Video - How to Waste the "No.1 Prospect Pool in the NHL"

Not sure that I agree with everything here, but worth a watch IMO.

He nailed it. And the production values were better than what Fox/Fan Duel Sports West does for their features. We're indeed stuck in the mushy middle.

1000% accurate.. woof.

This was painful to revisit. It's incredible in hindsight how bad that PLD gamble was.

It kind of sucks that it's mostly true.

I remember advocating for both Tim Stuetzle and Dylan Guenther in their respective drafts. What could have been. The critique of Ken Holland is spot on and another indictment on Luc Robitaille. Both of them need to be relieved of their roles before this organization can begin to actually be better. By the way, I also wanted Mathieu Darche as GM but the Islanders have had a mixed bag of success and failure during his tenure. Even still, I would much rather have Darche, who's an up-and-coming executive willing and capable of learning from his failures instead of Holland, who's stuck in his ways despite the game passing him by.

Well, to be brutally honest...so was Rob until he gave up.

If Ken holds onto both Dumo and Ceci that's a prime example of someone not learniing by his mistakes.

Until Darche builds a real contender by himself he's not a much better GM than Rob was.
