Dawg's Wife wrote:Just to clarify PKC is right. My husband played hockey at a fairly high level and then when done, he went out to work like a regular person. After a couple of years he decicded that he wanted to be back working in the sport he loved so he started down the road to become a Scout.
Last Spring he was hired on to scout minor league and university players. Sometimes he's asked to evaulate pro talent. While you would think he would do this in his home town, the oposite is in fact true, he scouts the WHL and Northern Universities so we don't see much of him during the season. Anyway, he used to regularly post to Turd Heads board, but the team he works for discovered his alias and asked him to stop posting. He mostly posted to refute the drivel that Turd Head was posting, but sometimes he commented on other teams needs and players. I'm sure you can see how a GM or President didin't want what their teams view of anothers teams assests to become public knowledge.
As a result he has stopped posting, but they can't stop me from posting, so as long as I'm careful not to cross the line I can feed some information your way.
As for players involved in deals. I only threw Fishers name out because it has been a name talked to Murray about. I don't have any special insight into the Ottawa team, my husbands team is a Western Conf team, but I can tell you what players other GMs have inquired about their availability. That doesn't mean they are being shopped, but when a team is down like Ottawa other teams start to circle and will inquire about just about every player....including Alfie.
Understood. Thanks for clearing that up. It doesn't surprise me that teams are asking about everyone...all trying to lowball Murray too no doubt
