I think Jeff Blashill is not our biggest problem. Either is Ken Holland. Either is Tyler Wright.
Our biggest problem is lack of PRIME TALENT. And that was caused by the bad drafting between 2005 to 2011. Players from those drafts, these currently 25 to 31 old NHLrs should be our current IN-PRIME players, guys who would be carrying this team, if we would be any good. But we aren't.
Drafting Kindl at 2005 , drafting Emmerton/Matthias at 2006 2nds, drafting Smith at 2007 1st, drafting McCollum at 2008 1st (my GOD!) , drafting Ferraro as 2009 top pick, drafting Sheahan at 2010, drafting Jurco/Ouellet/Sproul as triple 2011 2nds, that is our current problem. Full list of mediocre picks as our top picks. You can have a failure top pick once in a while, here and there, but not all the time, every year. That kills the success.
People who are looking for the latest 5 years of drafting, are looking just totally wrong place. Major of those players have not developed yet. We'll see them pretty soon, but just looking on the last 5 years, tells nothing. Add extra 2 years, and our bad scouts will start looking suddenly good. Because we are just entering on an era, where Tyler Wright's work as a scouting is coming out.
