Laughable to see people comparing JK to other simili prospectst we had before. So they do mishandle JK's development hence they surely mishandled McCarron and Cie...lol. AT one point we ask the organization to develop each and every one of our prospects on a path of its own....but we SUDDENLY put everybody together to try to prove a point?
JK WAS mishandled. And still is. Big time. It should have been his 1st year in the NHL this year. AT center. With good linemates. And he would have looked better 'cause the previous 2 years would have served to build his confidence at C. 1 year as a C in Liigan, 1 year as a C in Laval with Bouchard. Recipe for f***ing success. But in no way shape or f***ing form is that similar to McCarron, Scherbak or f***ing De la Rose.
Was JK a typical 3rd overall. No he wasn"t, But we HAD to pck 'cause of how Timmins f***ed up the centermen position in the last 18 years. I would not have picked Tkachuk. I would have went Zadina or Hughes. I would have been wrong. BUT I'M NOT PAID MILLIONS TO DO THAT JOB SO WHO CARE WHO I WANTED!
It's CLEAR that you can make something out of JK. Clear. But people will REALLY try to say that it was clear that you could have made offensive players out of McCarron or De la Rose. Are you f***ing mad? I guess between those incredible supposed years 03-07 when we were developing 20 players per year, that it was clear that Fischer should have become Nick Lidstrom or that Cory Urquhart should have been much better than Patrice Bergeron too?
So fire EVERY f***ing body from the OWNER to DEVELOPMENT to SCOUTING PRO AND AMATEUR. Keep Bouchard. That's it. Name a president hockey, name a GM, that will clearly choose another coach, unload the vets, TANK the next 3 years, win the f***ing lotteries, get f***ing Bedard, and kill the rest of the league after.
