Yeah dude, its completely ****ing ******ed, and I never said anything about him being a goalie, dont put words in my mouth please...what I said was that it was presumptuous for a career minor leaguer (and only 3 years at that) to try to compare his experiences with that of an NHL vet, the two are intrinsically different situations for more reasons than I can be bothered listing. I dunno if he's a buddy of yours or what but he needs to get over himself because its silly. I'm a computer programmer, and a damn good one at that, but you wouldn't hear me walking around comparing my own perosnal situation to that of Bill Gates or someone like that who has played the game at the ultimate level and prospered.
What I'm fed up with is having to hear you, Jason Bourne and every other monday morning QB chime in nostop on what Nabby SHOULD be doing, or how he's making a HUGE MISTAKE by choosing not to report. Its bullshit because you're applying your OWN judgments and motivations to a situation that doesn't apply to you in the slightest. If it was YOU perosnally who was in Nabby's shoes at the moment, never having played in the NHL and you we're refusing to report to the Isles I'd call you an idiot and agree with all this silly speculation because its a completely different dynamic. When you're trying to make the pros you gotta do everything you can, but as an established pro you have tons of options. Is he probably screwing up any options he might have in the NHL? Probably, but so what, he can retire comfortably if he wants, he can go play in Europe, he could become a goalie coach or he could sell ****ing insurance, it doesn't matter. Stop assuming you know what is best for someone who you've never met and who's motivations are unknown to you because it makes you come off as presumptuous as Bourne
