I know it’s not a politically correct opinion... but I can’t help but feel like this org is very “traditional” in a don cherry sense. Slepyshev, pak, jp all spent last year fighting for a spot that was gifted to a good ol North American kid.
It seems like if you’re not a well established foreign player when you get here, your chances of being put in a spot to succeed are slim.
Where as cagguila, cammy, Rattie, Lucic and strome were given every chance to succeed in a scoring position, and guys like kassian and our other bottom 6ers we’re dressed all the time even after having very forgettable stretches, and Pak only got in because we needed a PKer, and even that took way longer than it should have. Hell even benning over guys like auvitu.
I dunno, I hate to believe something like this could be a real factor, but fact that those are the days the coaches were raised in makes me wonder, especially when it’s so glorified with Don Cherry still being on TV.
