Is it fair to say that McIlrath was picked with the thought he would be great in the Torts scheme of coaching?
What you have here is too many homers. They can't accept the guy is turning out to be a bust. This coming from a guy who was one of his biggest supports and hated Fowler in the draft. Still do. However, he's regressed. I would not be surprised if he's quietly asked for a trade behind closed doors.

Interesting, I'm seeing posts suggest that he's been flat-footed in the AHL, while other are suggesting he's a top pair guy. Which one is it? lol
The Undertaker has all the skill, size, and resources around him to be an excellent NHL D man.. it just isn't translating, he's been put under the wing of one-time greats (Redden, Beuk) and now paired with a vet like Tallinder, the kid should have learned more than enough to be an awesome stay-at-home defensemen but hasn't shown anything note-worthy thus far, I hope to be proved wrong and he makes the transition when Boyle finally retires
It's the latter. His play in the AHL has been very similar to last year. It's easy to look at his numbers and assume he's been terrible, but his stats don't really paint an accurate picture. I can buy that he hasn't shown much progression this year, but an assertion that he has regressed and has been bad, that's just categorically false.
I think he'd be a good fit in Edmonton. That team is filled with sissies. If nothing else McIlrath would restore some sense of pride and give the team an emotional boost when necessary. Such a mentally weak team. If his AHL game can translate at all to the NHL level he would be perfect for them on the blue line.
Would love to do McIlrath + Pick(s) (no first rounders) for Yakupov.
That's great, should have let Dallas make that mistake

Give it a rest already. You act like this is the rangers worst pick ever. When we all know it's not. You act like they drafted Glass
No, the Jessiman pick was worse. There were potential hall of famers picked after Jessiman, franchise players
McIlrath is starting to look like Jessiman 2. The rest of that 1st round didn't turn out quite as good as the Jessiman draft, but there were a lot of very good players we passed on for toughness.
I think McIlrath has the potential to be better than Glass but at this point at least Glass has played in the NHL, what has McIlrath proven? Also I think this was worse than the Jessiman pick because at least Jessiman had potential going for him and not the team wanting #toffness.
