I don't know, I think historically there have been two different Armies. As a rival GM you needed to be afraid of "Trader Doug". As an agent you LOVED being in conversations with "Contract Doug". There have been obvious exceptions to both, but whenever I hear that the Blues have made a trade I get excited, and when I hear they've made a signing I gulp. I took a look at Army's UFA signings after I wrote the bulk of this, and there weren't as many scary contracts as I thought, but Lehtera, Faulk, Steen, Berglund etc have left there scars. Having said that, Trader Doug has a knack for making making the more egregious problems go away.Turk Sanderson wrote: Wed Sep 09, 2020 10:12 amNever play poker with Army....Dave's a mess wrote: Wed Sep 09, 2020 9:58 am This was from a Petro question in JR's recent mailbag:
Not looking great for the statue.One source said the Blues were offering a five-year deal that was closer to $7 million than $8 million.
The belief is that Pietrangelo is not happy with any of the offers he has received and he’s very disappointed in the way things have been handled.
