Ottawa 67's mickey mouse team.
I think Goofy is running the team. and Wile E. is coaching. (see I am trying to add humour)
Uronen is gone and whether it was his choice or Goofy and Wile E it does not matter
Obviously, they decided to keep Korbler.
I am upset about this for a couple of reasons . Korbler is another example that Wile E has no idea how to coach offence, or Goofy drafted a dud and kept him to make the problem worse. Conmsider though that Wile E is the one that kept putting him on the top line and Ekberg on teh 4th line.
Now, we can say what we want about the draft, but the facts are that there is no top pick other than Esh or a defenceman that DC has developed. He had a first-round draft pick that he relegated to the third round . He had a high European that was rated before he came here and now may get drafted, but he may not because he was misused and not developed. Ekberg has 39 points. Imagine what he would have been like outside the first line after Christmas.
Goofy could not figure out how to trade anyone and got schooled by Pinelli and Mews. ( Imagine if Mews comes back next year what the Wolves will get)
Either Goofy can not draft and does not know what a center looks like (he drafted 2 early, and neither one is a center on the team), or Wile E cannot delete the players he got.
As
@ScoutLife4 said, consider how many players he has elevated to being drafted by the NHL in the early rounds.
People haave said that he was selected as WJC coach. Looking at the people who have coached the team I am starting to believe that it may not have been he was so good but that he was the only one who wanted it. Yes, he won once, but there was a coach from the Q also behind that bench with him named Andre Tourigny, and the other 2 times, he got eliminated.
As much as people may think it is good to see next year's 3 OA get playing time, consider this: If we are rebuilding, then how do you justify not having a center on your team with more than one year of experience?
We are going to have to trade some of the 07 crop, but there is not a lot to trade.
I have been accused of having Mavetyitis. After Boyd was educated, I was there for the last part of the Mav era. If you ask
@frontsfan67 it was not pretty. Bruce Cassidy got fired because Mav said he did not know how to coach. Dougie I will coach and GM but I am not gong to be in Kingston except for games and trained him.
They had first-round draft picks who would not report the first year so that they could develop in a different league and the kid would not be traded. Draft picks sat on the bench. Trades were made, and the goal of the team was make the playoffs every year even if it was 8th. My point is Goofylearned from Mavety. Goofy is running the team like Mavety did. The owner in Kingsto left Mav too do things and didn't care as long as he got the staus and saved on his business taxes.
