Actually, the opposite. Youve done nothing to refute any of the theses put forth by people youre arguing with. You have your opinion but all your proof that you offer is already refuted by the posts you respond to.
To say that Muckler was anything more than a disastrous GM for Ottawa... well, thats stupid.
Stability is the key in hockey to success, it’s what every franchise strive for, to say Muckler didn’t make any big moves he just had elite teams and 2 elite coaches is just a stupid argument. To point to Murray and say he did a ton of moves and hired a ton of coaches, activity that only made the team worse is a very bad argument.
I dont need to refute anything, just look at the standings and results. fans saying Muckler only had 2 coaches (Martin and Murray) and they were the two best in our history, the best teams, Thebest crowds, the most respect across the NHL, was a destination for players (Hossa, Alfie, Redden, Fisher) all wanted to stay, the best stability it’s all there in the record.
To use an argument that Murray was busy all the time isn’t a good argument. Look at the recent elite teams (Detroit extremely stable with the same coach and core players / Chicago same coach are core players / Pitt a couple of coaches the same core players) - it’s what elite teams do, they keep their elite players and make the playoffs every year and win.
