Posts 1094, 1096, 1109, among others. The thread is about Huberdeau’s contract, so I can’t imagine why anyone who has no interest reading or discussing the matter would be in here telling us there’s nothing to see here.

The point I’m making is that basically nobody seeks them out (unless they’re getting something good in return), so saying “no more bad contracts!” is silly. The cap going up and needing to hit the floor has nothing to do with bad contracts. No GM sets out to sign a contract he thinks is bad. Conroy might have already signed a bad contract. Who knows?
Who says those people have no interest? Maybe you’re just not generating an interesting enough conversation about the topic? That’d make sense, since it is pretty limited and we’re two years in since it’s signed. I definitely don’t think they’re instructing you not to talk about it.
You have to admit it’s pretty silly to suggest it needs to be discussed “constantly.” Like, what do you guys think happens if you don’t have the same circular, pointless conversation where nobody says anything new for the next 7 years? What’s the actual consequence for people just not discussing something when there’s nothing new to discuss?
