that.
When Bob threw the chair and hit that women, it was a civil suit.
You obviously don't get it. There is not a team in the league that does not have some kind of litigation ongoing. Its the world we live in.

For the record, Mailloux isn't accused of any kind of sexual assault. What he is accused of doing is disgusting and pig-headed and it's a shame that Montreal had to ignore the wishes of pretty much everyone by drafting him, but it's not right to call Mailloux a sexual predator. What he did was wrong, but I'd be fine with Mailloux apologizing and making it up to the girl, doing his penance, taking his punishment, and then learning from this and moving on to have a good NHL career. But if Virtanen did what he's accused of doing, I'm not ok with that at all and don't want him anywhere near this team.
If Virtanen did something, its an accusation without witnesses and no criminal charges. You don't have to have actual damages to file a civil lawsuit. People make foolish claims and accusations daily and then go on to lose big in the courts. Attorneys dont work for free. What Mailloux did was criminal and he admitted to it?

Sadly, the innocent until proven guilty only holds in the courts. It is very much not alive in greater society, social media, etc. Teams won't touch them just because of societal uproar.
I wonder what would start to happen if those who are later found innocent start suing the leagues who wouldn't take them, etc. Can be an interesting turn.
Thats why teams are paying out their contract obligations.

Completely different situation. He’s already at the end of his situation. He was fined by police in Sweden, and admitted to what he did. Nothing more can come from that situation. It’s resolved. What he admitted to doing isn’t a serious as what Virtanen is accused of doing, and even still, reportedly 12 NHL teams refused to draft him at all.
Just look at the other leagues, it’s the same thing. Trevor Bauer is 100 times the player that Virtanen is, and he hasn’t played for the Dodgers since a women accused him of sexually assaulting her.
His case is worse. He did it and admitted to it. JV is an accusation with no witnesses and a claim that has not moved forward.....
-
Not really what did Montreal just do with their first round pick?
-
Its a civil matter, not criminal and in the US he is innocent until proven guilty.
The article I read also that the Gov't has not filed any charges and nothing has been filed with the courts. It dates back to 2017.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a father of 2 daughters and 3 granddaughters. If he is guilty ill throw the fry switch myself. But he is entitled to due process.
Why did he fall into dislike Volkov
in Former Ducks Forum
Posted
the Anaheim Ducks placed winger Alexander Volkov on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract.
Volkov, 24, has appeared in two games this season for the Ducks' AHL affiliate San Diego Gulls, tallying an assist.
