Rumor: Rob Ray Retiring?

[triumph_communes]

It’d be a step down for Biron wouldn’t it?  He does a lot of media for national Canada and he’d not have time for that anymore

Really doubt Biron wants that job.  In his current gig he only has to travel 3 or 4 times per year.  Take on Ray's current job and he's on the road for a couple of months aggregate.

Are his kids old enough that he doesn't mind being away from family that long?

Biron also does TSN so if he's on the road that probably wouldn't be possible anymore.

Everybody wants a pay day and everybody has a price.

Gotta be a former Sabre eh?

I like Rob. I will miss him. He has gotten better year after year. Once I realized that it was schtick, I liked him even more (the time he filled in for the national guy who had a family emergency, there wasn't a single "acrost" or "seen"). He knows his audience.

It's got to be the legendary Ville  Leino.

Not this regime. We'll be lucky if we get this guy:

Why necessarily a FORMER Sabre?

Why not a CURRENT Sabre?  Maybe THIS is the REAL reason Jacob Bryson was re-signed.  Not to spend his game days in the press box, but rather to spend his game days in that area NEXT to the bench.  He should have very good insights into what the team is doing as he'll be helping the equipment bring the sticks back into the dressing room after the game and he'll be practicing with the regulars the next day.

On the rare days that he's an injury fill-in imagine how much better his reports to Dan Dunleavy will be.

4D chess indeed Mr. Adams.
