The thing I like with Billy G is he’s not from here so he doesn’t give a shit about the Minnesota retirement home slash “one of us” factor that every previous GM regime has leaned on.
That being said it’s nice dude gets a homecoming on a stacked team with cup aspirations

To be fair, Billy has talked about this at least a couple times before. The first time I heard him say anything about it was when he said as his career progressed, he was more and more grateful that he didn’t get drafted by Boston because of all the distractions at home.

This isn’t just some throw-away game in Rochester..

A necessary conversation for any kid coming home to play for the hometown team. Dont let your buds distract you from the goal. Its not a disrespect thing, its the GM making sure the kid knows we are happy for him but stay focused on the cup

BG isn’t the sharpest tack in the box eh? Yeesh…

If that’s really the first thing he said to him, it’s a pretty cold welcome lol

Bobby Brink left Minnetonka in 2018, graduated from high school in 2019, and if he had graduated from Denver it would have been in 2023. The hometown ticket scramble is always real, but his old friends are grown adults and have better things to do and I bet most of them don’t live in the Cities.

I actually love this and its not the first time BG has been outspoken about MN players coming home to play. Even though its home, theres a job to do. I have no doubt BB will be professional about playing here.

I mean I doubt it was the FIRST thing he said. But I get the sentiment.

You guys should listen to this. Sounds like Bobby could even see time on the first and second line. Ideal world is third line Billy G said. Sounds like he got glowing reviews from Torts on Bobby.
