i worded it wrong. I mean as in prospect wise. Yes you give a good example but the thing is most people still have ned as a better prospect. but yes the future is unpredictable. We took a risk on murphy then put him in the nhl to soon. It was our management's fault on ruining him. Slavin was give time to develop. Also ned looked extremely solid in net at the nhl level by getting a penalty, us killing it off, (getting on the scoreboard) and saved every shot. we haven't seen that with Booth yet.
I think this is a myth. Ryan has had way more time in OUR system to develop when compared to Slavin. Slavin was older when he got to us because he stayed in college longer compared to Murphy, but Murphy has had much more time at the AHL level to try and learn the game. Slavin is just better. The three guys out playing Murphy who joined the team last year probably have less combined time in the AHL than Murphy. They just are better players. Management didn't ruin Murphy...Murphy ruined Murphy.
