It's one thing when us nerd fans spin round and round endlessly but it's another when you're trying to sell the franchise to the genpop.
Like why not spin focus towards the future instead of digging on the Markstrom story. Or creating the very toxic space you're fear mongering about players wanting to leave.
You keep asking them why would they want to stay they'll eventually want to leave because the media instantly keeps prodding.
There has to be a better way.
I just kind of miss pre internet hockey reporting. It wasn't available 24/7 and news bombshells felt more organic. Instead of manufactured or even manifested.

The whole garbage bag day thing skews it as well. It's not a pleasant day for these guys - it's a reminder they didn't succeed. you aren't gonna get too many rosy responses, especially from guys who didn't have a great year.
