It happens in the league. He made those calls, he was the GM at the time and that's the business we play in. It seems like if you don't perform, trades happen and sometimes it goes even higher.

assistant bills brought care difficult easy general good guys helped learn learned team took
It was tough. It was easy on the ice, but it was difficult otherwise. I had to learn everything. Guys on the team helped me a lot. The organization was real good and took real good care of me. I brought all my bills to an assistant in the general manager's office. I learned a lot.
couple definitely fast games guy hockey pressure shown step talented team tough
He's definitely a talented guy. Right now, he's been put in a tough situation. He's shown a lot in his first couple of games but there's so much pressure on our team right now. He's had to step in and play well right away and I think he'd done that. He's got a lot of skill, he's a pretty fast guy and he has a lot of hockey sense.
brand chemistry forget lines might playing seems sparks together track
It seems like the chemistry is not there for a whole game. You'll see sparks here and there, but it seems like we're just not on track now for some reason. Don't forget we have a brand new team. Don't forget that all the lines are playing together for the first time. It might take some time. That's part of it.
