[Stoner]

The real disconnect is between the team and the fans/community.

Strong statement.

In my opinion, based on my impressions, not based on a specific statement saying this thing but only on how I have interpreted the press conference so far, I think they will strongly favor hiring Granato. 

That good enough for ya PA?

Kevyn Adams is interesting to me. I am glad Karmanos is aboard though.

Here is a link to prove what I felt. It gives you all the facts you need to reach the same conclusions on my feelings.

You're good. We're all jacked up right now.

Trade request or not, to my mind KA makes it quite clear you will be traded if you don't want to be here. So much talk about how we acknowledge the past but can't live in it.

They will not be playing hardball with any of the assets.

Totally disagree. Here's why

Hence stepping away. 

There seems to be a clear thread coming from Adams, players that what to be here will be and those who don't won't. Specifically he mentioned a guy liking palm trees... so Risto to Florida or Anaheim E5

Kevyn Adams, Stanley Cup winning hockey player, really comes through in his stated philosophy. He's drawing on his reputation there to lend weight to his decision making.

It's amazing to me how professional journalists have such difficulty asking a clear question.

When they do ask a clear one, they ask it 50-60 more times

Like holy hell

Fine, I will give you more evidence. Boom! Link that ends this debate.

I like how they start with a statement that is long and convoluted followed by a question with 5-6 parts.

Not to mention asking really stupid questions like "how would you feel if you were the player?" He's the GM. He's got a team to run.

Sounded to me like certain players don’t want to be here and he will expedite the process of making them no longer here.  Also, the way he spoke of the “young core” tells me he’s ready to hand the reigns over to Dylan, Casey, Tage and Dahlin.

As long as by "reins" he means "in spirit". In mentality. It cannot mean in a literal roster sense. 

I'm listening closely and he hasn't yet betrayed it does mean in a roster sense, to my ears, so that has to stay that way

On the spine front I am aware of some new surgeries especially for scoliosis involving tethering that is highly successful.  Would love to know what kind of new techniques Jack might be considering.

If he says "honest conversations" again I might light my computer on fire.
