... have I missed any?
You could make an argument for Marc-Andre Fleury.

Because he isn't very good.How in the world has Jordan Staal been a disapointment?
Because he isn't very good.
It's all speculation, we have no idea whether one player would benefit better in one organization over the next. Daigle is an example of a guy who played great in his first two yrs, I believe he had around 50 pts just a few behind Yashin, he would have been one of the top scorers on today's team. You can't blame the organization because he lost his desire to play, he said it was his father's dream for him to play professional hockey not his. It was Daigle who quit on hockey, nothing to do with how the organization treated or developed him, he was doing fine on a terrible team.
Just because some players are great junior players or great in the AHL doesn't mean they will be great in the NHL. Van Allen was a great AHL player & was a checker in the NHL, how is this the organization's fault? Some players are just not fast enough, smart enough or good enough to be stars in the NHL. There are elite players, there are grinders & a whole bunch of players in-be-tween. While some may have been handled poorly by an organization, it's much more likely that players don't turn out to be as good as we think they are. For every Crosby, there are hundreds of Filatovs, there is no shortage of examples for either side of this arguement.
But but, according to the forums Columbus ruined Filatov, and also players AREN'T humans with thoughts and feelings!

Yeah, that Jordan Stall sure isn't good at hockey is he? He might want to head on back to Thunder Bay and look into doing something else with his life. What a failure.
Don't need Gagner and Yakupov for Cowen+Pag+Puempel is overpayment.
2nd trade, lol. Remove Greene, add Larsson, remove Stone = maybe.

Draft first overall for the next 100 years??????? LOL.

Considering how well Hemsky has played at the Olympics this year it wouldn't surprise me if they brought him in.
IMO our bargaining chips are 9MM, Greening, Conacher for the most part.

I take it, size means nothing to you.
We already have fairly big team. The only real size we lose is Cowen. The other players we trade are either small or dont use their size well excluding stone.
