I don't know enough about Daniels and the AHL to say if they are doing a good, average or horrible job, but how can you reconcile that we didn't get anything worthwhile out of these drafts but then put the failure to develop onto Charlotte? I mean if you have ****** ingredients, even the best chef is going to cook a ****** meal. For the most part, any prospect that has shown promise goes almost straight to the NHL (Sutter, Skinner, Lindholm, Murphy, Staal, Ladd (lockout AHL), etc..
Other than Boychuk and maybe Dalpe (who has had more than his fair share of chances), what really top picks / top talent have had a chance to develop in the AHL for the Canes? Again, I don't know enough about what they do down there to assess it, but it's not like they've been getting a lot of 1st/2nd round picks to ripen down there and we all know with the lack of scouting, that the Canes don't have a lot of success beyond the 2nd round.
