Hey Leafs!

Since you're so inactive, let's talk inactivity

1) With how long you've been here, did you have a good sense of what rookies would soon go inactive by the time you drafted them in the SHL, or were you always surprised as the rest of us?

2) What do you think of the transition from LR to other apps. Do you think implementing Chatzy way back when was a mistake?

3) How the hell did you make Wikstrom a good player?

4) Any comments about the current culture in Winnipeg?

There are always surprises in every draft class. For me, I had a long list of players going inactive on me so I guess I didn't see it coming. However, a weird thing I've noticed is there are some signs that I usually see. There are some types of usernames and player names that scream inactive to me. I don't know why, but I've noticed a trend with them. Now, obviously it's not fool-proof, but there's more than enough for me to notice.

I can see the pros of having a chat system. It's instantaneous and easy to have a conversation. I like having them for big league events because it keeps everyone together in one area to talk about it, but for daily posting I like having it on the forums, it brings more activity.

You had a great build and I immediately targeted you in trade talks. You fit exactly where I wanted you in my lineup and I was determined to get you in the trade with the Wolfpack.

The culture right now is awesome. The members in the locker room are great and the activity is higher than it has been in a while. I really like what Winnipeg has going right now.
