Anaheim here........Freddie 's positional style in net was ALWAYS so much more calming as a fan, compared to Gibson. Gibson appears at this point in his development to be less able to maintain position. Freddie also didn't get injured with ANY regularity, Gibson is a bit of any injury magnet so far.....I would have kept Andersen, but since we're a discount team, Gibson makes more financial sense. I like Gibson too, but when you see how Freddie plays, so calm, so positional, you'll know what I mean. Most fans here thought Andersen deserved the start in the playoffs too.
Freddie was ALWAYS a good teammate. Never complained and was always willing to do as asked, whether starting or backing. Had we signed him at 5 mil. Per, I would be happy. Kessler and Bieksa, whom I value, I feel were over termed and overpaid. So I'm not just rubber stamping whatever our g.m. does.
You're going to love Freddie.......

I appreciate the question, the laffs have been rebuilding since 1967, but they sucked even worse this year than the usual degree of suckage which is typical for the laffs. The natural reaction of the laffer to this is that they are rebuilding, which would be an actual good thing if they didnt just sell off a bunch of picks for a fringe starting goalie and arent paying the best leaf since sundin millions of dollars to win cups elsewhere

>>68788078
the only players GMs get to see enough of throughout the season to have a valuable opinion on are those in the first round. in the second and third rounds teams start drafting more from leagues other than CHL. SHL/USHL/NCAA/liiga etc., i.e. leagues that NHL GMs don't get enough exposure to actually have a valuable opinion on the players. hell, I'd even include WHL in that group
if you actually think a GM this year is going to have any of their input considered on a player ranked in the 2nd round like Rasmus Asplund for example, you are a complete retard. GMs don't even get to watch as much as they'd like of the other NHL teams during the season, let alone something like the SHL. I thought this was pretty well-documented but apparently not enough for your dumb ass
>>68788509
wish this was real
>>68788808
every single GM in the league watches tape of the top 90 players in the ranking. Some even more than that
FUCK YOU BROOKSIE -john tortellini
it would be funny if a team didnt have any scouts and they just used the css rankings. hell, i bet theyd do just fine and save a ton of money.
i could probably draft just as well as any gm in the league just by using my phone and eliteprospects.
>>68789420
well probably better than Lamoriello any way
>>68789017
i specifically said get to see enough of that their opinion is actually of some worth, enough to let them decide the pick. watching players on tape definitely does not qualify. if your scouts who've actually watched jonathan dahlen live multiple times think he's the right pick to make, you're not going to take rasmus asplund because your GM watched some tape of him one time. no GM would try to assert their opinion in that situation , except for jim benning

I said they don't have any input on who is drafted past the 1st round. The only team where the GM does have input past the 1st round is Vancouver, and you would think they'd want to change their minds about that after he drafted someone like Virtanen that high.

You're grasping at straws thinking I am a Canucks fan. This got sad hours ago. Fact is that every single GM in the league has the most influence over every single pick. This makes your mental gymnastics of "GMs don't draft" an actual falsehood.

>>68792149
Nope, it doesn't really matter who you cheer for retard. The fact is GMs get input only on the first round of the draft, with the single exception of Benning in Vancouver. I laid out exactly why GMs don't get any input on any pick past the first round, in a perfectly clear manner, but it looks like you're still just too moronic to get it huh?
>>68792339
But I've clearly stated and you have agreed that they have more influence in any pick in the draft than any other person, ergo your claim of "GMs don't draft" was false.
This is not an argument.
You're simply wrong. And your insults and accusations just show how wrong you are.

If you were even close to being right, teams wouldn't bother employing a head of amateur scouting + scouts to work under him. They are the ones who make the picks past the first round, the GM stands aside and lets them do so.
Any team who let their GM have direct control of every pick would be a fucking tire fire
