In two shocking statements, senior reporter Andru “Spicy” Wheaties has called for the removal of North Stars 4th round draft pick Chad Paulinski from the #pressbox and associated writers, prompting action from the player. Without directly communicating to the 4th round draft pick, Wheaties publicly announced his desires to switch Paulinski with North Stars GM Troy Otto. Wheaties is quoted as, “I like Chad but @ottotroy29 would be a nice Nstar representative in the #pressbox”, and “We could also swap Troy for Chad for power rankings or anything really Chad loves not participating. And it’s troys baby.”

Completely unaware that his inclusion into the #pressbox channel and the associated writers of MNL was problematic, Paulinski instead removed himself from the pressbox. When inquired, Paulinski expressed his confusion, stating, “I didn’t know I was a problem. I also don’t know why that if I was a problem, there was no communication as to how I’m being a problem, or how to resolve the situation”, and “Isn’t (Wheaties) in the Navy? Is this how he communicates to his teammates when he deploys? Good grief. This guy is catty, I mean c’mon, passive aggressive comments to the entire Slack? It’s like he wrote an article on a news site just to slight against me. I don’t get it. I wouldn’t do anything like that, I’d talk to him outright.”

Paulinski declined for further comment, stating that he was already late for a 9:45 puck drop.
