Bye-Bye Hartsie, Kimmo


Recommended Posts

Just announced that the Preds have reached a deal with the Philly Flyers, sending Scottie and Kimmo to them for a 1st round pick, esentially reclaiming the pick back from the Forsburg deal.

 

I don't think we should've let Kimmo go so easily; Scottie had fallen a little out of favor with the coaching staff. But the money they are getting is WAY more than lame duck owner Leopold would've paid.

 

I just don't get why NOW, why not wait until Basillie gets the team, gets the say-so, opens up his checkbook.

 

Oh well, as the Beatles sang- "Oblidi, Oblida, life goes on bra, la-la how the life goes on." /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

We were not gonna sign all of our free agents... And PK wants to come back here. We are loaded at forward and defense. Since Basillie messed up his original application, it will be a while before he controls the purse strings. Way too late for free agency. Liepold will run the Preds on a tight purse string.... maybe what Basillie wants to discourage fans???

 

Anyway, if we can sell the tickets and garner the corporate support, Basillie will probably make a few deals toward the end of the year on players to assist in the playoffs...

Agreed, Hartnell and Timonen were not going to sign with Nashville, they went where the $$$ is. I'm not quite sure Kariya is the answer though, I thought last season was certainly not his best. I hope the Preds can pull an ace out of their sleeve to create the interest to sell the tickets needed....

 

 

 

I agree as well. Kariya slipped a bit last season, and was dissappointing in the playoffs. Still, it's truly hard to form an opinion, and there are so many things yet to unfold, giving the current status of the team.

 

I have no idea what is going through the minds of everyone involved.

 

I do, however, hope to have the same type of help from the commissioner to keep our team here, as was given to keep the Penguins in Pittsburgh. Will we, though? Considering we are in a non-traditional market, get the same type of support from Bettman and Co? One can only hope.

    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say ..
