Hextall for President 2016?


King Knut

Recommended Posts

Ask Obama how to fix that..... :ph34r:

What always cracked me up about that (because I think it's kind of a silly rule that had no literal interpretation) is that McCain was the one who was definitely born in another country and then had it fixed later by an act of congress. But no one ever brought it up.

Just goes to show how silly it all was.

I say hextall can run for whatever he wants.

Holmgren started out doing and saying the same things Hextall did. No more trading youth for aging players. Use draft picks wisely. Etc.etc. He actually even started out doing just that. Then he went the total opposite and destroyed the team.

I think as long as Snider lets him have his way, Hextall will stay committed to this path. Holmgren learned under Clarke, Hextall learned under Lombardi. The Kings are running a bit tight against the cap, but the team is well constructed, and they've used targeted free agent signings and trades as opposed to grabbing the best players they thought were available and trying to shoehorn together a roster. I'll trust Hextall until he starts veering off course.

I remember all the "in Holmgren we trust" non-sense from 2007-08. Where'd that loving feeling go?

 

I remember when the term "HolmgeniusTM " was being bandied about on Philly.com and it first it looked to be true...then he began mismanaging the cap and making really suspect moves and that moniker was out the window.

It really did start to become clear that the "good things" were the nuts found by the blind squirrel and they became fewer and farther between.

Couldn't agree more Rad, couldn't agree more!  I have a feeling Hex is going to be his own man is going to do stuff the "right way" (aka adapting to the realities of the post lockout(s) NHL).  Whether that translates to a Championship or not depends on a lot but at least I feel that we have the chance to win in this version of the league if he at least does stuff the "right way".
