Quoting: Devil
Wow, you rarely hear a GM being that open to the media. I do like Guerin's boldness (to an extent) but there are some things you just can't say to the media
Fiala is probably gone and will likely go for alot less than everyone thinks he will go for.
It's not really boldness. It's just unprofessional, petty and petulant. Guerin lost his cool because he took personal offense to a simple, innocent question. Even if you're planning on trading a guy in a month, you don't drag him to the media just to "protect" another guy's honor. He very easily could have just said something to the effect of "well it doesn't necessarily have to be Dumba, we have options" or his famous go-to "you know what, we have a plan, we're going to make our decisions, and it'll either work out or it won't".
In the span of less than 15 minutes, between the Fleury/Talbot and Fiala/Dumba questioning, he proved that he's not this beacon of objectivity he claims to be, he has his favorites, he gets too emotional when pressed by the media for doing their jobs, and he's very arrogant. Anything beyond that is speculation, but believe me, I'm speculating wildly in my head.
There is a proper way to be "bold", but this was neither proper nor bold.
