<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>I think Trotz loves the guy a lot more than Lou.

I think this is them taking care of their guy and getting paid to play in the AHL, instead of signing a 750 k x 1 contract next season . He’s taking the security IMO</div></div>

Actually I’m not to sure about that. I remember Lou talking about him last year stating ”I wouldn’t mind seeing Johnston in the lineup regurlarly” etc. If Trotz liked him I think he would of played him more actually. Yeah Johnston would be stupid not to take that contract for sure. Compared to other 4th line AHL grinders he hit the jackpot with consecutive 4-year contracts. I wouldn’t mind having him on the AHL roster protecting the young, skilled guys from goons. Though I don’t think they will waive him, you could only hope.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>Lmao yeah Trotz was trying to deflect when asked about Chara. Staples article in the Athletic today was probably trash, once again.</div></div>

Some quotes from Staple's article:
"Dobson has probably struggled the second most among the six defensemen, and his ice time was even more limited than Chara’s on Sunday, with Dobson playing just 14:00."

"Now the Isles forwards are stabilizing and Chara is still struggling, posting a 39.6 expected goals percentage so far, per Natural Stat Trick. And there aren’t any readily available solutions." - Solutions in the sense of other options? Or how to get Chára to play better... I'm not sure. But for once Staple is pretty harsh in his article several times against Chára actually. But no dig at Trotz for playing him, ofc. Though he mentions a couple of time how hard the system is to adapt.

"The evidence continues to pile up that Trotz doesn’t see Sebastian Aho as a regular substitute on defense. Saturday or Sunday would have been ideal times to work him in and give Chara a rest, but Trotz doesn’t seem to believe Aho can stand up to a heavier opponent." - I agree on this, I don't know why Trotz has even bothered to suggest that Aho will get his chances. I think these last two games are evidence for that not to be true.

"Robin Salo is continuing his solid play from training camp, posting a goal and four points in his first five games with Bridgeport. But to replace Chara, one would think Trotz needs not just an emerging young talent but a defenseman who can handle the things he feels Aho cannot — and Salo, though a young guy with an extremely bright future, is probably not entrenched in the Isles’ front-office minds as a player who can handle heavy forwards right now."

"The Isles committed to Chara, and he’s been subpar. They are still committed."

He actually gives praise to Parise and Wahlstrom as a pairing. Even if he's implying that it is Parise who makes Wahlstrom look good, not the other way around or that they complement each other to look good.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles10</b></div><div>Yeah I have always been sceptical when romance and soft values, or a good saga, plays a big part in decisions in sport. That's why I've always admired the Golden Knights for how they have been working since they came into the league. They love Fleury but they thought they could improve on the ice without him and his 7 mils and decided it was time to let him go. That's tough of course, but that kind of mindset will make you successful in the hardest pro sports league in the world (in my mind). - And admit when you're wrong. It will not be easy for Lou and Trotz to scratch Chára, I get that, but this is not charity work. Chára is like Jágr, they will not admit or recognize it by themselves when they are cooked in the NHL. And with legends like that surely it must be hard to be the one person to tell them that... But it's their job to do it anyways. Salo and Aho are ready and entering their prime, they have to know that.

I would be so pissed of if I were Aho and demand a trade or get my contract terminated as Niku did. 100%.</div></div>

I happened to quote instead of edit. sigh.

I think Mikko Koivu deserves a lot of respect for how he retired early last year, he was true to himself and Columbus in that he didn't feel he got it any longer. Chára should do the same tbh.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>A lot of fans were so excited about Chara and they want it to work out, so when you criticize chara they take it personal because they have are emotionally vested in Chara playing well 😂

I honestly thought Chara had another year, but the guy Is cooked. It’s disrespectful to the rest of the locker room to continue playing him.</div></div>
