Should not be a surprise, this is the price that has to be paid to build a decent team/contender in the OHL.
DD has done nothing but tear it down for a couple of years....and not much more than that for nearing a decade.
He did a nice tweak of a Mike Futa build....mostly by understanding that our coach wasn't the right guy for the job....and by fleecing Niagara.
Since then he's been absolutely brutal when it comes to predicting the trajectory of talent and/or trading based on that inability.
He does NOT understand anything about timing in any sense of the term.
He destroyed his own future one stumble at a time.
Blandisi and Struthers were flailing madness at inopportune times to be sure. There were plenty more moves that were contributing blunders, although perhaps not as starkly ridiculous.
It's time to really start over.....or get used to being something less than before.
DD un-built this. I hope it was worth it for him. He flew it under the RADAR it seems.
On the bright side......he doesn't have to move.
