It's pretty crazy to think about LAK shedding young D over the last few years:

Brock Faber to Minny due to pipeline logjam at RHD affecting their ability to get him to sign.
Sean Durzi to Arizona for a 2nd
Sean Walker to Philly as part of the Cal Petersen cap dump
Tobias Bjornfot lost to VGK on waivers

They still have issues getting playing time for Brandt Clarke, Jordan Spence, and Jacob Moverare in the NHL.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Maybe. Or its that the handling of Jireck and no clear solution is where they went alright time to move on

As why not just waive Peeke or something and give Jireck a spot lul</div></div>

i guess that the powers that be didn't trust him going into the deadline</div></div>

To me, it just shows that there is a unique skillset to scout/identify/draft and develop prospects into NHL players; target and recruit NHL players/coaches; and another to take a collection of talent and mold into a winning team. Jarmo did the first two fairly successfully (not without a few mistakes: ala Mike Babcock) but just wasn't able to become successful in the 3rd.

The executive or coach who builds the team isn't always the one that takes it to its success; sometimes you need a new perspective, new voice, new leadership to forge it into a contender.

But sometimes you can break it too; it's not always linear. Columbus has to be really certain of there next step.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>DOPS has been unreliable since the day Parros took over

He has no standard everyone agrees here. Why u think we joke about the wheel

This season especially its been pretty bad 6 games for first time offenders when the standard last year was at most 2-3 games be a bruh moment

U got guys like Wilson rag dolling people nothing, Bennett choke slamming someone nothing, like the list goes on

Parros is unfit to be DOPS heck even the Rangers had the ballz to call him out. Wish more orgs would do the same</div></div>

I agree with you in wishing that there was more consistency - but if this is them shifting towards harsher suspensions, I'll be fine with it. They gave Brendan Gallagher, another first time offender, 5 games for his elbow on Adam Pelech a couple weeks ago, and now Rielly is getting at least 6 it would seem - again, if this starts weeding the garbage plays out of the game I'm fine with it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan98</b></div><div>They were all head-oriented plays, most outside of plays...

Second, Greig fell as soon as contact was made, a lot like another Sens player during a different play...

Third, Rielly kept hockey code...

You notice how all the NHL and ex-NHL players are on Rielly's side? And the media's on Greig's... Funny eh? And guess what Parros is? An ex-NHLer, specifically one that ensure NHL code was kept

I side with the ex-NHLers especially considering Greig wasn't hurt and knew what he did</div></div>

Oh give it a rest with your "hockey code". You go over, grab him by the scruff man to man, give him some nice face wash, shake his bones, okay. Cool.

To go over and take his head off with two hands on the stick??? Uhh no. You are light years too sensitive and entitled. Get real.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>A_Habs_fan</b></div><div>I haven't seen anyone here say Rielly shouldn't be suspsended. My guess is Rielly gets 3-5 games for the cross check to the face. There are multiple thruths going on here, both Grieg and Rielly should've known better than to do what they did, Grieg broke an unwritten rule (which I have been on the unwritten rules in sport are stupid train for years, however, they still very much exist and one should be aware of them), while Rielly will get suspended for a dumb move that has no place in hockey</div></div>

On the unwritten rule scale from minor-to-major, the Grieg slapshot ranks somewhere between "crossing the red line during warmups" and "not moving puck to linesman after a whistle"

Breaking his head is not the proportional response.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Rielly's was not as bad? I see you're trying to be pragmatic and relative about it, and I get that. No one should ever get away with under 10 games for the things those guys did. And frankly, that might be too lenient. This was a straight up assault. Over, and I'm sorry that I have to say it, practically nothing. People in here acting like what Greig did was some insidious form of unsportsmanship... but cross checks to the face are Kosher. It's beyond pathetic.</div></div>

I guess I’ll toss my two cents into this

What Grieg did was objectively not the classiest move and well that’s a lesson learned looking at it for him now

However. Reilly 100% intentionally crossed checked him in the face. Can’t even say his stick went up his shoulders. He didn’t touch them at all. That’s a chicken move and does not have a place in hockey, if you’re actively defending Reilly here, idk man, the excuse of “oh look at back then” is over. It’s a newer, safer era of hockey. Accept it. Saying that’s embellishing is craaaazy

Reilly in my eyes should get 2 but if he gets more it’s his fault. You can’t do that, not now. Two key games to stay alive in the east coming up in Philadelphia and St Louis. Who are good or red hot rn. Reilly also learned a lesson. And will be learning a lesson on how to control a stick
