Absolutely not Gaudette! He's going to be awesome: you don't just gas a player after one year. He's improving every game and his mental makeup is superior. Where would that attitude have left Jake V.?Adam will eventually be a great NHLer! Be patient; we'll still get a great player at #10 even if we go BPA. I have a hunch Madden will turn out too. There's no doubt you have to give to get but not at the expense of future development. Otherwise we throw what ever we need to at the #1 pick and hope that works out? What a waste of time and effort if that isn't successful. Then we can start the whole process over again? Being cautious is the prudent way I think. Play cards conservatively However, I'd just like to acknowledge that making rash moves at times (taking a risk), in order to build a winner can pay dividends -just look at soccer and baseball. When those teams decide it's time to go all in, they really make a statement. However, what's plan B if it doesn't work? So managing a professional sports team isn't as easy as it looks. Banning will be damned of he does and damned if he doesn't. That's why the copious amount of proposals gets boring after awhile.
