What kind of proof can a fan possibly provide without the media or police or the team not already having or containing. You think the club would freely leak all this stuff out to the public to show?? You do realize that if someone in law enforcement leaked evidence to the media that he wouldn't get fired on the spot? Sometimes rumours can be far fetched and ridiculous.... but when an over whelming amount of people from around the city have experiences or connections say something that lines up perfectly with them being absent and then traded and then "mysteriously injured" you can't really think that it's absolutely not true at all. Evander Kane had character issues from day one, everyone said the guy was a jerk , arrogant and was not liked by his team mates and was a diva. Eventually the truth got leaked and he was traded away and low and behold all the rumours were 100% correct. For BOGO he's gone and the team is in a way better place as he was a liability. Trouba is still with the club... has regressed each season and is not looked upon as a guy with his head on straight and acting like a true professional on and off the ice. He was Bogo's roomate, he missed mysterious time last season like Bogo right around the rumours of him going to rehab... no reports of him taking the off season serious with conditioning (like Scheifele did). Tonnes of flags on Trouba...

For a third line player... Anything will be an over payment.

So every time a black person drops an "N" bomb are you going to speak up and denounce them for spreading racist words? Good luck with that.

Helle has played well above expectations and if not for him we would of lost even more games....

It's 100% not performance related on why he was sent down. Isn't Hutch on a 1 - way deal? My guess is Pavs is on the trading block and will be gone soon to free up cashola and he probably can bring back at least a prospect or two. It will be a salary dump deal. Helle is the starter for us next season no doubt about it.

Fellows.... it's all part of the tanking. We will get a top 5 pick surely which is great!

So can we finally stop with the Wally Buono is a genius and can do no wrong? He's made mediocre moves for the last handful of years.

I like when fans suggest we substract 2 players and use that salary to sign one player..... I'm hoping these fans are cross over Rider fans.....

Sign Nik Lewis as a WR coach / back up receiver / 6th OL guy?

*Some* think that CM Punk is doing this because his opponent looked legit and he is chickening out. I wouldn't doubt this since he looked perfectly healthy on tv the other week and it's very odd timing for him to pull out if this has been an ongoing issue with him for a long time.

Seems odd that they would bail on him?

Corey Watson could block and yet those screen passes still were useless.

It all depends on who steps up, if no one does anything then he might be retained.

Lol so is he suppose to follow the guy and take pictures?

Ladd straight up for Stamkos!

I can't remember Lapos play calling but it couldn't of been as bad as MB dealing with the blitz.

Capicotti is the only big name. Lawrence is not even a starter...hardly a huge name. Good utility guy on offense.

Dressler, Smith, Messam and Chick are better then the guys you replaced them with. You replaced all star level talent for above average depth.

In the end do the Riders have more talent now then what they had at the end of last season? IMO that answer is no.

....

In fairness to Riderfans.com ... for the few forum threads that I checked out they were pretty positive about Ryan Smith and did say the Blue made some good moves. I think only a vocal minority of people on that site is making the more foolish comments.

Trouba hits more rails then Myers though

You don't see them going for Fuller?
