No plan, no process, no procedures, perhaps the worst medical staff in pro sports, no player development, no asset management, no vision of value contracts, just see the shiny toy and react. Hayes is a disaster, Ellis is a disaster, Couturier is potentially a disaster contract, Risto is a disaster contract, Laughton is a no value contract, Atkinson is a diminishing asset ,Deangelo was totally over valued, both in the trade return for Carolina and his contract. I'm quite certain JVR could have been moved at the deadline last year, someone would have taken him on for his power play skill. I'm sure I left some other things out.
Chuckles could obviously have gotten something in return for Oskar, though he should not have moved on from him. He was starting to play well last season considering who he had to play with. He wanted to upgrade skill, so he waived Oskar and signed Deslauriers. That should have got him fired. And perhaps it's not all his fault, perhaps he is getting leaned on by Scott and Homer, but to me that makes it worse. He has been neutered and has had his spine removed, or else he's just an idiot like we all believe to be true.
