Credit to Saillias in the New Jersey thread but think this actually needs it's own thread.

“We moved a couple of pieces now that were pretty vocal about not wanting to be here,” Coleman said. “I think once you eliminate that, the noise at this point, it’s not really affecting us. The guys that the noise is around, they’re competitors. They want to win here, they want to win wherever they are. They haven’t been a distraction at all.” |
The article as a whole is pretty good, but this quote is really telling to me. Clearly some noise in the locker room and IMO this quote really seems to be throwing Zadorov, and probably to a larger extent Lindholm under the bus a bit.
Also think it's quite interesting that I don't think there has been a single comment positive about Lindholm by a teammate, or about how they've missed him. Could be entirely due to the All Star break, but I can't recall any other trade where not a single player talked about the guy that was traded after the trade.
