What else should he say? Do you think the Coaching stuff would have liked if he said that he prefers McCann over Griffith and that it was wrong to sit him?
Players have to answer so many idiotic questions...they will just give you some standart answers. Tonight they might ask him about Reimer. Do you think that he'll say anything bad about him...for example that he prefers Luongo? He would never do it...regardless of Reimer's play.
I'm by no means a Nuckles supporter but there were 3 Swiss players on their roster in recent years. That's why I followed them quite a bit. I never heard anything bad about McCann. In fact, Baertschi even seemed to like the guy a lot. I also remember other players like Cracknell or Hutton hanging out with Jared.
There are always rumours when a popular guy gets traded. Fans are disappointed and the management is looking for excuses. In the end, the Nuckles mishandled the guy and that's why it didn't work out.
I don't believe in anything else until you provide facts. If anyone has been a problem in Vancouver, it probably was Virtanen. I got the feeling that he's quite an arrogant and selfish guy. I wouldn't call it a fact but if one of the two was a problem, it would probably be Virtanen. Also seems to lack work ethic after an intense start. I get that he had health issues and and, just like McCann got misused...still. Nuckles probably realized by now that they traded the wrong guy.
