The Best Team of NHL Scouts
well I didn\'t want to be the one to let the cat out of the bag, ...but it looks like it\'s just a matter of time till someone figured it out anyhow, So I may as well come clean and admit what has become increasingly obvious: That Paul Holmgren and I have come up with an even better, and cheaper idea than Dobber\'s Best Scouts Team.
I know everyone\'s starting to notice that the Flyers list of successful draft picks has increased dramatically in the last few years, and you\'ve all no doubt noticed the quick turnaround exhibited in the standings after finishing dead last in the league last year, ...and are wondering; \"hey, what\'s going on in Philadelphia?\" \"How are these guys suddenly able to identify prospects like Mike Richards? Steve Downie? and Jeff Carter?\" :huh:
Your probably also wondering about the dramatic improvment in the quality of the pro scouting as well saying \"Hey isn\'t
this the same team that just recently traded for Mike Comrie? hmy:
Who thought they\'s be just fine replacing Eric Desjardin, and Kim Johnson with Jeff Baumgartner? :blink:
Didn\'t they think Robert Eshe was a starting goalie????? :blush:
How the heck did they know about Lupal, Biron, or Brandon Coburn?\" :side:
\"What gives?\"
Well I\'ll tell you, ...Tired of paying million and millions
of dollars each and every year for a network of whiny, smelly and unreliable scouts (some of whom spoke less than perfect english and others who actually admitted to having recomended the drafting of Joni Pitkanen! :angry: )
Holmgren and I approached Flyers owner Ed Snider with a plan
to instantly return his organization to elite status and at the same time save him at least 10 million dollars a year.
The plan was simple:
1. Get rid of Clarkie .... He\'s a nice guy and all but someone has to answer for Robert Eshe, and that Kyle Calder trade. :angry: (besides watching him have to be politically correct was just too sad)
2. Fire all the scouts, eliminate their budgets, and allot half of their salaries to the signing of free agents (except Dave Brown, ...keep him \'cause he\'s scarrrrrrry) and replace them with one $29.95 Dobber\'s Ultimate Fantasy Pack/ and website membership.
3. Fire Ken Hitchcock, he\'s a great coach and all, but he just wasnt giving RJ Umberger any power play time, and it was really hurting me in my keeper league (sorry Hitch, glad to see you landed on your feet)
4. Two words: Randy Jones
5. Trade Forsberg to Nashville for Blue chip defense prospect, blue chip young forward, and draft pick which can then be traded for All Star defensemen, emerging power forward, and prime free agent attracting PR splash at the beginning of free agency, wait, express concern for latest Foppa injury, express hope for a full recovery, resign him, then trade him again (repeat as necesary to ensure dynasty status)
6. Sign Randy Jones to a 15 year 150 million contract before it becomes apparent that he, and not Sidney Crosby, will be the new face of the NHL.:laugh:
7. Post fake story on Dobber Website, praising Randy Jones to fool that Bastard Brian Burke who has surely been stealing tips here. :angry:
