There is a huge difference between constructive criticism (which I have zero problem with) and bringing up passing on Barzal every 5 minutes.
The other difference is that things like drafting McAvoy, signing Pasta, and hiring Cassidy are all things that actually happened to the B's. So was signing Backes. If you want to discuss the impact that has had on the team, do it until the cows come home.
The B's didn't draft Barzal, so anything after that is pure speculation. While it's likely he would have been successful in Boston, there is no way to tell that for sure because of the players (specifically centers) the B's already had. If people want to ***** about it, great, but keep it to a single thread instead of having it permeate nearly every thread on the ****ing board.
This tread is about the non Tuukka problems the Bruins have. Particularly top 6 right winger and 3rd line Center. How is it not appropriate to bring up the Bruins management passing on Barzal in this tread (who would have fit perfectly in that role) when it is probably the single biggest issue with this team.
