“It doesn’t matter that he had a hundred-point season then. He hasn’t had one since he’s been in Vegas.”
“Come on, Matt, you can’t put this all on Silver.
Vegas hasn’t given him a team that can give him a hundred-point season.
LA gave him a team. He had Shaw and Host. Both big d-men.

“He’s made up of an AARP card and the blue plate special at Denny’s. Julian Silver is going to be thirty-five at the end of this season. He’s injury prone, which was one of the reasons LA got rid of him—”
“LA had to trade him because Payton Hulton couldn’t keep it in his pants.”
“Bullshit, Tom. This whole shitshow with Hulton didn’t start until Silver was traded.”
“That’s not what my lovely and very smart wife thinks.”
“She’s listening, isn’t she? Leave the gossip to her show. LA was smart. If Vegas was, they’d be looking to offload him come July 1.”
