Dexter Morgan Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 And also missed the playoffs every other year since 2009-2010. Lamerilleo was a very good GM at one point. But the league has moved on and he has not done well. got anymore meaningless cliche's like "the league has moved on"? He's something actually meaningful, the Devils circumstances have changed, new ownership hasn't been as helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 To be precise, anti-threads are for chronicling the ignominy, failure, and scumminess of their respective leagues. It just so happens that all those words describe NHL expansion. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJTank Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I would be worries as a Devils fan if Lou Lamerello made a right decision in the last decade, but as the Kovalcheck fiasco, nine million coaches, no decent draft picks, failing to sign Zach Parise and chasing Marty away show he has lost his fast ball. This has Leafs failure written all over it. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 Ultimately, between Shanahan and Babcock (and Hunter and Dubas), Lou will have far less influence than most GMs. The Leafs seem content GMing by committee, so he's basically just another member of the panel. You all act as if he's been granted Brian Burke power. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wrong, I thought he was only 70, he's 72. Who gives a 72 a three year contract? The one way I do see value in this hire is his connections and ins with the NHL old-boys network, which if he uses his time to introduce the younger executives might be worthwhile. But then again, the NHL pimp-slapped him pretty badly for the kovalchuk contract, so how much do they really like him?I just wouldn't let him make any real decisions.

I see no way that having a bunch of type-A personalities making decisions by committee can possibly go wrong.Their idea is to treat the Maple Leafs like Team Canada. They've tried everything else for 47 years to no avail, might as well try something different. @2001mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youcan'tseeme Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Didn't think Bonino would be moved by the Canucks so soon. Perhaps with all the Kesler to Pens rumours, (prior to his trade) Sutter was the target Vancouver wanted? After last season too the Pens more willing to move him.
