Looks like Kuntar only had 5:12 of ice time, which was 10 seconds more than Bryson. Did Bryson get hurt or something? Can't imagine why he'd be stapled to the bench with the way Timmons was looking last night.
Not really, if you know you're not renewing KA as the GM you don't want him going into the trade deadline and handling the Tuch negotiations.
Unless by "strange timing" you meant this should have happened 3 years ago, in which case I agree.
