Comments on: This time last year http://www.mcsorleys-stick.com/2009/03/this-time-last-year/ Fact or opinion? Exactly.

Grebeshkov and Tambellini both have some fine qualities. Not everyone is a good fit when they come up; it’s not really (necessarily) the fault of the management or the player, but of the circumstance. Look at Quincey. Was Holland an idiot? I don’t think so. He had several tough choices to make. But we certainly benefited from that circumstance and I hope we retire Quincey’s number in twenty years.

I will do more writing if I have the time, which I don’t really. As it is, I’m happy to have a “drawer” to stuff all the interesting crap I find while I’m browsing around wasting time.

I know he wasn’t the most healthy, but he’s one of the ones I didn’t want traded.

I am still amazed, however, that Taylor got Gleason for Smoke when he did.
Of course, I never approved of the way Grebeshkov wasn’t given more time with the big club, but maybe he needed more development time.
I’d really like to have him back, judging by his stats.
I actually haven’t seen him play, that I can recall, since his time with the Kings.
Funny, too, that Tambellini has been potting some goals lately.
I hope he sticks in the league and has some success.

cheers quisp.
I think you should do more writing on this thing.
Why give all your stuff away for someone else to display?

You may be correct.
We’ll see.

PS – I feel I’m close to being ex-communicated by Hammond.
I could fill volumes with all the comments I’ve had deleted.

Especially Gleason, Stuart and Lubo. Of course, if we had retained them all, we’d have $24MM in salary for defense. I think, in the long run, we’ll be happier with Doughty, Johnson, Greene, Quincey, Hickey, Teubert, Voynov, Campbell, Kidd, etc…
