yeah, but the 1st year rumor was that yotes wanted Juolevi going the other way.
Why the hell would the Yotes have wanted Juolevi lol, that goes against like everything they've been doing so far under their current management.

This new management is nuts because everyone doesn't seem to be on the same page, like there is no communication at all. Huge red flag when Aqua straight up lied/hid the fact that Bruce was hired on for a year and didn't tell JR about the 2nd year option etc. Maybe JR wouldn't be so fucking salty and disrespect Bruce so much for choosing to do the 2nd year instead of walking away like JR hoped he would. A lot of pros and cons with this new management though. JR was right that the team is trash without Demko being a god, and it's exactly that no matter how well Petey, Hughes, Horvat etc. are performing. The players they identified so far worked out decently for the team aside from Stillman, so im praying and hoping to see how well this team does when they finally get a coach THEY want, cap flexibility to do shit they want etc. but not a good sign with all these outside distractions, what FA would wanna join this joke org unless they get massively overpaid to join the circus
It really has been strange.
They've said all the right things, by all accounts they recognize the faults with this team, yet they doubled down on the roster
and added more cap to it... which seems to suggest they were fooled by the run last year despite knowing it was mirage put up by goaltending?
Makes no sense.
Their pro scouting seems to have been decent so far. I still don't know if Stillman was a target or just a cap dump, and it's Bruce who keeps playing him but some retarded reason.
