Didn't see Figgee post concerning minutes played by each player leaving (the year prior {if here then] and this just past season). As happened with Crosby under AM his minutes were not plentiful .... KA was hot or cold, XW ... back case or head case doesn't matter this late in the game (no pun here). We all seem to understand or know about JP ... what 4-6 minutes total! AN't working full time in a full time position ... I know someone posted points scored but this could be misleading as maybe someone played 18 minutes in one in 3 games and scored 15 points ... something like that ... How many minutes did these players contribute to the total team minutes? If you didn't contribute who's missing ya? You were brought in on a full scholly and didn't contribute? Who's missin' ya? The guy that brings in the donuts every Friday but you can't count on him any other time during the week .. he better not be making the same salary I am ..... In the real world I had a couple times that the boss in place (some cases company Pres) was replaced with someone new .. within a short period of time the old guard left over time (OR SUDDER was asked to leave) and the new guy brought in HIS GUY's. Sometimes I clung on till the end sometimes I said ADIOS. The clinging part never seemed quite so satisfactory in the end. Better to fish then to cut bait ... Hopefully both sides will be happier well except for Smit ...... OH you know who!
