    Not the case. Because there were weeks after that meeting. Weeks where players made references to it. Weeks where Aldrich groped an intern.

    Months where Aldrich got to celebrate as a Stanley Cup champion. 

    He wants to claim ignorance? I don't want an ignorant general manager.

    Are we sure if Chevy is always with the team and was present when these things happened and he is not in some place or country busy scouting prospects (I would assume being the Assistant GM that’s one of his role)?

  2. To be clear, I'm not defending anyone on this matter.
    Just want to say that if we dig people's past... 5,10,15 years... I'll say most will not come out clean. 

    Now, back to read-mode on this topic. 🤐

    EDIT: When I say "people", I mean people in general not pointing to NHL people only.

    There were a couple of mentions about this on 3downnation well before Desjardins got fired. 

     "You media guys make it seem like GMs have all the power, but coaches always want at least some say in the roster. Some want a lot of say. (Ottawa Redblacks’ head coach) Paul LaPolice is one of those guys."

     

    Seconded by Naylor. Lapo want a lot of say especially on their QB situation.

    Do Lawler, Bailey and Demski all make the jumps that they have made tg=his year under Lapo? I say No.

    Agree. 

    If you watched one of Bailey's interview when he was asked regarding Buck's offense, you kinda sense that he is more happy with this.
    I guess maybe because Buck's offense feature more downfield strikes compared to Lapo's. 

  5. Quote

    More recently, Desjardins went out of his way to provide Paul LaPolice with players he was familiar with. The jettisoning of Nick Arbuckle in favour of Matt Nichols came at the request of his head coach. Running back Timothy Flanders, receiver Daniel Petermann and tackles Na’Ty Rodgers and Jamar McGloster were all with LaPolice in Winnipeg. All have been negative impact players in Ottawa.

    After Brad Sinopoli retired, per sources, Ottawa’s front office felt uncomfortable with the youth at the position and wanted to add veterans. LaPolice informed Desjardins he didn’t want to add names like S.J. Green, Ricky Collins Jr. and Naaman Roosevelt because his offence didn’t need veteran receivers to be effective.

    Or not vaxxed 

    Yes keep the coach who the gm u just fired for being incompetent hired. 

    I mean 

    The lapo love needs to end. It's quite apparent he's not a good head coach 

    Ottawa needs a complete and total retooling top to bottom. 

    Only coach I'd keep is Dyce at this moment. 

    Lapo Benevides to TsN 

     

    From the news yesterday, the RedBlacks wants to keep Lapo. Added to the fact that there's a personnel cap space they're considering. 
    So it would really make sense for them hire a GM that will agree on keeping Lapo. 

    Does it make sense for us? No. Do we care? No.

    Wow....that's cheap. Not a QB seller market this year.

    I think the trade is fair for both side.

    Edmonton need a experienced QB other than what they have now. And Arbuckle will be their most experienced QB and have won games. 

    On the other hand, Arbuckle never really established himself as the bonafide starter in Toronto and was beaten by McBeth. It's been known for few weeks now that Argos is shopping him.
