I do need some cloud yelling time, that I will give you.
But the points stand:
1. Out of touch with players: Gaudreau's entire presentation was outlined around making him the focal point of stardom in the city. Making him a lifelong flame. Talking about eventual statues of him. It is pretty damn clear after the decision he made that none of these things were even remotely on his priority radar. So why was that the pitch? Out of touch. The Lucic story, out of touch. Monahan not going on IR until after the trade deadline? Super out of touch. This management team is not connected to the players on the roster, their wants or their needs.
2. Out of touch with league: Just look at the typical signings this management group makes on a year to year basis. It's always against the general league trend of player. That's why we wind up with Neals, or Brouwers, or Colemans.
3. Poorly connected in the league: this one is a hunch, but it doesnt seem like we're ever the prefered dancing partner anywhere. We're always the second choice. Treliving is "in" on everything, but never completes the deal. Why the hell is that the case? IMO it's lack of cohesion.
