#read the cbj article with the anonymous players#they were all like mmm it could be better but it's not that bad lol#main points:#-the town isn't very exciting for young players probably. and they do no marketing (so nothing new on this account)#-they're p harsh on free agents. the feeling seemed that they expected loyalty while offering below market pay and nothing much else.#(nothing really new on that account either lol)#-torts is very sincere with all his players. some maybe would rather he didn't let some things in the public.#one player said that torts sorts of expects to win if you play hard which isn't obviously what always happens#another thinks he's probably lost the room basically--he hasn't been able to pump the players as he's supposed to#-the air travel isn't the best but other than that the 'extras' offered to players (meals etc.) are fine and on par with the nhl level#all things considered it wasn't that exciting of an article but i didn't really expect any drama from it [shrug emoji]#i'll reread it a bit slower later maybe but i feel this was pretty much it#cbj#personal#p.s. to sum it up it seems the contract negotiations and keeping the players who love playing in cb are the weak point#i posted more on torts bc i thought those opinions were interesting but they all agreed that he's very sincere and that is p appreciated#(though sometimes more on retrospective)#but i wanted to clarify that a bit
