Please Heckstall, look in the mirror and waive. Go away. Your +/- is the worst on the team, you disappear for long stretches and you just go through the motions seemingly happy to just collect your paycheck.
Crazy
This isn't a diagnosis or a value judgement, but he just may have some superiority/sociopathic traits. He's in charge, he's the boss, and the boos and chants really, truly don't affect him. Take blame for nothing, take credit for everything – those are traits that will advance you in any american company.
What a trash GM. What a piss poor decision hiring that POS.
Should have waived the whole team!😆
We really need to turn it around if we wanna make the playoffs
What a moronic GM Dennis Hextall is! He extended Kapanen’s contract by 2 years just months and now he waived him. That’s a fireable offense, Penguins President Brian Burke.
I don’t blame him for not wanting to trade away our first round pick. This is supposed to be the deepest and best draft in 8 years.
Why will no outlet talk about it! They are going to move the team!!!!! first step turn their fans on them by tanking and making the team a lost cause.
Hextall is an undercover agent, sent here by Bobby Clarke to destroy the Penguins and prevent Sid from winning the Cup
He should have been unemployed after the end of last season.
Not making excuses BUT the cupboard isn't brimming with trade pieces….what the hell can you do?
Kappy is not the problem,Carter is dead weight,can’t get him the puck,nor anyone else to make a big impact play! Need to put Carter in the press box,bring energetic guys up from AHL!
