Not sure how its comparable really.  DeBoer can't keep a locker room.  He was asking to get fired with those comments about Otter.

This. It’s apples and Oranges.  Rod never lost a locker room. Stars players clearly went to leadership and threatened to leave if they didn’t fire him. Rod is loved. DeBoer is a cancer

Hurricanes are vastly inferior to edmonton and florida and will never make a cup appearance under Rod.

Ok I’m going to put it like this. Rod doenst have top elite players like the oilers or panthers. Slavin or maybe aho are the only ones. And aho isn’t elite. Rod is making ECF with mid/good players.  Give rod Edmonton or Florida’s players and its cups.  Plural.  For a fanbase that is now spoiled, we are getting greedy and too big for our britches

RBA is the Dean Smith of hockey.

A lot of wins, a lot of trips to the post season, but little to show for it at the end of the day relative to the W-L record. And, not unlike Dean Smith, RBA won't have a superstar on this team. The closest he got was Necas, then Rantanen, and neither wanted to be here. Dean Smith preached the team approach, and even Michael Jordan averaged almost 18 ppg in Smith's system.

Mitch Marner is not the answer. Ehlers or Brock Boeser might be the better fit. And find a replacement for Orlov who has some offense (Provorov, Gavrikov, Ryan Lindgren or even Aaron Eckblad).

Huh? Not sure if this is Dean Smith slander or not. MJ loved playing for Dean and won NPOY. And Dean had plenty of stars before him and after him. James Worthy, Vince Carter, Antawn Jamison, etc. Dean won 2 nattys. The college game was different then, Dean had more star power and national championships than basically any of his peers.

Dean Smith frequently benched players when he thought their egos were taking over the game.

And all of the stars you mentioned showed out much better in the NBA  than their college careers might have indicated 

And John Wooden.

Elite players dont fit Rods system. Rod has hit his ceiling. We arent going further.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that would could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch him.  If he regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.

      He did himself more harm than good by engaging in this ridiculous legal battle. One it brought to light how much gambling he was actually doing and two it made him a very unlikable figure from a public perspective because he was challenging the perceived sanctity (lol) of college sports. Then to make things worse his lawyers convinced a very stupid and very gullible old boomer judge to agree with him. Now he’s a lightning rod entering the league and that’s not a good place to be.
