  1. Although I like him Lombardi might not fit with Bruce or Rutherford. Remember his teams were total opposite style to Bruce and Rutherford. McPhee vegas style might be more of a fit.
  2. People want to win the cup via good draft picks more than winning via good trades. Personally much more satisfying.
  3. Rutherford has said before he prefers the Chicago model which was skill and discipline which the Pens were similar to style of play over the Kings which. Expect us to place importance in speed and players able to make plays at high speeds.
  4. Difference is Rutherford has full control in hockey matters which is was assured of. Rutherford left the Pens due to owner meddling.
  5. His first crucial step is who he picks as gm please no Botteril (he seems to lack charisma and doesn't seem too bright/smart)
  6. He stated many times carolina was about building pitts going all in canucks at bit different stage and building for future. So we will see if he does trade 1st rounders.
  7. Therefore its all good no need for ahl and draft them and graduate them straight to nhl. Shows drafting was decent. Rodin remember him we let him develop in Sweden under Gillis did he make it to Canucks and please dont make the injury excuse results is what counts.
  8. What is your point? I will put it simply many gillis picks never made it to nhl or even ahl. Benning picks made nhl without ahl time. So your theory on ahl development being the issue is not correct. Gillis was bad at drafting.
  9. Look benning drafted many players that did not even need ahl time boeser hogz podz. That shows that in terms of drafting benning was way better and ahl aint the problem.
  10. Part of drafting is figuring out the character of the player thats why they do interviews buddy. So the blame does in fact go to Gillis and his incompetent scouting staff. How come canucks late first picks su** under gillis and 2nd round picks under benning do good then? I aint a fan of both regimes btw.
  11. Who cares its khl we talking about nhl and canucks. Schroeder was bust everyone knows it. At his age if he was good he would be still on a nhl team period.
  12. No hogz podz did not even need ahl so your theory on ahl being the problem is wrong. Where is schroeder at where is cassels at where is hodgson at where is mallet at where is jensen at too many way too many waste of picks. Only horvat and fringe hutton and barely played for us connauton okay vs petey hughes boeser (did not need ahl) demko hoglander (did not need ahl) podkolzin (did not need ahl) forsling lind gadjovich gaudette (did not need ahl) okay. Mcdonaugh Forsell Costmar Lockwood Jurmo look promising.
  13. Wow horrible drafting, at least the linds gaudettes forslings gadjovich mccanns are getting there chances. Wheres mg's prospects now? Barely any of them even had a sniff at a nhl job. And some people want to let this guy take care of our future again with no sedins kesler burrows luongo erhoff.
  14. Tbh prolly cuz i know its not right but he lacks the typical leader charisma look.
  15. It did not work out but so did the gillis era where the prospect cupboard was bare with the ellingtons sauves jensens gaunces hodgsons. As you know there is a saying as time past people tend to forget the bad but only remember the good. Oh wait where the hell is Schroeder? HAHA And please don't tell me they never had a high draft pick under gillis excuse we drafted some late round nhlers under the recent regime. Both regimes were bad want to try bring in new leadership not past.
  16. Gave ntc like candy on Halloween, and took years to clean that up. And was not smart enought to trade players when there value dropped further. No thanks.
  17. I bet green now realizes that he should have had a better forecheck system. Please the drafting was horrible.
  18. No please what has he done in Utica or Abbotsford? Did we ever have a winning team there? plus he never smiles for some reason very weird.
  19. He is always too aloof too and negative. I recall meeting jeff tambellini downtown few years ago and asked him what he thought of mg and he replied "he barely knows him in a negative way" great shows him as a not liked and not a players gm.
