Standard response for when asked about Formenton:
"I am here to play hockey and win. If you have questions about signings or trades, feel free to ask Stan".
|
Yeah, I'm with you.
The players are paid to play hockey. Not to manage a hockey club. That isn't their role, that isn't in their contract.
So even if they are being consulted as a leadership group, the decision ultimately should fall on the desk of the GM, President, and Owner.
The employees really shouldn't be trotted out to provide PR cover for the decisions that fall into the hands of the management. Even if they were consulted. There is still power dynamics at play, to varying degrees, and it isn't fair to expect employees to publicly stand in opposition to their employer. Sometimes they do and you respect it (Bergeron, Marchand), sometime they do and you don't respect it (Archibald), but mostly the players will just tow the line and not rock the boat within their organization.
Let's put the blame where it should reside, and be all means, please do put the blame there.
