Ya know what bugs me, the fact that all these new fans hating on Coots. This dude didn't ask to be named captain. He didn't ask to be matched up against the leagues superstars at 18 with no help. He was one of the best offensive players in juniors. Played for countless coaches and terrible lockerrooms with Giroux and Voracek who couldn't eat well enough to avoid gout. He dealt with Torts, AV, Hakstol, He's been one of the most consistent players to ever put on the orange and black, and because this joke of an organization needed to sell more crewnecks they needed to name a captain they gave it to a guy who is struggling to keep up after all the abuse they put him through and he's taking it all on the shins. Yeah he's getting paid, but he's one of the only ones who deserves every penny. There was a time when there wasn't a better center in the LEAGUE except Toews. But because our stop gap goalie on a career year put us in a playoff spot, here we are again. Middle of the pack STRUGGLING while none of our young players are playing in an environment that leads to growth because you're trying for a playoff spot. Who cares if you make the playoffs if you get bounced out in 4 games.
Torts was right about you. It’s time to leave this organization. You’re too slow & bring down every winger you play with. Tell Danny you will waive your NTC. If not, we should put you on waivers, & bury you and your 7.75 contract w the Phantoms. We already have younger cheaper 3rd 4th line centers.

A team doesn’t get motivated when your captain does un-captain like things. That’s Couturier. He’s useless

useless all season long
Slow and entitled with terrible body language.
Captain Coots 🧡🖤
Please retire coots. It's over. Do the right thing for the organization. Walk away and don't return.
Шесть поражений подряд, очнитесь уже наконец, ну сколько можно терпеть это дерьмо 💩💩💩

I wonder if he would eaive his NTC. For his own sake. Maybe he would look better on another team. Maybe Danny could sell that to him.
Tanking rarely works. All depends on how/who you draft and how you develop, all while signing and trading for the right players.
Also.. it’s a fucking rebuild. You’re going to have ups and downs, casuals won’t understand this.
I appreciate his honesty and no bullshit answer. They'll come out of it.
