My imaginary interview...

[Leedog]

with JD.
Q 1: What were you thinking when you attempted to trade valuable assets for Kovulchuk?
Possible answers:
1 I thought we could resign him long term and 50 goal scorers are hard to come by.
Follow up Q: Did you not read the paper and see what he turned down in Atlanta?
You thought you could sign him then but no way now?
2 We thought he was the 1 guy this team needed to make a long run in the playoffs,
so mortgaging the future would be worth breaking the promise to stay the course
with an expensive rental.
Follow up Q: If you thought he was that guy, what kind of message does it send
your fans that you won't pursue the messiah now?
3 I really didn't pursue him. I just said that to help give false hope and sell a few
extra season tix before July 1.

I'll bet that no one who actually has the access to really interview JD has the balls to ask this.

JD needs to go rogue. And army could be a little more "mavericky".

I even said that when LEEEEEERY was GM. JD has his hands way too far into the organ-I-zation. Yes, he is President, but it almost seems like he is trying to run the GM and coaching jobs a little much.

In Neil Armstrong I trust... and his brother Doug.

I think that's the point though. We have a new GM now, than when we supposedly tried trading for Kovy last season. It isn't outrageous to think that with the new GM came a new way of thinking and Armstrong doesn't see Kovy fitting in the same as Pleau and JD did. Hopefully this is a sign that JD is letting Armstrong run the team how he wants and I think that is probably a good thing, especially with Armstrong having his boy here now in Dave Taylor.

Iceman approves of this statement.
