We the panthers dumb or stupid to get rif of olli?

Question

ok so they picked up stillman as a FA but getting rid of olli? this is almost as bad as getting rid of lou. and do u think stillman will be able to get FLA back to the post-season?

Answer 1

Fla. is trying to mix things up to get out of the basement. A shame to lose him but at least let him shine somewhere else and use that $ to get more of what your team needs.

Answer 2

Stupid.

Answer 3

smart, they aren't gonna make it to the cup in the next few years so stock up on the prospects so you can have a legit shot in a few years

Answer 4

When I heard they got rid of Ollie I can say I was stumped. Why? He's a great player I can say that.

I did hear the management and what not was disappointed in Ollie near the end of the season. I say forget them. Sure he could have done better, but he went through a lot with the Zednik thing. I mean.....whether people want to admit it or not there are more important things than hockey, life being one of them. And like it or not it was Ollie's skate that hit Zednik......I'm not trying to bring Richard into this, but something tells me Ollie's decline in playing had something to do with Zednik. How would you feel if you almost killed your teammate? And for the coach/management to be mad at him for not playing as well afterwards is a bit....stupid.

........Agree with me or disagree; I don't care. That is just my intake on Ollie and everything.

I do it was smart of the Coyotes to get him. I like Ollie a lot and I think he'll help the Yotes out a lot.

When they signed Stillman I was a litte impressed, but I still don't know if they can make it to the post-season. They're team isn't set yet though. I'm sure they'll make a couple of more moves, so I can't say anything just yet.

Answer 5

What does rif mean? But no. As a Panther fan. Olli had outstayed his welcome. He tended to play lazy and only played  in spurts. He played like he didn't care anymore. He should have been gone last season. Glad he is gone . New blood will do the Panthers good now . WE have as good as shot as any team right now to go to the post season. Lets just wait and see

Answer 6

yes thay are not some of them

Answer 7

I could be wrong but I heard he had been asking to be traded for quite some time.  If thats the case, management really shouldnt have kept a player around who didnt want to be there.

Answer 8

I guess that depends on whether it was merely a bad season or not. He went from a Plus/Minus of +19 last season to a Plus/Minus of -18 this season. That's a 37 goal difference when he was on the ice.

Answer 9

i think so.i live in phx and go to alot of coyotes games,and boynton does not fight andymore,and ballard is good but he is going to need someone to play with.
