I have been invited to watch and given permission to ask a few questions today. Sipping from his mug that says "world's greatest GM" on it, Wes Mucyk watches on as his Carolina Hurricanes continue to run through their drills at today's training camp session.
Mucyk"I believe in these guys. I know that they will continue to improve as our organization expects. Our boys will be battling for a playoff spot this season. Then, next year they will find their way into the playoffs. The year after that, we will be Stanley cup contenders. At this year's trade deadline, we will either do nothing, or bring in a piece or 2 to help let the boys know we believe in them."
Jack Lame "Any decisions made with regards to this year's roster? Like will there be any potential surprises to come out of camp?"
Mucyk"nope. I believe anyone who follows the hockey world had our roster figured out following last season. I let those players know, at their exit meeting that they had made the Hurricanes roster. Nobody is sticking around training camp this year, trying to make the team. We have our roster, everyone else has already been sent down to Chicago."
J.Lame"wow. I'm not sure"
Mucyk "oh, it will probably surprise most that we decided to take an A away from Burakovsky and give it to Cozens."Jake Lame"yeah, sure does. Let me ask you, have you seen Alex Lyon's RB rating? Like 94, wow."
Mucyk"Really! The roster, strategy and system I can put together around that."
and just like that, I had lost him. His face formed a stupid look. I thought he was struggling to crap while lost in deep thought. His head turned to look at the roof while he surely was dreaming of a world where, with his newly built team, along with the 94RB rating, Alex Lyon was accepting his 8th straight Veniza trophy. Following the teams 8th straight Stanley Cup win. The hockey world would now look at him to be the greatest goalie of all time. All thanks to the World's Greatest GM.
I waited for about 15 minutes, waving my hand in his face, saying excuse me, but the asshole, still with a ridiculous look across his face, was lost in one hell of a fantasy.
Mucyk was not seen again....for 3 days.
