His scouting is deficient on the basis that Slaf isn’t producing at whatever clip you wanted him to 50 games into his nhl career?The nostalgia of the honeymoon is definitely over for me in regards to the new management...
I really really like Hughes' approach still and am okay with St Louis as a coach.
But I am extremely disappointed at Gorton's nepotism styled management. He really sold him self well for me at the start whit his message, but the underlings he brought in are absolute dumbwits...
At least they kind of modernized the organization with a proper analytics department and development coaches.
On the other hand, how can you claim to work on a rebuild if the root of this effort, the scouting, is absolutely deficient?
All in all, sorry for the hot take, but we are very close to a state where we are wasting our rebuild time with this current management. Of course we have solid pieces, like our most likely monstrous blue line. But I am worried we are not gearing up for a perennial top tier team, as we should have.
Poor Slaf is a reflection of this... I think that not all hope is lost, but he needs to cook in the AHL, right f***ing now. If it works, then I will eat my words. A 60 point monster forward can indeed more valuable than a small 70 point center... Lots of ifs though at this point....
