Mike Commodore Waived

Blue Jackets place Commodore, Wilson on waivers

That 5 year $19M deal from 2 years ago isn't looking so good for the BJs now.

He requested it. Actually I think he requested a trade, but not a lot of teams look at that salary in a good light. That and big, bruising defencemen aren't a hot commodity (<---heh heh) in the league, especially at that tag.

So you're saying he's up the brick shithouse with no paddle?

as I read this thread, my wife is playing Pandora, on a kids station, and Lurie Berkner "Rhubarb Pie (Hot Commodity)" comes on.

I'm a little freaked out right now.

Pandora can peer into my brain.





... runs to get tin foil hat....

Is that you in the middle, Bizzle?

 

[Bizzle McDizzle]

damn fools

Everyone knows the Hershey's Kiss style hat only concentrates the evil.


"The Napolean" is the only way to truly protect yourself.

Thx for that, I had missed it. I think the Red Sox first baseman who lost the World Series still gets death threats to this day. Baseball is a funny sport. Oh well. At least ol' Joyce's remorse seems real.

















































But my signature stays.

Good call

Interesting story about his departure.

Blue Jackets' Commodore waived, lashes out at coach | The Columbus Dispatch

Arniel said Wednesday that his decision to scratch Commodore in recent games "is not personal. It's about hockey skills." He reiterated that yesterday.

Commodore begged to differ.

"I think it is personal," he said. "He says it isn't, but I have some serious doubts. I was playing well before I was scratched. That trip (to western Canada) might have been one of the better road trips I've ever had, and then we get back and I get scratched.

"For him to say I can't even crack the lineup on a team that it would be one thing if we were in first place. But for a team that's up and down, I just don't buy it. Sorry."


I have nothing against Commo (yeah, SUUURE I don't, just like Scott Arniel!) but haven't I heard this song and dance before? I could have sworn I read a story just like this about how Babcock had some personal vendetta against him back in their Anaheim days... is Commo a coach hater? His teammates seem to like him.

His teammates love him, but that's where he becomes dangerous. He's a bit of a free spirit and apparently has a hard time listening. For a coach that can apparently only manage one type of player, he can be a nightmare. And to a coach that wants him to play like anyone other than Mike Commodore, he's even worse.

That's the apparent root of this, Arniel wants him to play within the team standard of the mobile D, and he just simply isn't that guy. So he said I can't make it here, so trade me somewhere I can fit in.

And Howson seems to have taken a page out Murray's mismanagement handbook and took it public. And even worse for Arniel, he left Commo in the locker room. So, a guy who the players love, is in that room and unhappy or distracted. The players gravitate towards him and the whole room is down. Arniel can't motivate or change the one guy who is allowed to fester and BAM! The room is gone.

Can't say it's either's fault. Arniel can't relate to Commie, and Mike can't be anything other than what he is. Howson screwed the pooch here. He should have sent him down immediately, or at least sent him home while he worked out a trade. Bottom line is, the room is gone and it's not coming back.

I expect Arniel to be out of a job this summer. And it's a shame, he's a good coach. Totally not his fault.

LOL...I had to laugh at that statement.

Commodore is a good guy, but he strikes me as difficult to coach. As you stated he doesn't like change. When you're making almost 4 mil though, you do whatever the coach wants.


His contract was always ludicrous; he's now a victim of that. He can still play as a 5-6 d-man, but at that price he probably won't.

 

[puckhead]

half price now... he's on re-entry waivers
